Roblox Lawsuit – Holding Roblox and Discord Accountable
Roblox, a platform marketed as a safe and fun gaming site for children and teens, has instead become a tool for predators to exploit vulnerable users. The company’s lack of effective safety measures, in pursuit of profit, has led to increasing reports of explicit content and the sexual exploitation of minors.
Even worse, predators often use Discord—a chat app connected to Roblox communities—to continue communication with children and further their abuse. Our legal team is committed to holding Roblox and Discord accountable for putting children at risk and to fighting for justice for families who have been harmed.
Compromised Safety
In 2024, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation added Roblox to its Dirty Dozen List—an annual campaign that highlights twelve mainstream companies accused of enabling and profiting from sexual exploitation.
Despite mounting reports and multiple high-profile incidents, Roblox reported a 2% decline in trust and safety expenses year over year. While the company has implemented new parental controls for children under 13, these protections do not extend to users over 13. Even for younger users, creating a fake age profile bypasses restrictions with ease.
Other major safety issues include:
No reliable age verification for accessing explicit content or chatrooms
Outsourced moderation to overseas call centers, unable to handle the scale of interactions
Inability to permanently ban predators, with groups flagged for violations often remaining active
Long-Standing Reports of Abuse
Roblox and Discord have repeatedly been used by predators to exploit minors:
2019: A predator in Florida used Roblox and Discord to coerce children ages 10–12 into sending nude images.
Robux exploitation: A registered sex offender bribed an 8-year-old girl with Robux (the platform’s currency) in exchange for nude videos—an instance where Roblox directly profited from the abuse.
2024: A man from Chile traveled to the United States to meet a young girl he had groomed on Roblox.
These examples demonstrate a pattern of exploitation that Roblox has failed to prevent.
Why Roblox Should Be Held Accountable
Roblox markets itself as a safe, child-friendly environment but continues to:
Provide false assurance to parents and families
Profit from the exploitation of children through Robux and unsafe platform practices
Ignore years of reports, warnings, and mounting evidence of abuse
This negligence and betrayal of trust demand accountability.
