Draft:Legal actions involving Roblox

Throughout its lifetime, several instances of legal action have been taken by and against the video game platform Roblox through its parent company Roblox Corporation.

By Roblox

edit

Schlep cease and desist letter

edit

On August 9, 2025, Roblox YouTuber Schlep, known for his sting operations on pedophiles and sexual predators who used the platform, made a post on Twitter that included a photo of a cease and desist notice that he received from Roblox.[1] The company said that he violated Roblox policies, specifically its new "vigilante groups" rule, and that he "actively interferes" with their protocols and should have reported inappropriate conduct to "official channels". They threatened to take legal action against him if he continued his activities or attempted to access Roblox.[2][3] The letter also said that he violated user privacy guidelines by participating in "unauthorized and harmful activities" to users.[4] Roblox terminated all of Schlep's accounts from the platform and prohibited him from creating new ones.[5] Schlep also said that Roblox CEO David Baszucki blocked him on X (formerly Twitter).[6]

On the same day, Schlep uploaded an 8-minute video to his YouTube channel, titled "Roblox Is Threatening to Sue Me For Protecting Kids", in which he detailed his termination from the platform and criticized Roblox.[7] Schlep said that he was groomed in his youth on Roblox by a "popular developer", who made him watch gore videos and sexually explicit content and manipulated him to do inappropriate actions.[8] He also said that he and his team were thanked by police for catching predators on Roblox.[9] Schlep added that he was disappointed with the termination of his accounts, and that it was the first time he was directly contacted by the platform. Schlep called the claims in the cease-and-desist letter "laughably hilarious". He added that he will never access Roblox ever again unless he is allowed by the platform, and that he will continue his operations against predators on his website.[10] This video would go viral, sparking a larger controversy.

On August 15, 2025, Schlep announced that he had hired lawyers with the intention to countersue Roblox.[11][12] Stinar Gould Grieco & Hensley, the law firm that represents Schlep, stated that Roblox's policies have enabled child predators, adding that they represent over 500 clients with similar stories of abuse.[13] Steven Vanderporten, one of the lawyers, stated that Roblox's decision to ban Schlep suggests their carelessness about child safety and the suppression of criticism.[14] He also stated that inappropriate games on Roblox have existed for almost 20 years, and that Roblox did nothing about them and used them to make profit.[15] Law by Mike, a lawyer and YouTuber with over 14 million subscribers, announced his partnership with the legal team representing Schlep on September 1 to sue Roblox.[16] Schlep confirmed his legal team's partnership with the YouTuber, adding that he has not filed a lawsuit due to being focused on "raising awareness about the dangers of Roblox".[17]

Roblox Corporation v. Simon

edit

On November 23, 2021, Roblox Corporation filed a lawsuit against Benjamin Robert Simon, better known as the YouTuber Ruben Sim, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.[18][19] The complaint, which invoked the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, sought $1.65 million in damages for alleged fraud and breach of contract.[19][20] The lawsuit alleged Simon had led a "cybermob" to harass users, repeatedly circumvented a permanent platform-wide ban and posted false and misleading terrorist threats on social media,[21][22][20] which prompted a temporary lockdown of the 2021 Roblox Developers Conference in San Francisco.[23]

Simon initially declined to comment on the lawsuit, stating on Twitter that he wanted to simplify the legal proceedings.[24] The litigation concluded on January 14, 2022, when both parties agreed to a settlement formalized in a court-approved stipulated order.[19][25] Under the terms of the settlement, Simon agreed to a $150,000 monetary judgment without admitting wrongdoing.[25][26] He also accepted a permanent injunction banning him from the platform,[27] as well as barring him from coming within 100 feet of any Roblox corporate office.[28] Due to it being resolved out of court, a legal precedent for other users who may evade IP bans or violate a game's terms of service was not established.[29][30][31]

Following the settlement, Simon publicly addressed several of the lawsuit's allegations, broadly denying the corporation's most severe claims. Simon maintained that the corporation weaponized his past terms of service violations to aggressively police his off-platform conduct and silence his ongoing criticisms of their alleged child safety and moderation failures.[26]

Censorship

edit

Laws and regulation

edit

Asia

edit

In November 2025, the Malaysian politician Lee Lam Thye proposed a government bill that would ban Roblox citing growing concerns about user safety and exposure to inappropriate content among children where the minister of the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development, Nancy Shukri, stated the government was weighing the possibility of banning Roblox.[32] Malaysian authorities cited that one of the reasons they are considering a national ban on the game is because it promotes violent and inappropriate content to minors, following multiple reports from the Johor police confirming that a 9-year-old boy had seriously stabbed his brother due to his addiction to the platform.[33][34]

In January 2026, Kazakh MP Unzila Shapak proposed that the Kazakh government take action regarding Roblox's operations in the country, citing problems such as pedophilia and the presence of scammers requesting personal information from minors as being a problem. Shapak also pointed out that the platform had highly addictive elements marketed to minors, which could expose them to sexual or violent material at an early age and create certain dependencies to electronic devices.[35][36] In the same month, Janybek Amatov, a member of the Kyrgyz parliament, raised restrictions on games marketed to children, such as Roblox and Minecraft, following the presence of pedophiles.[37]

Africa

edit

In December 2025, the Moroccan government took the first steps to moderate the platform and other online games after repeated warnings from several members of parliament who voiced their concern that the platform could be a danger to minors such as Fatima Zahra Afif. In addition, some members of the Moroccan parliament had been considering taking a much stronger approach to Roblox after authorities in neighboring Algeria had decided to ban it completely a few months earlier.[38][39]

Europe

edit

On March 20, 2026, Petition No. 1546/2025, submitted by representatives from Latvia, and Petition No. 1632/2025, submitted by representatives from Greece, were deemed admissible by the European Parliament on the grounds that the Roblox platform was not implementing adequate security measures for minors, noting that the tools on the platform were not sufficiently effective.[40][41]

South America

edit

Following the implementation of the Felca Law in March 2026, Brazilian regulators have classified Roblox as an 18+ game due to its use of microtransactions, which are likened to online gambling, and to prevent potential addiction among minors. Following the enforcement of the law, the company entered into discussions with the Brazilian Ministry of Justice to reassess the game's rating, given that the platform is primarily used by minors in the country.[42]

Regulatory action

edit

Australia

edit

In February 2026, several politicians in Australia called on the country's regulators to impose more restrictions on the platform after multiple cases of grooming. Among them was Minister for Communications Anika Wells, who had described the platform as "disturbing" after seeing how children could easily bypass the platform's security to access sexual content as well as experiences that promoted suicide and self-harm. She also requested that the game's PG rating be reviewed again by the Australian Classification Board, where it was noted that the platform hosted games intended for adults.[43] Following the public backlash, senior Australian government officials called meetings with Roblox, where they indicated that if the company is unable to neutralize cases of child sexual abuse on its platform, it could face fines of A$49.5 million.[44][45]

These decisions were made by the Australian government after receiving several reports of child grooming, where it was noted that the security measures imposed by the platform were not sufficient to protect minors. Additionally, it was indicated that the platform was originally excluded from the original Online Safety Amendment that banned social media for minors, but following the reports, it was decided to implement protocols for platforms such as Roblox, to be applied from March 2026.[46][47]

Asia

edit

In August 2025, Indonesia requested that Roblox strengthen its chat filters to remove harmful content and enhance child safety,[48] warning that failure to comply could result in a ban.[49] Authorities in the city of Surabaya also imposed local bans on Roblox in primary and secondary schools, citing multiple incidents where sexual predators had harassed minors through the platform, following requests from the local Ministry of Education.[50]

In March 2026, Philippine authorities began taking certain measures to restrict minors, citing that Roblox was hosting groups that promoted terrorism, where the Philippine National Police's (PNP) Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG) had notified the public that children were sharing neo-Nazi and far-right content through the platform, and that certain entities on Roblox were promoting school shootings in Calabarzon.[51] The CICC issued a 30-day ultimatum stating that if Roblox failed to comply with child protection laws, the platform could be blocked.[52] On March 25, 2026, Philippine authorities decided to shorten the deadline to just 15 days after receiving multiple reports by Filipino parents that Roblox was facilitating terrorism and online sexual abuse, with the aim of pressuring the company to implement appropriate filters for children.[53] In the same month, the CICC ordered the company to establish a physical office in the Philippines. The CICC also highlighted that Roblox was being used to distribute drugs and weapons, as well as child pornography.[54] On April 7, the DICT announced that they and the CICC will no longer pursue any plans to ban Roblox in the country after a meeting with law enforcement, the private sector and representatives from Roblox Corporation, after the company announced "enhanced safeguards" to ensure children's safety on the platform through reporting mechanisms, stringent monitoring and content controls.[55]

Europe

edit

The Netherlands and Belgium have restricted certain games on the platform due to their regulations on in-game "loot boxes", which give out items based on random or unknown chances, to reduce children's exposure to gambling.[56]

South America

edit

In November 2025, the Ministry of Education of the City of Buenos Aires in Argentina issued an indefinite block on the platform on public school computers after receiving multiple reports of grooming. The Ministry of Education made this decision after a case of child exploitation in which the platform was being actively used by pedophiles based in the city of Cipolletti, who requested intimate photos of minors in exchange for Robux.[57][58] Following the platform ban in Buenos Aires, the secretaries of public education in the provinces of Córdoba, Mendoza and Misiones issued regional bans on Roblox on all public school devices after multiple reports of grooming and child harassment.[59][60][61]

Criminal investigations

edit

Asia

edit

In March 2026, Philippine Senator Risa Hontiveros filed Senate Resolution No. 357 to investigate whether platforms such as Roblox were failing to maintain adequate controls to protect minors, alleging that the platform facilitated the distribution of child pornography and online grooming within the Philippines.[62]

Europe

edit

In 2025, the Danish Gambling Authority released reports detailing how Roblox is exploiting and financially abusing children through its Robux currency, noting that the platform was employing tactics similar to those used by betting sites targeting minors.[63]

In October 2025, the Attorney General's Office in Lleida, Catalonia, Spain, launched a series of investigations following several reports from parents whose children had been harassed through Roblox.[64] In the same month, the Dutch government began reviewing Roblox over child safety concerns.[65][66]

In January 2026, the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) launched investigations to probe whether the platform was safe in the European Union after multiple reports and lawsuits claiming that the platform was a danger to minors.[67]

Latin America

edit

Between 2023 and 2024, the Public Ministry of Labor (Ministério Público do Trabalho) of Sao Paulo launched an investigation into monetization on the platform and how the American company was taking advantage of young developers in Brazil, where the company did not provide them with proper payment for their work. Roblox had previously clarified to the Federal Government of São Paulo that its monetization model was not abusive and that minors had previously consented to the platform monetizing their content. However, this response caused some disagreement with Luísa Carvalho Rodrigues, representative of Coordinfância (Coordenadoria Nacional de Combate à Exploração do Trabalho da Criança e do Adolescente lit. National Coordination for Combating the Labor Exploitation of Children and Adolescents), the branch of the Public Ministry of Labor that regulates child labor in Brazil, quoting "Just because it's fun doesn't mean it's not work, if the requirements of an employment relationship are met." following investigations comparing it to child labor in the Brazilian state regarding the platform monetization and corcerns from parents.[68][69]

United States

edit

In February 2025, Bloomberg News reported that Roblox was under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for unknown reasons.[70][71]

In April 2025, Florida attorney general James Uthmeier sent a subpoena to Roblox about uses of the platform by users age 16 and under as well as the platform's protections for children against "mature content". Uthmeier had also sought communications to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and reports of abuse to and from Florida users among other things via the subpoena.[72] On October 20, 2025, Uthmeier sent the Roblox Corporation criminal subpoenas.[73]

In February 2026, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr launched an investigation into Roblox following instances and reports of child exploitation.[74]

Lawsuits

edit

Criminal

edit

United States

edit

On August 14, 2025, Louisiana attorney general Liz Murrill filed a child protection lawsuit against Roblox Corporation.[75][76] The suit alleged that by actively shutting down independent efforts to expose potential dangers on its platform, Roblox was failing in its duty to protect its underage users from harm.[77] Roblox Corporation responded to the lawsuit on August 15, stating that they continuously work "to enhance our moderation approaches to promote a safe and enjoyable environment for all users".[78]

On September 15, 2025, Oklahoma attorney general Gentner Drummond announced that he was seeking outside law firms to investigate Roblox over alleged child exploitation and safety failures. He requested that law firms investigate, gather evidence, and potentially take legal action against Roblox Corporation on behalf of the state.[79] On October 6, 2025, Kentucky attorney general Russell Coleman filed a lawsuit against the Roblox Corporation, saying that "Roblox has insufficient guardrails for children and therefore exposes them to child predators, violence and sexually explicit material."[80][81]

On November 6, 2025, Texas attorney general Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the Roblox Corporation, alleging that the company misleadingly promoted its platform as a safe environment for children.[82][83] On December 16, 2025, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced an investigation into the Roblox Corporation.[84] On the same day, Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird filed a lawsuit against Roblox Corporation for allegedly failing to protect children from exploitation.[85] On December 18, 2025, the Attorney General of Tennessee Jonathan Skrmetti would sue Roblox for misleading parents about child safety, saying that "Roblox is the digital equivalent of a creepy cargo van lingering at the edge of a playground".[86]

Los Angeles County also filed a lawsuit against Roblox, claiming the platform "makes children easy prey for pedophiles" and "fail[s] to implement reasonable and readily available safety measures".[87] On March 4, 2026, Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers filed a lawsuit against Roblox, accusing the platform of becoming a "playground" for child predators and misleading parents and guardians about the safety precautions taken on the platform.[88]

On April 15, 2026, a settlement was reached with the state of Nevada, as it was in preparation to file a lawsuit claiming the platform lacked basic features to protect children from predators and exploitation. Roblox agreed to pay $10 million supporting children's programs in Nevada over the next three years, as well as $2.5 million on an awareness campaign regarding child safety online and a staff law enforcement liaison.[89]

On April 21, 2026, it was announced that a settlement in Alabama and West Virginia requires Roblox to implement age verification and restrict chat for users under 16. Roblox has agreed to pay over $23,000,000 to both states. The West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey, said in a statement that the settlement came from the state's investigation into Roblox, which found that the platform exposed the youth to predators, grooming, and sexual and violent content. McCuskey and his office states that the $11,080,000 will go to the state, which will use the funding for a West Virginia safety specialist, child safety workshops for parents, legal guardians and children in the state and an awareness campaign for parents/guardians, and the leftover money will go into the state's consumer protection fund.

On May 7, 2026, Indiana filed a 70 page lawsuit against Roblox and Discord. Attorney General Todd Rokita alleged the platforms has not made sufficient measures to protect children against predators online, and the effectiveness of the safety features that were released “remain to be seen”, with sexually explicit content accessible on the platform. The lawsuit said predators form online friendships with children and then attempt to exploit them with the "Robux" currency empowering predators. The companies are accused of violating the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act by failing to employ adequate safeguards for children and warnings for parents and guardians about objectionable content and misrepresenting the safety of their platforms.[92][93]

Civil

edit


edit

In June 2016, Cinemark Theatres filed a lawsuit against Roblox Corporation over trademark infringement. The plaintiff cited several user-created games within Roblox that recreated Cinemark locations, including the trademarked branding.[94]

In June 2021, the National Music Publishers' Association filed a lawsuit against Roblox Corporation for $200 million, accusing the company of infringing copyright laws. The complaint states, "Roblox actively preys on its impressionable user base and their desire for popular music, teaching children that pirating music is perfectly acceptable."[95][96] Roblox Corporation responded to the lawsuit by contending that they "do not tolerate copyright infringement" and expressing an intent to contest the lawsuit.[97] On September 27, 2021, Roblox and NMPA announced they had reached an agreement that "settles claims filed by NMPA members [and] offers an industry-wide opt-in open to all eligible NMPA publishers," settling the lawsuit.[98]

Child safety

edit

In October 2022, a lawsuit was filed by a parent in the San Francisco Superior Court.

On October 30, 2025, a family in Miami-Dade County, Florida, filed a lawsuit against both Roblox and Discord citing allegations of failing to protect and maintain the safety of their 11-year-old daughter from a pedophile after the pedophile met her on Roblox and turned communications off-platform to Discord.[105]

Fraud

edit

In February 2018, YouTuber Kerstin Hoffmann, known as Keisyo, claimed that Roblox Corporation owed her $150,000 because the company had stopped her from converting her 42 million Robux balance into real-world money for no given reason. In response, Roblox Corporation stated that she could not transfer her Robux because she had earned them through "fraudulent activities".[106]

In May 2021, an unnamed litigant filed a class-action lawsuit against Roblox Corporation, accusing the company of ripping off players with bogus purchases. Stating "The company's decision to sell first and 'moderate' later has obvious monetary benefit for Roblox, by the time defendant has deleted items from the Avatar Shop and users' inventories, it has already taken its 30% commission from the sale." Roblox Corporation said that they review all content submitted by developers through a multi-step review process before it appears on the platform.[107] In May 2023, Roblox agreed to settle the suit for $10 million, in the form of a Robux refund to any users who bought an item before May 11, 2023.[108][109][110]
