ফ্লোরিডা এজি সাবপোনাস রোবলক্সকে শিশু সুরক্ষা নীতি নিয়ে
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WFLA) – Florida’s Attorney General on Monday issued a subpoena to popular online gaming platform Roblox, demanding information about how the platform sets age verification requirements, controls chat functions, and markets to children. The subpoena also requires Roblox to hand over documents related to the collection and processing of children’s data. Attorney General James Uthmeier’s office said there have been multiple reports of children being exposed to graphic or harmful material on the gaming platform because predatory adults were able to freely send messages through the app. In 2024, Robox had more than 85 million daily active users, with an estimated 40% of them under the age of 13. The system features millions of games and interactive environments, with content developed by both the platform and users. Across the country, parents have filed at least eight lawsuits against the popular world-building and gaming app, alleging that the platform makes it too easy for predators to contact, groom, and even abduct children. One such lawsuit was filed after a 10-year-old California girl was found in May hours away from her home with a 27-year-old man she met on Roblox. The man has been charged with kidnapping and child sex crimes. Another lawsuit calls Roblox a “digital hunting ground” for child abusers. That lawsuit centers on a 13-year-old Iowa girl who was allegedly kidnapped from her grandmother’s home and sexually assaulted. According to the victim’s family, the 37-year-old suspect claimed to be a teenager while speaking with the victim on Roblox. Similar lawsuits have been filed by families in Alabama, Florida, Indiana, New Jersey, Texas, and Washington, according to a law firm representing the families. In many pending criminal cases and lawsuits, alleged groomers have impersonated minors.
