Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has joined a growing chorus of state officials accusing Roblox Corporation of failing to protect children from online predators, filing a lawsuit that alleges the multibillion-dollar gaming company put “pixel pedophiles and corporate profit” ahead of safety.
Paxton accused Roblox on Nov. 6 of violating state and federal consumer protection and child-safety laws by deceiving parents about the dangers of its platform, failing to prevent sexual exploitation and grooming, and profiting from a system that exposes minors to predators and explicit content.
