Kentucky is taking Roblox to court for permitting an exploitative online environment. Attorney General Russell Coleman announced the lawsuit on Tuesday and warned parents of the dangers posed by the popular gaming platform.
"Roblox is the website of choice for child predators," Coleman said, calling it "playground" for people seeking to harm minors.
Roblox draws 380 million monthly users, including nearly two thirds of children between 9 and 12 years old in the U.S.
The Attorney General's complaint alleges Roblox:
Created an environment for predators and international organizations with links to terrorist organizations to distribute child sexual abuse material;
Became a facilitator for predators to target and groom young victims online before escalating to real-world sexual violence;
