Roblox Under Fire: Florida's Fight for Kids' Safety

Florida is making a big move against Roblox. They say the game lets adults pretend to be kids. This makes it easy for them to talk to real children. The state claims Roblox is not doing enough to stop this. Investigators made fake accounts for kids aged 7, 8, and 10. They found these accounts could join many games right away. Some games had scary names like "Survive the Killer. " Others were based on bad places linked to Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuit also mentions many accounts using Epstein's name. There are also videos of Roblox avatars on adult sites. Florida says predators use Roblox to find kids. They then move talks to other apps like Discord. This leads to bad things happening to kids. Florida says Roblox broke laws. They collected data from kids under 13 without parent permission. The Attorney General says Roblox is not safe. He wants them to be responsible for their actions. Roblox has not talked about this lawsuit yet. But they have said they care about safety. They added tools to check user ages for chat features. Roblox is very popular, especially with young kids. The lawsuit says the problems are not just one-time things. They are part of the whole system. This could affect many families. Florida wants Roblox to pay fines. They also want Roblox to make safety better. This includes real age checks and limits on adult contact. They want stricter checks on games made by users.
