Roblox is a game marketed to kids and mostly played by minors, but-like Lego, Minecraft and other open-world building brands-it has a large adult fan base, too. Roblox did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
It also mentions "dedicated technology and trained human moderator staff" that the platform employs to prevent child sexual abuse materials while the filing doesn't elaborate on what those technologies or moderation practices are, Roblox is one of several platforms using Microsoft's " Project Artemis," a system that reviews chatroom conversations, rates them based on whether they're a grooming risk, and flags those ratings to human moderators for review. The filing also outlines the risk of adults grooming kids on the Roblox platform: "While we devote considerable resources to prevent this from occurring, we are unable to prevent all such interactions from taking place." It's been a problem for years: In 2018, a six year old player stumbled into a "sex room" on Roblox, and in September 2020, a 48 year old man was arrested and charged for allegedly coercing an 8-year-old girl into sending him explicit videos of herself. We may also be subject to additional criminal liability related to child pornography or child sexual exploitation under other domestic and international laws and regulations." Future non-compliance with federal laws against hosting child pornography "could significantly harm our reputation, create criminal liability, and could be costly and time consuming to address or defend. "While we have dedicated technology and trained human moderator staff that can detect and remove sexual content involving children, there have been instances where such content has been uploaded," the filing stated.
