Florida AG Alleges Roblox Is A Predator “Breeding Ground,” Opens Investigation
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is launching an investigation into developer Roblox Corporation, alleging that the online game creator Roblox is a “breeding ground” for predators that enables child abuse.
In a press release from the Republican’s office, Uthmeier said he and his team will be issuing Roblox Corporation “criminal subpoenas” for “profiting off of our kids and exposing them to the most dangerous of harms.” This investigation will allow Uthmeier to determine whether the company’s action or inaction aids child abuse.
“Companies like Roblox have become breeding grounds for predators to get to and have access to our kids,” Uthmeier said in an October 20 video posted to X. “These criminal subpoenas will enable us to gather more information for our prosecutors about the criminal activity taking place on the Roblox platform, as well as evidence on the predators that are out there and the victims that are abused.”
