Attorney General Ken Paxton Sues Roblox for Putting Pixel Pedophiles and Profits Over the Safety of Texas Children
November 7, 2025 – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Roblox Corporation, accusing the gaming giant of endangering children and prioritizing profits over safety. The complaint alleges that Roblox — one of the world’s largest online gaming platforms for children — has “flagrantly ignored” both state and federal online safety laws while misleading parents about the risks their children face.
According to the lawsuit, Roblox markets itself as a creative and secure environment for young players, yet has allegedly become a “breeding ground for predators.” The filing claims that children have been exposed to explicit content, exploitation, and online grooming due to insufficient safeguards and lax content moderation.
“We cannot allow platforms like Roblox to operate as digital playgrounds for predators,” Paxton said in a statement. “Any corporation that enables child abuse will face the full force of the law.”
The case mirrors Paxton’s broader campaign against major technology and social media companies, including recent legal actions against TikTok and Meta. Roblox has not yet responded publicly to the allegations.
