Overview
- Attorney General Chris Carr issued a Civil Investigative Demand to Roblox seeking records on reports of abuse, parental controls, moderation tools, age verification, audits of adult–child interactions, and child-focused marketing claims.
- The inquiry follows recent incidents cited by Carr’s office, including Georgia State Patrol recovering two Florida girls who had communicated with a 19-year-old from Nebraska on Roblox, and a 2023 case involving coerced explicit images from a 12-year-old.
- Roblox said it will cooperate and highlighted safeguards, noting a global rollout in early 2026 of mandatory Facial Age Estimation for users to access chat features, along with moderation and law-enforcement partnerships.
- State officials emphasized that a Civil Investigative Demand is an information-gathering step and does not establish wrongdoing by the company.
- The action aligns with Carr’s broader online-safety agenda, including a recent human-trafficking conviction tied to online targeting and support for the federal Kids Online Safety Act.
