Overview
- Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers filed the case in Adams County District Court on Wednesday, accusing Roblox of enabling adult–minor contact and exposing children to sexually explicit and violent content.
- The complaint describes grooming tactics that include luring kids with in‑game currency, steering conversations off‑platform to services like Discord, and cites law‑enforcement cases involving abductions and assaults.
- The state seeks damages and an injunction, alleging negligence, fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation, and violations of Nebraska’s Consumer Protection Act and Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
- Roblox disputes the claims and says safety is central to the platform, pointing to filters, age‑based chat limits, late‑2024 parental controls, facial age and ID checks rolling out globally in January 2026, and AI tools such as Roblox Sentinel.
- Nebraska joins a growing wave of actions that include suits by Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Kentucky, Iowa and Tennessee, a recent Los Angeles County filing, and more than 130 family cases consolidated in federal multidistrict litigation, with additional state investigations underway.
