Roblox is a popular gaming platform with over 100 million daily active users, nearly half of whom are children under 13.
The platform features user-generated games, including 'Dress to Impress' (DTI), which has a dark side involving cyberbullying, sexual assault, and inappropriate content.
Roblox has been criticized for monetizing children through in-game purchases like Robux, likened to 'child gambling' by experts.
The platform has faced lawsuits and accusations of being unsafe for children, with allegations of grooming and exploitation by predators.
Despite safety measures, many inappropriate games and interactions are accessible to children, raising concerns among parents and experts.
Roblox claims to prioritize safety but has been accused of systemic failures in protecting minors, leading to tragic outcomes in some cases.
