US Senate Investigates Roblox Over Child Safety

The US Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism has opened an investigation into Roblox after senators Josh Hawley and Dick Durbin raised concerns about explicit content and alleged links between activity on the platform and real-world child abuse. In a letter to Roblox CEO David Baszucki, the senators alleged the platform has been used for grooming, sexual abuse, kidnapping, rape and murder, and cited Roblox's report of 65,381 suspected child sexual exploitation instances to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in 2025 — more than double its 2024 total. Several US states and Los Angeles County have sued Roblox, and advocacy groups have asked the US Federal Trade Commission to investigate. Roblox recently introduced age-based account types with stricter safety settings.
