Kentucky suits Robox due to the concerns of the child’s safety and the risk of predators

First on the fox: Kentucky On Monday, a civil lawsuit against Roblox claims that the huge gaming platform is not safe for children, as it joins a growing list of entities that filed a lawsuit on similar allegations.

Public Prosecutor Russell Coleman claimed in the lawsuit, which was submitted to the Kentucky Circle Court and obtained by Fox News Digitter, that Robox has no sufficient handrails for children, and thus exposes them to predators for children, violence and sexually explicit materials.

“The defendants do not ask users to verify their age when subscribing,” Kentucky’s lawyers wrote in the complaint. “In this way, predators can – and do – create accounts to form them as children.”

Children can subscribe to use Roblox and access millions of games, also known as “experiments”, by entering their birth date, user name and password. Kentucky’s lawyers claim that the subscription process needs more barriers to entry and a form of parental approval of minors.
