OKLAHOMA CITY – Attorney General Gentner Drummond is taking the first step into potential legal action against Roblox over serious child safety concerns. His office has requested proposals for legal services to investigate and possibly sue the popular online gaming platform.
According to the request for legal proposals, Roblox lacks adequate safety measures and is “overrun with harmful content and child predators.” The document cites disturbing examples of games hosted on the platform, including titles such as “Escape to Epstein Island,” “Diddy Vibe,” and “Public Bathroom Simulator Vibe.”
“When a platform that markets itself to children becomes a hunting ground for sexual predators, we will take action,” said Drummond. “No company should profit while Oklahoma children are put at risk, and we will hold Roblox accountable, if necessary, for creating an environment where our kids are not safe.”
Roblox has faced increasing scrutiny over its safety measures and content moderation practices. Louisiana filed a lawsuit against Roblox last month, and Florida’s attorney general launched an investigation into the platform’s child safety practices earlier this year.
Proposals for Oklahoma’s potential legal action are due Friday, Oct. 3. The Attorney General’s Office will then evaluate the proposals and award the most economical and most competent private attorneys or firms.
