Roblox chat filters bypassed, monetization criticized
Critics claim Roblox's chat restrictions are easy to get around, leaving minors exposed.
The platform is also accused of using things like Robux and loot boxes to encourage overspending among kids.
Roblox denies these claims, pointing to features like parental controls and age-based accounts, but with more than a third of its 144 million daily users under 13, the pressure is on to keep everyone safe.
Even as Roblox expects $7.6 billion in earnings this year, it's dealing with more than 140 lawsuits tied to child exploitation concerns.
The company has rolled out new safety updates recently, but ongoing legal trouble continues to challenge its reputation and growth.
