Kentucky sues Roblox over Charlie Kirk 'assassination simulators'
Roblox said that some plaintiffs are misrepresenting the situation for financial gain.
Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman has alleged that online gaming platform Roblox has not protected children from abhorrent content.
Coleman filed a lawsuit on Monday, claiming that Roblox has allowed minors to be exposed to "animated bloody" content surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
'We constantly monitor all communication for critical harms.'
The lawsuit, posted by Fox News Digital, accuses the massive online gaming community of operating under insufficient guardrails in terms of denying children access to certain materials. This includes violence, sexually explicit materials, and alleged "Charlie Kirk 'assassination simulator[s].'"
Blaze News previously reported that as of Q2 2024, Roblox had a claimed 79 million active daily users, an increase of almost 15 million from the same time in 2023. This included approximately 58% of its user base being under 16 years old, which equates to at least 46 million children.
