Roblox Faces Backlash for Attempt to Move 150+ Child Sex Abuse Lawsuits Into Private Arbitration
ROBLOX is appealing multiple court decisions as it tries to force more than 150 federal lawsuits alleging child sexual abuse on its platform into private arbitration, a move critics say would limit public scrutiny of those claims.
Parents of victims say Roblox assured users their children would be safe on the platform but failed to put enough safeguards in place to prevent abuse. The company points to clauses in its user agreement that require arbitration for most disputes; plaintiffs say those clauses would keep hearings and evidence behind closed doors.
