Roblox Under Australian Scrutiny Amid Child-Grooming Concern

Australia’s digital regulator said it’s testing Roblox Corp.’s compliance with its own commitments to keep kids safe as concerns grow about potential child grooming and sexual exploitation on the platform.

“We remain highly concerned by ongoing reports regarding the exploitation of children on the Roblox service and exposure to harmful material,” eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said in a statement late Monday.
