Australia Ramps Up Roblox Pressure Over Child-Grooming Reports

Australia’s government ramped up pressure on Roblox Corp., summoning executives to explain reports that have alleged children as young as four years old have been sexually groomed on the gaming service.

“They need to account for that as a first principle,” Communications Minister Anika Wells said Tuesday. “We’ll take it from there.” Roblox representatives have agreed to meet Wells to address concerns that pedophiles are exploiting the platform to pursue children.
