But that&#8217;s not the worst thing that has come out regarding the platform. Because along with that, <strong>it seems that the platform&#8217;s moderation is not preventing, or is unable to prevent, the safety of children on their platform<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to findings by Hidenberg Research, several game experiences based on sexual predators like Jeffrey Epstein or P Diddy, which display sexual or inappropriate images for children, are accessible in the game for people of all ages without any verification. Similarly, <strong>in multiple chat rooms, they observed images of children being sexually abused being shared completely publicly<\/strong>. All of this, along with numerous spaces they considered specifically designed to expose minors to pornography, violent content, or even abuse or conditioning to suffer it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Roblox | Official Trailer (2020)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eAvXhNlO-rA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This, together with the number of bots on the platform, <strong>leads Hidenberg Research to estimate that the actual number of Roblox users has been inflated by between 25% and 42%, and the hours spent in the game by up to 100%<\/strong>. However, this is the least of their problems considering their lack of control or moderation against all forms of child abuse or its propagation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this regard, Roblox has considered their platform to be safe. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/roblox-reported-13316-instances-of-child-exploitation-last-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">The reality is that Bloomberg<\/a>, already in 2023, <strong>reported 13,316 cases of child exploitation on Roblox, in addition to two dozen people who have been arrested for abusing minors after contacting them through the game<\/strong>. In 2024, not only does it not seem that the situation has improved, but also, Roblox seems delighted to continue turning a blind eye and deaf ear to what is happening on their platform as long as they keep making money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We always repeat that Roblox is the most successful video game platform in the world that is most ignored.
