Oct 20, 2025 10:13 AM

12:35 PM EDT, 10/20/2025 (MT Newswires) -- (Update with Roblox's ( RBLX ) response to a request for comment.)

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said Monday on his verified X account his office is issuing criminal subpoenas to Roblox ( RBLX ) .

"Roblox ( RBLX ) profited off of our kids, while exposing them to the most dangerous of harms," he said in a video announcing the subpoenas in the social media post. "They enabled our kids to be abused. Companies like Roblox ( RBLX ) have become breeding grounds for predators to get to and have access to our kids."

"We share Attorney General Uthmeier's commitment to keeping kids safe and we will continue to assist his office in their investigations," a Roblox ( RBLX ) spokesperson said via email. "We have a strong record of working with law enforcement and investing in advanced safety systems to help protect our users and remove bad actors.

The company said that to safeguard users, "we prohibit the sharing of images and videos in chat, use filters designed to block the exchange of personal information, and are working to implement age estimation for all users accessing chat features. While no system is perfect, our trained teams and automated tools continuously monitor communications to detect and remove harmful content. We are committed to leading the industry in safety and transparency," the company said.
