Roblox Corp. reported an increase in child exploitation incidents during 2023, with over 13,000 cases flagged to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), a significant rise from 3,000 the previous year.
The platform’s broad reach, serving around 77 million daily players — including 40% under the age of 13 — has brought its safety measures into focus.

In dialogue with Benzinga, Roblox’s Communications Team shared a statement addressing concerns about its safety practices.
“A recent article contained glaring mischaracterizations about how we protect users of all ages on the platform and failed to reflect both the complexities of online child safety and the realities of the overwhelmingly positive experiences that tens of millions of people of all ages have on Roblox every single day,” the spokesperson said.
Roblox also stressed the reported incidents must be understood in the context of the platform’s enormous content volume.
“Bloomberg fails to provide context on the scale of these reported incidents vis-a-vis the amount of content on the platform and growing user base of 77 million daily active users. In a single quarter, Roblox users generated and uploaded approximately 205 billion total pieces of content,” the spokesperson added.
Furthermore, the company’s contribution to the NCMEC's total report count is less than 0.04% of the 36.2 million reports received by the center that year for suspected child sexual abuse material.
Increased Reports and High-Profile Cases
The accessibility of Roblox across various platforms, including PlayStation, PC and mobile devices, has made it a popular environment for children but has also exposed it to potential threats.
Bloomberg reported that despite Roblox's response to 1,300 law enforcement requests for information on predatory players, some individuals managed to evade detection. A high-profile case involved Arnold “DoctorRofatnik” Castillo, who operated the successful game Sonic Eclipse Online.
Castillo was apprehended after attempting to meet a 15-year-old girl 700 miles away, leading to a 15-year prison sentence for grooming and sexual abuse.
Roblox's Safety Measures And Future Plans
Roblox has reiterated its commitment to safety, with Chief Safety Officer Matt Kaufman detailing ongoing efforts to enhance platform security.
“To be the best in the world at delivering safe and civil online experiences, this is essential,” Kaufman said. He highlighted that only 0.0063% of content on Roblox was flagged for policy violations, including bullying and hate speech.
The company is actively working on the next generation of safety tools and features to address evolving threats. “We will continue to work tirelessly to keep our users safe and be vigilant against bad actors who might attempt to circumvent our safety systems,” Kaufman affirmed in a blog post.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / July 24, 2024 / If you suffered a loss on your Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX) investment and want to learn about a potential recovery under the federal securities laws, follow the link below for more information:

or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or call (212) 363-7500 to speak to our team of experienced shareholder advocates.
THE LAWSUIT: A class action securities lawsuit was filed against Roblox Corporation that seeks to recover losses of shareholders who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud between November 15, 2023 and May 8, 2024.
CASE DETAILS: According to the complaint, on February 7, 2024, Roblox - the publisher of the Minecraft video game - issued its FY 2024 fiscal guidance. It was the first time Roblox issued a fiscal guidance to investors. Then, on May 9, 2023, Roblox hosted its quarterly earnings call and slashed its guidance for FY 2024. Management blamed changes in player engagement for the guidance reduction. Analysts expressed dismay at the rapidly reduced guidance, with one analyst noting Roblox made the cut "at one of its first real opportunities to do so." Other analysts reported the reduced guidance "may raise concerns regarding management's visibility into core bookings growth" and the Company "will be burdened by a management credibility issue over the near term." Following the earnings call, RBLX shares fell $8.61, or 22% overnight.

DEFENDANTS’ ALLEGED MISCONDUCTIn November 2023, Roblox provided investors with material information concerning the company's expected revenue for the first quarter of 2024 and fiscal year 2024. This was the first time Roblox offered earnings and revenue guidance to its investors since the company went public in 2021. Roblox's statements included, among other things, that Roblox expected $4.14 billion to $4.28 billion of "bookings" in fiscal year 2024—reflecting 25%-27% annual growth—and $3.3 billion to $3.4 billion annual revenue.
Then on February 7, 2024, during an earnings call, Roblox reiterated its first quarter 2024 and fiscal year 2024 earnings projections as well as its strength in its new technology and digital economy.
On May 9, 2024, Roblox reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2024 and provided updated guidance. Among other things, Roblox advised that the company expects bookings revenue of $870 million to $900 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to analyst expectations of $929 million, and bookings revenue of $4 billion to $4.1 billion for the full year, significantly lower than the Roblox's earlier forecast of $4.14 billion to $4.28 billion.
On this news, Roblox's stock price fell $8.61 per share, or 22.06%, to close at $30.42 per share on May 9, 2024.
