  • Nebraska AG Mike Hilgers has sued Roblox Corporation, alleging the company violated the Nebraska Consumer Protection Act and Nebraska Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act by misleading parents and children about the platform’s safety for minors.
  • The complaint alleges Roblox falsely marketed itself as a safe, child-friendly platform while allowing contact between minors and predators and failing to implement basic safeguards, with the AG’s office arguing the company prioritized engagement and profits over stronger protections like age verification and human moderation.
  • The state seeks injunctive relief, restitution or disgorgement, civil penalties, actual and punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs.
  • As we have previously reported, Nebraska’s lawsuit follows a raft of other AG enforcement actions targeting alleged harms to minors on major platforms, including actions involving Snapchat, TikTok, and an AI-driven chatbot platform.
