US Senate to investigate Roblox following claims it "prioritises revenue and engagement" over child safety Roblox says its "built on the foundation of safety" and looks forward to "sharing the facts about how we work to protect children on the platform" The US Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism has launched an investigation into Roblox, saying the platform "appears to prioritise revenue and engagement metrics" over child safety. In a letter to Roblox CEO David Baszucki (via Kotaku), Senators Josh Hawley and Dick Durbin said the "alleged criminal activity on Roblox warrants congressional scrutiny." "You trumpet Roblox as a safe digital playground for children as young as five," the senators wrote. "But the public record raises serious questions about this promise of safety." In a statement to PC Gamer, Roblox chief safety officer Matt Kaufman said the platform is "built on the foundation of safety." "We do not compromise on that commitment. The committee also noted that Roblox reported over 65,000 suspected child exploitation cases to the National Centre for Missing & Exploited Children in 2025, more than double the number in 2024.
