AG Tong announced the State of Connecticut has opened an investigation into online gaming and chat platform Roblox following widespread reports of child exploitation and harm.

“Roblox built an online pedophile playground. Our investigation seeks to uncover exactly what the company knew about widespread child exploitation on its platform, how they have profited, and what they have or have not done to protect our kids online. We are done waiting for half measures from Big Tech and Washington. We’ve already sued Meta, we’re investigating TikTok, and now we’re investigating Roblox. We’re going to continue to use the full weight of our law enforcement authority to hold these companies accountable and protect our kids online.” -AG Tong
