Lawfirm aims to protect Roblox whistleblowers while Roblox faces lawsuits and a documentary about its child safety issues
After news broke out about Roblox threatening to sue a prominent user that hunted down predators inside Roblox, the whole issue became more widespread, and now, lawfirms and even government attorney generals are getting involved in the situation, with both instances showing support for Schlep and his endevours to stop predators in Roblox.
Two days ago, Congressman Ro Khanna issued a video to gather signatures for a petition to take action and push Roblox to enforce better security for children on their platform. After that, Schlep's case caught even more attention, to the point where crime journalist and host of the "To Catch A Predator" TV series, Chris Hansen, has reached out to Schlep to start a new documentary, focusing on Roblox and their endangerment of children online when using their game.
Adding up to the situation, Louisiana's Department of Justice Attorney General Liz Murril released a statement on her X profile, making it publicly known that she has filed a lawsuit against Roblox due to their lack of safety protocols on their game, endangering children that play on their platform.
But it's not over yet.
Stinar Gould Grieco & Hensley, PLLC (SGGH), a lawfirm that specializes in high-profile litigation against big corporations, and Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman, PLLC, a lawfirm that focuses on leading class-action and whistleblower protection in cases involving corporate accountability and consumer protection, are stepping in and will defend Schlep over the cease and desist letter that he got last week from Roblox, with the lawfirms claiming that this specific behaviour by Roblox towards Schlep "suggests a company more concerned with suppressing criticism than addressing the predator problem on their platform.”
Lawfirms statement said:
Without a doubt, Roblox got themselves into a cesspool of criticism and dubious actions, with their effort being more towards keeping their investors and income secure, rather than bringing that security to their userbase and children that day by day play on their platform.
The situation is still on-going, and with how big the case is getting, it's likely that this won't be the final statements we hear from Roblox and actions taken against its lack of action against this pressing issue at hand.
