Roblox — Child safety and privacy enforcement action (eSafety Commissioner)

No Australian class action has been filed yet, but the eSafety Commissioner has secured a court-enforceable undertaking from Roblox over failures to protect children from grooming and harmful content, and external audits are underway. Families of Australian children who were contacted by adults or exposed to explicit content on Roblox should monitor this matter — regulator findings could support future compensation claims.
