Roblox is facing intense criticism after reportedly threatening legal action against a YouTuber who set out to expose child predators on the platform. The backlash comes amid other ongoing controversies, including the “clone games pandemic” we covered recently.
The creator, known as Schlep, is a 22-year-old vigilante figure in the Roblox community. He and his team have helped identify and assist in the arrest of multiple predators, tackling an issue that has plagued the game for years. Instead of working with Schlep, Roblox has banned his accounts and issued a cease-and-desist notice.
