The Roblox-Schlep Meltdown 🔥
Schlep, a Texas YouTuber (ex-victim of Roblox grooming, now vigilante) exposed predators, got 1M subs, and even helped bust 6 creeps. But Roblox hit him with a ban + cease-and-desist on Aug 9, sparking a firestorm. Fans, YouTubers, and even politicians dragged Roblox, flooding the platform with #FreeSchlep chants.
Meanwhile, the legal heat is ON. Louisiana's AG sued Roblox, calling it "the perfect playground for predators," Florida's AG is digging too, and over 400 lawsuits tied to grooming/kidnapping cases are piling up. A California case even saw a 10-year-old abducted through Roblox + Discord.
Roblox clapped back, bragging about new "safety features" (selfie age checks, stricter filters, Sentinel AI, 24/7 mods), but no one's buying it. Chris Hansen is cooking a documentary, a 100k-signature petition wants CEO David Baszucki out, Roblox stock dipped 10%+, and countries like Qatar already banned it.
Bottom line: Roblox is in its biggest trust crisis ever, with predator cases skyrocketing from 675 in 2019 → 24,000+ in 2024. The drama's only getting messier. 🚨
