Mississippi Holds Roblox Accountable

Mississippi’s Attorney General Lynn Fitch just forced Roblox into a major safety overhaul after years of failing to protect kids online. The deal mandates age-appropriate content, blocked adult chats, no late-night pings, and parental controls over who kids talk to, how long they play, what games they access, and how they spend Robux. Ads and notifications won’t be personalized without parental consent, and Roblox will ramp up detection of grooming and predatory behavior—while keeping chats unencrypted to aid law enforcement. A new Mississippi-based law enforcement liaison will work with the state’s child exploitation task force, and $9 million will fund digital literacy programs, with a $5 million penalty ensuring compliance. This isn’t just about rules—it’s about putting kids’ safety above profits and holding tech giants accountable. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
