CEO Dave Baszucki says the company does try to detect and block harmful content, but argues that parents should be the ones calling the shots. When asked what his message is to parents who don’t want their children on the platform, Mr Baszucki said: “My first message would be, if you’re not comfortable, don’t let your kids be on Roblox.”

Parents worried about their kids’ safety when playing Roblox have been advised not to let their children play by the boss of the hit game. Roblox is one of the most popular games in the world but has faced criticism for player safety, with allegations that children have been exposed to explicit and harmful content, bullying, and grooming.

Roblox has many different "reputations" depending on who you talk to, and the company's CEO has addressed one part of them.
