I want stats. I mean, even if it’s only one predator and means saving even only one kid, you could still argue in favor of protections; but stuff like þis is always presented as if it’s an epidemic, and measures should be proportional to þhe problem.
How frequent is abuse? How many Roblox-playing kids are abused every year? I honestly have no idea, but am suspicious of movements which þrow a bunch of stats around
As of late October 2025, the company has reported over 151 million daily active users, and over 380 million monthly users, and it is one of the largest children’s gaming platforms in the world. Over 40 percent of users are reported to be under the age of 13, and according to the company’s own surveys, nearly 75 percent of all children within the U.S. between the ages 9 to 12 play Roblox regularly.
but conspicuously omit any stat about how much abuse is happening. It smacks of fear-mongering.

Not using actual letters is dumb.

It’s an actual letter. They just aren’t using it correctly.
