Schlep ban controversy (9 agos 2025 año – 1 h 6 m, 4 oct 2025 año)

Descripción:

On August 9, 2025, Schlep, a Roblox-focused YouTuber known for conducting sting operations against sexual predators, was permanently banned from Roblox due to his violations of terms of service. Roblox Corporation sent him a cease and desist letter, threatening to take legal action against him if he resumed his activities. The ban gained traction with the media and generated controversy in the Roblox community, with increased criticism towards Roblox's child safety policies. U.S. Congressman Ro Khanna contacted Schlep and created a petition, with a goal of 1 million signatures that urged Roblox to "do more" to protect children.

On August 15, Schlep announced his intentions to countersue Roblox and that he had hired lawyers to fight its accusations. Roblox made a statement, justifying the ban. It claimed that vigilante groups moved users off-site to participate in sexual conversations and that they normalized such behavior on the platform. The controversy has led attorney general Liz Murrill of Louisiana to file a lawsuit against Roblox over child safety concerns.
