Roblox has been slammed as a "hunting ground for child-sex predators" in a new lawsuit against the online gaming giant that alleges it caused the sexual exploitation of a 9-year-old boy.

A popular Roblox content creator alleged the platform has threatened to ban him for his involvement in exposing sexual predators on Roblox through Youtube videos.

A YouTuber who claims to hunt and expose predators in Roblox was banned earlier this month, and some parts of the community have not taken it well.
