Louisiana sues Roblox alleging the popular gaming site fails to protect children
Louisiana sued the online gaming platform Roblox on Thursday, alleging the wildly popular site has perpetuated an environment where sexual predators "thrive, unite, hunt and victimize kids.' The lawsuit, filed in state court by Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, alleges that Roblox has failed to implement effective safety measures to protect child users from adult predators. 'Due to Roblox's lack of safety protocols, it endangers the safety of the children of Louisiana,' Murrill said in a news release. 'Roblox is overrun with harmful content and child predators because it prioritizes user growth, revenue, and profits over child safety." The company has faced lawsuits and backlash for not doing enough to protect kids on its gaming services. Last month, a lawsuit was filed in Iowa after a 13-year-old girl was allegedly introduced to an adult predator on the platform, then kidnapped and trafficked across multiple states and raped. In Louisiana, Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard said his office has had multiple cases involving Roblox. In one, police allege a man used voice-altering technology to pose as a girl on the platform. Ard said there have yet to be any arrests made related to the gaming site. Ultimately, Murrill said she believes Roblox should be shut down. An email seeking comment was sent to the company Thursday. The free online gaming platform has more than 111 million monthly users. Its website describes Roblox as "the ultimate virtual universe that lets you create, share experiences with friends, and be anything you can imagine.' Roblox doesn't allow users to share videos or images in chats and tries to block any personal information, such as phone numbers. However, as with other gaming platforms and social media sites with similar policies, people find ways around such safeguards. Roblox, which according to its website has 'a zero-tolerance policy for the exploitation of minors,' doesn't allow children under 13 to chat with other users outside of games unless they have explicit parental permission. Because the platform does not encrypt private chat conversations, the company can monitor and moderate them. However, Murrill said there is no age minimum or substantial age verification process once a user signs up. As a result, young children, teens and adults posing as children can sign up, she said. The company says on its website that age verification "is a new feature that is currently in testing on Roblox.' Last month, it launched a feature that requires teenagers aged 13 to 17 to send a video selfie to verify their ages if they want to chat freely with people they know, called 'trusted connections.' Amid mounting criticism in recent months, the company has implemented additional measures that it says will keep their young users safe. In August, Roblox told AP that it was rolling out an artificial intelligence system to help detect early signs of possible child endangerment, such as sexually exploitive language. Roblox said the system led it to submit 1,200 reports of potential attempts at child exploitation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in the first half of 2025.

Pam Bondi threatens prosecution for leaders not complying with immigration officers
Pam Bondi, the attorney general, said Thursday she has sent 'sanctuary city' letters to the mayors of 32 cities and a handful of county executives, warning that she intends to prosecute political leaders who are not in her view sufficiently supportive of immigration enforcement. 'You better be abiding by our federal policies and with our federal law enforcement, because if you're not, we're going to come after you,' she said, speaking to a Fox News reporter. 'Our leaders have to support our law enforcement.' Bondi's letter asks the recipients to provide a response by 19 August that 'confirms your commitment with complying with federal law and identifies the immediate initiatives you are taking to eliminate laws, policies and practices that impede federal immigration enforcement'. Bondi cites an executive order issued by Donald Trump on 28 April which called for the attorney general to identify jurisdictions that 'obstruct the enforcement of Federal immigration laws' then to 'notify each sanctuary jurisdiction regarding its defiance of Federal immigration law enforcement and any potential violations of Federal criminal law' as a precursor to prosecution or withholding grants. Each of the recipients appears to have received a near-identical letter, none of which specify what local laws or practices fail to comply with Bondi's assertions. Initial responses from state and local governments receiving the letters include a mix of incredulity and defiance. 'Nothing in Attorney General Bondi's letter is new and none of it has legal merit,' said Barbara Pierce, director of communications for the city of Rochester, New York. 'The letter reiterates many of the frivolous arguments that the federal government has already made in its pending suit against the City of Rochester. These same arguments were levied against the City of Chicago and were dismissed by the Federal District court for the Eastern District of Illinois nearly a month ago. We look forward to the opportunity to respond to Attorney General Bondi's letter, and continue to underscore the inaccuracies of the federal government's position.' Bruce Harrell, the Seattle mayor, said the letter's portrayal of his city and its laws was untruthful. 'Immigration enforcement is the exclusive responsibility of the federal government. The City neither interferes with nor carries out those federal duties,' he said. 'We have received and are reviewing the latest letter from Attorney General Bondi and strongly disagree with its assertions. Our laws and policies protect the safety, privacy and constitutional rights of all Seattle residents while remaining compliant with applicable law. We remain committed to our local values, including being a welcoming city for all. We will continue to defend our residents and our rights – and we will not hesitate to do so in court.' The office of Eric Adams, the New York City mayor, a Trump ally and embattled re-election candidate, offered a less strident immediate response. 'The job of a mayor is to protect the safety of every single person in their city – and that's exactly what Mayor Adams has worked to do every day for nearly four years,' said Kayla Altus, Adams' press secretary. 'Keeping New Yorkers safe also means making sure they feel safe, and Mayor Adams has been clear: no one should be afraid to dial 911, send their kids to school, or go to the hospital, and no New Yorker should feel forced to hide in the shadows. 'That's why the mayor supports the essence of the local laws put in place by the city council, but he has also urged the council to reexamine them to ensure we can effectively work with the federal government to keep violent criminals off our streets.' The letters follow the publication of a revised 'sanctuary jurisdiction' list on 5 August . The Department of Homeland Security withdrew a previous list after an outcry from rural sheriff's offices and conservative jurisdictions that argued the list was created without input from sheriffs and 'violated the core principles of trust, cooperation, and partnership with fellow law enforcement'.

Mogul who backed Boston's woke Dem mayor outraged after she erected BIKE LANE outside his mansion
A construction mogul who was once an ardent supporter of Boston's woke mayor has turned against her after the city built a bike lane right outside his mansion. Jay Cashman, 72, poured millions into Mayor Michelle Wu's election in 2021, but became outraged when the new two-lane bike path was erected outside his $19 million mansion on Dartmouth Street last year, according to the Boston Globe. It was just part of Wu's plans to build an an elaborate cycling network around the city, as she doubled the number of dedicated bike lanes in Boston since she took office to 15 miles. Her administration had identified Dartmouth Street 'as a bike corridor project' because it provides direct access to the Charles River Esplanade, which city officials called a 'daily destination for residents, commuters and visitors alike.' But Cashman has argued that these new bike lanes were hastily built and ignored critics' concerns, which ranged from safety risks, loss of parking spaces, more congested street traffic and slower response times for emergency vehicles. 'I'm for bike lanes, but I'm for bike lanes that basically are safe,' he told the Globe as he cycled through the city himself. The mogul is now using his wealth and resources to fight the mayor's plans to expand the bike network even further. He founded an advocacy group called Pedal Safe Boston and is convening neighborhood groups and meeting with lawmakers about legislative fixes to create bike lane standards. The millionaire has also spent a whopping $100,000 to evaluate whether a statewide ballot measure to regulate bike lanes would be a more effective way to make city streets safer. He is even backing a plan for city officials to consider removing or altering the bike lanes Wu's administration created and set new rules for them moving forward. Until then, Cashman argues, any construction on new bike lanes should be paused. The proposal is being backed by Democrat mayoral challenger Josh Kraft - the son of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. 'We really need to take the time to study how they impact business and figure out where to put them,' he explained to Bloomberg. Kraft has seized on the issue of Wu's bike lane rollout as an example of how the mayor does not listen to criticism and is out of touch with the business community. Advertisements and text messages from a super PAC endorsing Kraft have called the bike lanes a 'disaster' and proof that Wu's plans 'only make things worse' for the city. The messaging seems to resonate with at least some voters, as a February poll from Emerson College found nearly half of all registered Boston voters think the city has too many bike lanes. Another 35 percent said they believed the city has enough bike lanes and just 17 percent said there were too few. But cycling enthusiasts are wary of Cashman's motives. Someone even set up a website with his organization's name, describing it as a 'scam.' They say creating more bike lanes makes cyclists safer and are frustrated that Cashman has not worked with them to come up with a solution. 'I would just wish that Pedal Safe Boston would engage in the conversations already taking place as opposed to throwing stones from the outside,' said Galen Mook, executive director of MassBike - a nonprofit that advocates for improving bike infrastructure. 'There's a little bit of privilege with the Pedal Safe Boston team because they have influence and money,' he continued. 'They haven't actually gone through the literal decades' worth of work of how the city has been putting down bike lanes.' The Wu administration has also defended the bike lanes she put up and is continuing to advocate for even more bike lanes, with nearly two miles planned in Cashman's neighborhood in the next few years. She claims the bike lanes make roads safer, pointing to city data showing that crashes have declined by 51 percent on streets where bikers and drivers are separated by posts or other barriers. Advocates also argue that bike lanes can boost store traffic as cyclists take breaks. At a business forum in June, Wu likened the city's new bike lanes to a family rearranging furniture. 'Once you move it around, it's always going to feel very weird because you are so used to how it was before,' she said. 'Sometimes, you need to live in it a little bit to see if that actually works.' City officials have also noted that they held more than 50 public meetings on roadway projects last year, and amid the criticism, the Wu administration has taken down some flex posts - plastic bollards that act more as a visual cue than a physical barrier to protect bikers. David Wean, a member of the Boston Cyclists Union, also acknowledged that there are some issues - like when a lane abruptly ends and bikers are forced into the middle of car traffic. Still, he argues that much of the new infrastructure has made the streets safer as he railed against Cashman's plans for a pause. 'Insisting on absolutely complete, rigorous data is just a way of stalling it,' Wean said. Business owners, though, seem to be taking Cashman and Kraft's side in the debate. Meg Mainzer-Cohen, the president and executive director of the Back Bay Association, for example, claims the once business-friendly neighborhood has become a hazard for storefronts and delivery trucks. Bike lanes 'basically drove a stake into the functionality of the whole neighborhood.' In the Brighton neighborhood, business owner Richie Singh said he also saw his revenue decline 40 percent year-over-year after the bike lanes went up late last year. Some of his best customers were slapped with $100 parking tickets for blocking bike lanes. Worst of all, he said, he only sees two or three cyclists utilizing the new lane each day.
