A lawsuit filed by the state of Louisiana accuses Roblox of failing to protect minors from explicit and games and online predators. The lawsuit also gave examples of Escape to Epstein Island and Diddy Party games. Both the games were accused of containing disturbing content.
Roblox Responds: 'We're not going anywhere'
As reported by PCGamesN, Roblox Corporation has reassured users that the platform is not shutting down. The company is also posting continuous updates and is also engaging with its community. The company has also dismissed the shutdown claims and said that it is part of a recurring hoax.
Roblox's official X account previously stated: 'Let's set things straight: Roblox isn't 'shutting down.' The same hoax (with a few details changed) goes around every year or two. Remember: don't believe everything y'all read on the internet!
As of now, Roblox remains fully functional. But the platform's future may depend on how it addresses growing concerns around content moderation, child safety, and regulatory compliance.

Kavita Krishnamurthy names Sridevi as her favourite actors to sing for; shares experience working with Shabana Azmi
Kavita Krishnamurti, renowned for iconic songs like "Hawa Hawai," shares her admiration for actors Shabana Azmi and Sridevi. She recalls being humbled singing for Shabana and an unforgettable experience with Sridevi. Kavita also recounts a funny rehearsal story involving the lyrics 'Chi Hua Hua… Honolulu,' later changed to 'Mombasa.' Kavita Krishnamurthy, known for lending her voice to legendary Hindi film songs such as "Hawa Hawai" from 'Mr. India', "Nimbooda" from 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam', "Bole Chudiyan" from 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham', and "Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast" from 'Mohra', remains one of Bollywood's most revered playback singers. In a recent interview, she shared her admiration for the actors she has sung for, revealing that early in her career, she felt deeply humbled singing for Shabana Azmi , with some listeners even mistaking her voice for that of the actress herself. Impressive singing for Shabana Azmi Speaking to News18, the singer said that she was completely impressed when she first sang for Shabana Azmi. In 'Mile Sur Mera Tumhara', she sang just one line and it sounded exactly like Shabana's voice—so much so that people would think Shabana was singing it herself. Later, when she sang for her in 'Saaz' and 'In Custody', the way Shabana moved her lips made it feel like the song truly belonged to her. Unforgettable experience singing for Sridevi She also opened up about singing for Sridevi, describing the experience as unforgettable. She said that when she first went to Lakshmikant's house to learn the song, she didn't even know it was hers because, due to the scale, she thought it must be for Asha. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gleiten Sie in Ihre finanzielle Zukunft eToro Click Here Undo However, when she was told it was for Sridevi and that her voice would remain, she couldn't believe it. Hilarious anecdote from rehearsals Kavita Krishnamurti also shared a hilarious anecdote from the rehearsals. She described the rehearsal as hilarious, picturing Boney Kapoor , Javed Akhtar , Lakshmikant and Pyarelal all sitting in the drawing room while she sat with her notebook. Lakshmikant told her to write down the lyrics, so she wrote: Chi Hua Hua. Honolulu. She kept looking at Javed, wondering if those were really his words. That evening at home, she drove her mother mad by repeating 'Chi Hua Hua… Honolulu…' at the dinner table and even before bed. Her mother thought she had lost it. Finally, in the studio the next day, Javed walked in and said that he had found the last word for the song. Late last night, it came to him that it should end with 'Mombasa'.
