Canada federal government concerned about children’s safety in Roblox
The Canadian federal government has expressed serious concerns about child safety on Roblox, citing a December 2025 Public Safety Canada (PSC) brief obtained by The Logic through an access to information request. The brief, prepared by the Canada Centre—which leads the government’s anti-radicalization efforts—details concerns about violent extremists, white nationalists, and pedophiles using the platform to target and recruit children.
The report highlights risks related to self-harm content, child sexual abuse, and exploitation on the platform. This latest government concern represents the continuation of years-long investigations into allegations of mass child abuse on Roblox, which has faced mounting scrutiny from regulators and advocacy groups over its moderation practices and safety mechanisms.
The Canadian government’s involvement signals growing governmental pressure on the platform to implement stronger safeguards and content moderation systems to protect minors from exploitation and radicalization.
