Cinemark lawsuit

"Sexual Predators"
In 2017, Roblox was criticized by mainstream media because some children had been exposed to "sickening" messages from online daters, which the mainstream media called "sexual predators". The first case was a mother of a 6-year-old who found "threatening" messages, most relating to online dating. (Full story) Most of these cases are the result of trolling, and it is unknown what Roblox does to prevent this directly.

Political Ban in UAE
On May 17th, 2018, the UAE's attorney general ordered Roblox to be banned entirely in the United Arab Emirates, claiming that Roblox was damaging children's health, then the FBI intervened to investigate the content of other websites and apps. Other countrywide bans can occur by petitions, and activists.

Nintendo Copyright Removals
In early 2018, the popular Roblox game "Pokemon Brick Bronze" was Content Deleted for an unknown reason. Many people on YouTube, Twitter, Discord, and the Pokemon Brick Bronze group were complaining about the game being deleted and came to the conclusion Nintendo copyright striked the game. Shortly after lando64000 made a short tweet on Twitter explaining that the game was taken down by Nintendo for copyright. People soon started to complain about the Robux they lost due to the game being deleted. Lando did give a refund for Robux that was spent on the game from the last 30 days. On YouTube, a new hoax was being spread saying "Pokemon Brick Bronze is back!" Shortly after this incident happened, Roblox started making the controversial "copyrighted audio ban" update. On August 6, 2018, multiple Pokemon games were taken down including Pokemon Fighters X and Project: Pokemon. Futhermore on August 14, 2018, several Mario games, such as Paper Mario RP, Super Mario Showcase, and Italian Plumber Simulator, were taken down also. It is certain that more games using Nintendo properties will be removed in the future, as Nintendo has an infamous history of shutting down Nintendo-related fan projects in the past.
