Schlep

On August 9, 2025, a video titled "Roblox Is Threatening to Sue Me For Protecting Kids" was uploaded on Schlep's YouTube channel, where he explained that the Roblox Corporation had sent a cease-and-desist letter to him, as well as terminating all accounts associated with him and his group.[6][9] Chris Hansen reportedly contacted Michael to discuss an upcoming documentary about Roblox's handling of child safety.[3][10] The company's actions were met with major backlash from many online communities who viewed Schlep's actions as a necessary form of community policing. The situation escalated significantly days later and included calls for the CEO to resign and a petition by U.S. representative Ro Khanna.[6] On August 14, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill filed a child protection lawsuit against Roblox Corporation.[3] The suit alleged that by actively shutting down independent efforts to expose potential dangers on its platform, Roblox was failing in its duty to protect underage users from harm.[11] Roblox has since responded to the lawsuit.[12]
