On October 8, 2024, Hindenburg Research ("Hindenburg") published a report that Roblox was both inflating its metrics and failing to protect child safety. It apparently was conflating "people" with "daily active users" ("DAUs"), the latter of which can often represent bots or alternate accounts – therefore inflating the number of actual human individuals using the platform.

Hindenburg says that Roblox basically had two sets of books – one counting single users and one counting DAUs, the latter of which was reported to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Hindenburg also alleged that the company was inflating engagement hours in its reports and was ignoring widespread sexual grooming and adult content. As an example, the Hindenburg reports states that it found a group called "Adult Studios" that had more than 3,000 members openly trading child pornography and soliciting sexual acts from minors.

Roblox shares fell as much as 9% after Hindenburg released the report.
