What started as an attempt to silence a YouTuber who was exposing and catching predators turned into a full-blown corporate crisis—a perfect example of the "Streisand Effect."We break down the entire timeline of events, from Roblox sending a shocking cease and desist letter to the YouTuber "Schlepp," to the massive community backlash that followed. The situation escalated rapidly, drawing in U.S. congressmen, the Attorney General of Louisiana, and even Chris Hansen from "To Catch a Predator," who has come out of retirement to investigate. This public firestorm culminated in Roblox losing over $12 BILLION in market capitalization in a single day.Join us as we explore the years of warnings from media and safety groups, the damning report from Hindenburg Research, and the shocking details of how Roblox's own executive team has failed to protect the millions of children on their platform.
