Platform abuse, comprising content and user behavior violations, remains a key challenge for Roblox. That’s in part because the company cannot eliminate questionable content or remove bad actors from the platform. Oppenheimer believes the stock faces near-term risk as behavior violation escalates into an online movement against the company.

Amid the concerns, Roblox has taken steps to address safety concerns. It has already open-sourced its AI system, Roblox Sentinel, to make it more effective in detecting potential child endangerment. The system has already contributed to over 1,200 reports of possible child exploitation.

Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX) develops and operates the Roblox platform, a global co-experience platform that allows users to create, play, and share 3D experiences.
