By Elena Rostova
The recurring rumor that Roblox is disappearing reveals deep underlying anxiety surrounding child safety in virtual worlds.

As federal online safety regulations advance through Congress and state houses, the battle over Roblox will center not on whether it exists, but on how fundamentally it must change to stay online.
