Judge?s order slaps Roblox player with permanent game ban

The final judgment is far less than the $1.6 million Roblox Corporation originally sought.The suit says that Simon "repeatedly posts libelous statements about Roblox’s founder and CEO, attributing false statements and conduct to the CEO that Defendant Simon knows to be false and which he makes with intent to cause injury to the reputation of the CEO and of Roblox." This, among many other allegations, might have been explored further with screenshots or archived social media posts had the suit gone to trial, though in the end, both parties agreed to the terms of the US District Court's judgment.In the case of some allegations, Roblox Corporation's lawsuit includes extensive chat logs that were hosted by Simon's YouTube channel as proof of his history with ban evasion and violations of Roblox's terms of service. The original lawsuit sought the total deletion of Simon's social media accounts and presence, but the final court order includes no such demand.As a stipulated order agreed upon by both parties, this lawsuit's conclusion does not establish a legal precedent for users who violate an online service's terms of service, get banned, and evade that ban in one way or another to return to the game or app in question.You must login or create an account to comment.Join the Ars Orbital Transmission mailing list to get weekly updates delivered to your inbox.
