On Rubensim, who is a Roblox youtuber. His content primarly focused on researching the corporation behind the scenes and their moderation. Prior to the events, Ruben exposed a Roblox Staff for having NSFW content on his social media accounts that were publicly seen in which Ruben criticised it for being bad for the platform. Soon after that news, Ruben was banned by the admin. Even more prior, Ruben had been also interviewing young developers who were exploited by other larger developers. On the 23rd of November 2021, Ruben was sued by the Roblox corporation.

Lawsuit
Roblox on 23 November 2021, Roblox corporation issued a lawsuit against Ruben worth 1.6 million USD. This lawsuit claims that Ruben was responsible for "Terrorist threats that temporarily shut down a developer conference in October 2021" and for apparently leading a "Cybermob". They claimed the evidence Ruben had was fabricated.

Ruben attempted to counter this claim by planning to release a series of youtube videos documenting his findings and deconstructing the lawsuit pointing out the flaws. Ruben did upload the first part of the documentary which documented his case on the Roblox staff member, the lawsuit and exploited developers and was about to continue the series until...

Resolution
On 16th of January 2022, both parties had reached agreement and would not be pursuing the case into court. Ruben however has to pay thousands for legal fees, but even more severe is that he is banned from accessing Roblox and making content of it. Roblox has been criticised for suing Rubensim who was rightfully calling out the bad behaviours on the platform whether they were on it or not, instead of suing or punishing those who were abusing it. Some theorised this lawsuit was enacted due to the Youtuber's content that is potentially detrimental to the corporation image.
