Roblox, Age and Child Safety
Digest more
Facing pressure from states and families, Roblox will require players to use AI-powered technology that helps verify their age.
Starting Tuesday, users can voluntarily undergo the age-check process to secure access to communication features.
The new safety measure comes as Roblox faces criticism and at least 35 lawsuits alleging users meet and abuse children on the gaming platform or that the platform helps facilitate child sexual exploitation and grooming.
If Roblox users want to chat on the online gaming platform, they’ll soon have to verify their age by providing a government ID or by letting an artificial intelligence age estimation tool photograph their face.
