Roblox Rolls Out Age-Verification Requirement for Chat
Digest more
Facing pressure from states and families, Roblox will require players to use AI-powered technology that helps verify their age.
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.
Roblox will soon require facial age verification for all chat features, enforcing age-based communication groups and introducing major safety upgrades to protect younger users globally.
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.
