Roblox Introduces Enhanced Safety Features for Young Users

Roblox, a popular online gaming platform with around 70 million daily users worldwide, is implementing new safety measures for children under 13. The platform allows users to create and play games, with a large number of younger players among its user base. However, concerns have been raised about children being exposed to inappropriate content.

Starting from December 3rd, game creators will need to indicate if their games are suitable for under-13s. Games that do not comply will be blocked for players aged 12 and under. Additionally, from November 18th, children under 13 will no longer have access to “social hangouts” where they can chat with others using text and voice.

Roblox is also restricting the use of “free-form 2D user creation” to prevent the sharing of offensive or harmful content. The platform emphasizes the importance of creating a safe environment for users of all ages.

Roblox’s initiative comes after criticism and concerns raised by users and regulators. The company has pledged to continue enhancing its safety protocols and policies to protect its users. While the changes will be announced soon, full enforcement will not begin until 2025.
