Roblox Rolls Out Age-Verification Requirement for Chat
Digest more
Gaming platform Roblox is implementing age verification on platform's chat feature and the enforcement will began in select markets including Australia, New Zealand, and the Netherlands. Here's your step-by-step guide to complete age verification.
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 CEO David Baszucki joined CNN’s Pamela Brown to discuss new safety measures to protect young users, including AI-age verification technology. The announcement comes after a growing number of lawsuits that say the platform allegedly failed to deter sexual predators from targeting minors on the popular gaming platform.
The changes come amid multiple lawsuits to claim the popular game has allowed sexual predators to connect with and abuse children.
