In response to a series of lawsuits claiming that the platform endangers children, Roblox has announced a robust new safety standard requiring users to verify their age through facial recognition technology and selfie submissions. Starting in January, minors will be blocked from chatting with adult strangers as the platform seeks to enhance its child protection policies. This initiative follows recent allegations against Roblox, prompting the CEO to address concerns about safety on the app. The measures aim to create a safer environment for younger users by introducing AI-driven age estimation to restrict communication features, setting a precedent for online gaming platforms.
