Roblox Now Insists Kids Prove They're Not Kids Before Playing
KEY POINTS
- •Roblox plans to require age verification for games intended for users nine years and older starting soon.
- •This change introduces Roblox Kids and Roblox Select accounts, which offer various protections tailored to different ages.
- •The platform faces multiple state lawsuits claiming inadequate child safety measures, prompting stricter content lockdowns.
Roblox, the gaming platform where millions of kids confuse Parental Supervision with 'Let’s chat with strangers,' is about to make a grand gesture toward safety by requiring users nine and up to jump through an age verification hoop. This dazzling policy debut coincides with the rollout of Roblox Kids and Roblox Select accounts, thoughtfully designed to separate toddlers from the not-so-toddlers with different protection levels. Meanwhile, lawsuits from Louisiana, Texas, and mysterious 'Another State' have been festively raining down like confetti, all accusing Roblox of child safety blunders. Apparently, locking down 'sexual content' didn’t happen overnight—this effort to curb chaos is a slow dance with the legal system. Who knew digital playgrounds came with real-world stumbling blocks?
