Roblox intends to implement age estimation technology for all users by the end of 2025, requiring age confirmation to access communication features. This policy builds on an earlier rollout that restricted chat features for users under 13. The platform will also introduce systems to limit communication between adults and minors who do not know each other offline. Age can be verified through a selfie analysis or by submitting identification. Roblox has faced criticism and lawsuits regarding its protection of younger users, prompting a broader rollout of child safety measures last year. These measures included limiting interactive features for those under 13 and providing parents with more control. Age verification is emerging as a common strategy for online child protection, with states like Utah and Mississippi enacting related laws. However, these measures have faced legal challenges and raised concerns about data privacy and platform responsibility. The tech sector and privacy advocates have expressed differing viewpoints on the implementation and impact of these age verification requirements.
