Summary
Roblox is overhauling its safety protocols with a massive launch of new features aimed at protecting its youngest players. Moving away from the honor system, the platform is deploying AI-powered facial scans and age estimation to verify user identity. These changes include disabling chat entirely for children under nine, while users aged nine to sixteen will be restricted to chatting only with verified peers or trusted friends. We explore these new technical standards, the enhanced parental tracking tools for monitoring screen time and friend lists, and why Roblox's Vice President of Safety Product Policy, Eliza Jacobs, hopes this "gold standard" approach will encourage other platforms to abandon simple text-based age checks.
