Roblox Rolls Out Safety Features Including Age Test
Roblox operates one of the largest video game platforms on the planet.
Photographer: Gabby Jones/BloombergRoblox Corp. is adding new safety features, including an age-estimation tool that relies on video selfies, in an effort to better protect its kid-heavy user base.
The gaming platform is changing the name of its in-game communications system from “Friends” to “Connections,” to better reflect how users interact. The company is also introducing a new tier, called Trusted Connections that allows people to communicate via text chat and voice calls without the built-in filters that censor certain words and phrases.
