How Roblox Is Fighting to Protect Its Young Users
Roblox, a social and gaming platform popular among children, has been taking steps to improve its child safety features in response to growing concerns about online abuse and exploitation. The company has recently formed a new non-profit organization with other major players like Discord, OpenAI, and Google to develop AI tools that can detect and report child sexual abuse material. Roblox is also introducing stricter age limits on certain types of interactions and experiences, as well as restricting access to chat functions for users under 13.
