Roblox Pays $12M for Child Safety Overhaul

Roblox has reached a significant agreement with the state of Nevada, committing over $12 million to bolster child safety measures on its popular gaming platform. This settlement, announced on Wednesday by Nevada's Attorney General Aaron Ford, aims to create a safer digital environment for young users. It includes $10 million designated for programs supporting youth activities and funding for an online safety awareness campaign.

The gaming giant will introduce enhanced protections for minors, such as requiring age verification for all users and limiting nighttime notifications. Furthermore, Roblox will implement facial age-estimation technology to restrict chats among younger users to those of similar ages or trusted friends. Children's accounts will be created for users under 16, blocking adult-rated content and offering vetted games, with expanded parental oversight now available for users up to age 16.
