Glonghui, November 19 | The video game manufacturer roblox announced on Monday that it is implementing new safety measures for users under 13 years old, including the permanent removal of the ability to send messages to others outside of games on its platform. The game platform reported last quarter that it has approximately 89 million users, and the latest measures will allow parents and guardians to remotely manage their children's roblox accounts, view friend lists, set spending controls, and manage screen time. Additionally, roblox will replace age-based content labels with descriptors such as 'minimal' to 'restricted'. By default, users under 9 years old can only access games labeled as 'minimal' or 'moderate'. roblox is facing allegations of 'child abuse'. In August, Turkey blocked access to roblox by court order as prosecutors investigated concerns about user-generated content potentially leading to abuse.
