Roblox changes policies on 'romantic and sexual content' and promises better moderation on the way as Louisiana AG repeats assertion that the platform 'is a breeding ground for sex predators'

Immediately following a lawsuit filed by the state of Louisiana alleging that Roblox "is overrun with harmful content and child predators," Roblox Corporation has updated its policies on "romantic and sexual content" to prohibit material that even just "implies" sexual activity. Roblox is also rolling out new restrictions on unrated experiences that will limit their access to the developers working on them, and says it will implement new technology that will "detect violative user behavior in otherwise policy-compliant experiences."

Roblox is also updating its policy to restrict access to "social hangout experiences depicting private spaces (such as bedrooms and bathrooms)" to users who have used Roblox's age verification system to confirm that they're at least 17. Settings intended for adults, such as virtual bars and clubs, will have the same restrictions, and any developers making such spaces will also have to be verified as 17 or older.
