Online gaming platform Roblox has given a court-enforceable undertaking to Australia’s online safety regulator to do more “to protect children from grooming, sexual exploitation and abuse”.
The agreement comes after the eSafety commissioner discovered adults were still able to see child accounts on Roblox, as well as sending requests to connect. This followed almost two years of back-and-forth between the eSafety commissioner and the game company over whether Roblox complies with industry standards for child safety.
