Roblox's chief safety officer has responded to concerns about the game's ongoing implementation of age check requirements, noting that "we understand it's unpopular," but "the cost of not acting is greater than the friction of acting."
In the last few months, Roblox rolled out age checks for players who wanted to access its chat function, with users asked to go through a facial age estimation process using their device's camera. What's more, earlier this month, it was announced that age verification is being rolled out further – as well as introducing Kids and Select accounts for children aged 5-8 and 9-15, respectively, new publishing requirements will place fresh restrictions on anyone wanting to publish content on the game platform.
