Roblox is making some potentially major changes that will limit what pre-teens can access and give parents more control over what their kids do on the platform.
The changes follow recent reports highlighting how Roblox has failed to protect children.
In July, for example, Bloomberg published a report about predators on the platform.
As part of the changes, users younger than 13 will have to get parent permission to access “certain chat features” while users that are younger than 9 will need their parents’ permission to play experiences that have a “moderate” content label.
Roblox is also adding a new type of account that will let parents manage their kids on the platform. With the new parent accounts, parents can link their account to their child’s so they can update parental controls and access insights about their child’s Roblox usage, such as daily screen time and their Roblox friends.
