Roblox cracks down on its user-created content following multiple child safety lawsuits

Roblox, the popular gaming platform, has implemented a series of policy changes to address concerns over child safety following multiple lawsuits. The company has restricted all unrated user-generated experiences to developers or those actively working with them, and has limited "social hangout" experiences depicting private spaces or adult-only places to users 17 and older who have been ID-verified. Roblox has also introduced a new tool to automatically detect and take down experiences that violate the new rules. These changes come in response to lawsuits alleging that Roblox does not provide a safe environment for its underage users. Roblox has stated that it works to block any exploitative behavior and constantly enhances its moderation approaches, though it acknowledges that no system is perfect and that bad actors may still find ways to evade detection.
