Roblox, one of the most popular online platforms among children, has announced new safety measures to better protect younger users on the platform. To access chat features, players will now need to complete facial age verification, making Roblox one of the first large gaming platforms to introduce this system for users of all ages. The new approach enables age-based chat, helping ensure more age-appropriate interactions and limiting communication between adults and children under 16. (Roblox)
