Roblox Introduces New Safety Measures for Young Users

The platform will restrict access to certain features for users under 13, starting this month.

Roblox will block users under 13 from accessing 'social hangouts' and 'free-form 2D user creation' experiences beginning November 18.
From December 3, players under 13 will not be able to access or search for unrated experiences on the platform.
Creators must ensure their games meet Roblox's age-appropriate criteria to be accessible to younger users.
These changes come amid criticism for inadequate protections against harmful content and reports of child abuse on the platform.
Roblox plans to enforce these new requirements in 2025, aiming to strengthen safety measures for its young audience.
