Overview

• Players can now submit short video selfies for AI-driven age estimation via Persona, augmenting existing ID upload options.
• The platform replaces its ‘friends’ list with ‘Connections’ and adds a ‘Trusted Connections’ tier that only age-verified users can join.
• In Trusted Connections, unfiltered party voice and text chats are available and remain under Roblox’s monitoring for critical harms.
• Minors must prove real-life ties with adult users through QR code scans or by uploading contact lists before establishing a Trusted Connection.
• These changes follow over two years of safety enhancements driven by parental criticisms, a lawsuit and watchdog reports.
