Entertainment Gaming News: Roblox Takes Action Against Sexual Content
Roblox Updates Policies on Sexual Content
Roblox is taking significant steps to update its policies that now prohibit any form of romantic or sexual content. In light of recent lawsuits, including one from Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, the platform aims to eliminate environments where child predators can thrive. The changes include the prohibition of content that implies sexual activity, protecting minors on the platform.
New Safety Measures
- Enhanced reporting tools for inappropriate behavior.
- Age estimator tools to verify users over 13 to access chat features.
- Blocking children under 13 from social hangout spaces.
Roblox stated that all unrated experiences will now be restricted only to developers and those actively working on them. Developers must complete a questionnaire to gain content maturity labels for public experiences.
Technology Advancements
Roblox is launching new technology designed to detect inappropriate scenes and user behavior violating policy guidelines. Social hangout spaces will now only be for users who are 17 and older, implementing stricter ID verification systems.
