Australia asks for meeting with Roblox after grooming, content complaints| India News

Published by Parlour News

SYDNEY, – The Australian government has called a meeting with gaming platform Roblox over reports of child grooming and exposure to graphic content on the platform, while a regulator said it will test whether the U.S.-listed firm had delivered on child-safety commitments. Australia asks for meeting with Roblox after grooming, content complaints Communications Minister Anika Wells said she wrote to Roblox to express “grave concern” about reports that children were being approached by predators and exposed to harmful material. “The reports we’ve been hearing about children being exposed to graphic content on Roblox and predators actively using the platform to groom young people are horrendous,” Wells said in a statement. “Australian parents and children expect more from Roblox.” A Roblox spokesperson said the company had robust safety policies and processes to help protect users that go beyond many other platforms, and that it would meet Wells to discuss the steps it takes to keep the community safe. “We have filters designed to block the sharing of personal information, our chat features don’t allow user-to-user image …

Roblox will soon require that users go through an age estimation process if they want to be able to chat with other people on the platform. The requirement will be in effect for all users starting in early January. Beginning in the first week of December, Roblox will require users in some markets, including Australia, the Netherlands, and New Zealand, to go through the age estimation process to be able to chat with others. In early January, the requirement will expand to other countries where you’re able to use Roblox’s chat. After going through the age estimation process, Roblox will assign users into groups: Under 9, 9–12, 13–15, 16–17, 18–20, and 21 plus. Users will only be able to talk to users in their same group “and similar age groups as appropriate,” Roblox VP Rajiv Bhatia said in a briefing. In its newsroom post, Roblox gives a couple examples of how these groups work and who they let people chat with: Elisa (estimated age 12): Elisa has access to chat with users aged 15 or …

Texas sues Roblox for allegedly failing to protect children on its platform

Texas sues Roblox for allegedly failing to protect children on its platform

Published by Webster

Texas AG Ken Paxton is accusing Roblox of “putting pixel pedophiles and profits over the safety of Texas children,” alleging in a lawsuit filed this week that it is “flagrantly ignoring state and federal online safety laws while deceiving parents about the dangers of its platform.” The lawsuit accuses Roblox of deceptive trade practices for misleading parents and users about its safety features, and for creating a common nuisance by harboring a space “that has become a habitual destination for child predators engaging in grooming and child sexual exploitation.” The lawsuit’s examples focus on instances of children who have been abused by predators they met via Roblox, and the activities of groups like 764 which have used online platforms to identify and blackmail victims into sexually explicit acts or self harm. According to the suit, Roblox’s parental controls push only began after a number of lawsuits, and a report released last fall by the short seller Hindenburg that said its “in-game research revealed an X-rated pedophile hellscape, exposing children to grooming, pornography, violent content and …

Roblox creators will be able to sell merch in-game

Roblox creators will be able to sell merch in-game

Published by Webster

Roblox is going to let creators sell physical items from their games. The company has been testing its tools to do so since last year, but today, it’s announcing that it’s opening up its Commerce APIs to eligible Roblox creators. Shopify is the first “integrated partner” for the APIs, and if a creator or brand is a Shopify merchant, they can start selling physical goods inside their experiences. You can see how it works in a video from Roblox. In one experience’s “premium shop,” there’s a merch section where you can browse things like hoodies or T-shirts. Click on the one you’re interested in and a page will pop up with additional details about the item and begin the checkout process. Fenty Beauty is one brand that is already offering stuff to buy through an in-Roblox experience, including a shade of lip gloss that’s exclusively only in that experience. Hopefully experiences that incorporate shopping are more interesting than my dreary time at Metaverse Fashion Week. Roblox is also launching an initiative that works the other …

Roblox will restrict kids under 13 from chatting outside of games

Roblox will restrict kids under 13 from chatting outside of games

Published by Webster

Roblox is starting to roll out some recently-announced child safety features, and the updates include some new limitations for how users under 13 can communicate on the platform. Beginning Monday, users younger than 13 won’t be able to DM players outside of games or experiences on Roblox. And they’ll need parental permission to be able to send in-game DMs — though this change won’t be fully implemented across the platform until the first quarter of 2025. The changes follow recent reports highlighting instances of Roblox failing to protect children. A big article from Bloomberg described how predators on the platform use chat to communicate with kids. And a report from Hindenburg Research described Roblox as “an X-rated pedophile hellscape.” These new restrictions on chat will build on Roblox’s automatic chat filters intended to block users from sharing personal information. In addition to the changes to chat, Roblox is rolling out its previously-announced accounts for parents and caregivers that will let them remotely manage things like a child’s screen time limits. Previously, parents had to have …

Roblox is banning kids from ‘social hangout’ spaces

Roblox is banning kids from ‘social hangout’ spaces

Published by Webster

Roblox is going to block kids from accessing certain types of experiences following reports alleging that the platform has enabled child abuse. One new measure will stop kids under 13 from accessing experiences with “certain types of interactive features,” Roblox says in a post on its developer forum. Those include “social hangouts,” where the primary purpose is to communicate with others over text or voice chat, and “free-form 2D user creation” experiences, where players can do things like draw on a chalkboard or whiteboard. This change goes into effect beginning November 18th. Another change stops kids under 13 from playing, searching for, or being able to discover unrated experiences. This change goes into effect after December 3rd. If a creator wants to let a player under 13 access their game, they will have to complete a questionnaire and make sure that all of the information regarding their experience meets Roblox’s requirements for its current All Ages or 9 plus ratings. Roblox says it will start enforcing those requirements “next year.” There have been multiple recent …
