Roblox announced new safety measures, including an AI-powered age-verification system, to address concerns about platform safety for young users. Despite these efforts, experts believe the changes may not adequately prevent exploitation of minors by older individuals. The platform's design allows kids significant freedom, leading to challenges in moderation. Recent reports indicate a growing concern over safety, with allegations that the platform harbors problematic communities. Legal action is looming, as multiple law firms are preparing lawsuits on behalf of affected clients.
Roblox's latest safety measures were intended to make it harder for older people to contact younger ones thanks to what the company calls Trusted Connections, but experts remain unsure they'll completely protect minors.
The company, which made nearly $1 billion in revenue last quarter, has faced allegations for years that its platform is a haven for not only pedophiles but also fascists and nihilist groups.
