"This settlement will create a safer environment for our children online, and I hope that it will serve as a bellwether for how online interactive platforms allow our state's youth to use their products."
"Roblox has agreed to give $10 million over three years to local children's support programs like the Boys and Girls Club and other nondigital groups while spending another $2.5 million to fund a law enforcement liaison position and awareness campaigns regarding online safety."
"Users under 16 will not be allowed to message adults unless they have been designated as a 'trusted friend,' which can be assigned via QR code."
"The company says it will also create children's accounts for anyone under 16 that will restrict access to adult content and provide a list of games that have been vetted to be appropriate for younger players."
Roblox reached a $12 million settlement with Nevada to avoid trial amid ongoing legal issues. The settlement includes a commitment of $10 million over three years to local children's programs and $2.5 million for a law enforcement liaison and safety campaigns. Roblox will implement stricter safety measures, including an age verification system and restrictions on messaging between minors and adults. Parental controls will be expanded for users under 16, and new account types will be created to ensure age-appropriate content access.
