Roblox is launching an 'age estimation' feature requiring video selfies for users aged 13 and older. This allows access to the new 'trusted connections' chat feature without filters. The company partners with Persona for age estimation, enabling users who fail the check to submit IDs. Parents can monitor their children’s connections with parental controls, ensuring interactions only with known contacts. Roblox highlights the need for verified access to create appropriate digital spaces, responding to increasing pressure for age verification on social platforms.
