Roblox now requires all users globally to complete age checks to access chat | TechCrunch
"To complete the age-check process, users have to open the Roblox app, allow access to their camera, and follow a series of on-screen instructions for facial verification. Once the age check is processed, Roblox says it will delete any images or videos of users. The verification is being processed by a third-party vendor, Persona, which also deletes images and videos after completing the process, Roblox says."

Age checks are optional for general use but mandatory for communication features. Incorrect age estimates can be appealed via ID verification or parental controls. Completed age checks unlock age-based chat segmented into six adjacent-access groups.
