Roblox users under 13 will no longer be able to direct-message others, ensuring better protection from inappropriate communications while still allowing gameplay that requires communication.
Dina Lamdany, senior product manager at Roblox, stated that interactive experiences necessitate communication but acknowledged the balance between safety and socializing for young users.
Roblox implemented these changes in response to content deemed inappropriate for younger users, to limit their exposure to risky interactions and content.
Despite moderation efforts, Roblox has faced scrutiny over the safety of its platform for young users, with allegations of predatory behavior and inappropriate content.
