Briefly

Roblox seeks to differentiate itself from social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube amid rising legislative efforts to protect children from online harms. The Senate is considering the bipartisan Kids Off Social Media Act, which would restrict social media access for children under 13. Unlike typical social media platforms, Roblox hosts a vast user base, with 42% under age 13, promoting technical and social skill learning. Company representatives have engaged with legislators to articulate how Roblox provides a safe, creative environment for kids, and to clarify its position on potential regulations.
