Roblox is implementing a new feature called 'Trusted Connections' that allows users to communicate more freely. To access this feature, users must prove they are over the age of 13 using a new age estimation tool. This tool requires users to submit a video selfie, which will be analyzed to estimate their age. If the tool cannot confirm a user’s age, they will lose access to the feature. Users who are over 13 but cannot pass the tool can use ID verification or future parental consent to confirm their age.
Roblox is introducing a way to let trusted friends chat more freely among themselves, but it will require that they use a new age estimation tool to verify that they're over 13.
The new age estimator tool prompts users to take a video selfie, which is analyzed against a large and diverse dataset to estimate their age.
If the system is not able to estimate the user's age with high confidence, then the user's age will remain unconfirmed and the user won't be able to access Trusted Connections.
Roblox partnered with identity verification company Persona on the age estimation technology, which is integrated into the Roblox app with additional UI and logic that has been customized by Roblox.
