Roblox boosts parental controls for under-13 users, including chat and gaming permissions, amid ongoing scrutiny and safety concerns.

Roblox is enhancing its parental controls to improve child safety on the platform, responding to concerns about exploitation. Starting in November, users under 13 will need parental permission for certain chat features, while those under 9 will require permission for games with moderate violence or crude humor. A new parent account system will allow guardians to monitor their child's activity. These measures come amid ongoing scrutiny and past safety issues.
