Roblox introduces age-based accounts for child safety.

Roblox is implementing new age-based accounts to enhance child safety amid regulatory pressure, introducing "Roblox Kids" for users aged five to eight and "Roblox Select" for ages nine to 15. The platform will use facial age-estimation technology to restrict content and communication, requiring parental verification and developer ID checks. This update follows scrutiny over the platform's handling of child safety and comes as the company faces legal action.
