Roblox Battle: Parents Exploit Age Checks, Kids Play as Adults
Roblox enforces age limits, but parents help children bypass the system, forcing the gaming company to recheck accounts for underage users.
Roblox, the popular gaming platform, has found itself in a tug-of-war with parents who are helping their children bypass the company's age verification system. In a move to enhance safety, Roblox introduced new features in December that required users to pass a facial age assurance check before accessing the platform's chat function.
However, the gaming company has now revealed that some parents are actively assisting their children in circumventing these age checks, allowing them to play as adults on the platform. This has forced Roblox to implement additional measures, including rechecking accounts that appear younger than their stated age.
