Roblox Cracks Down on Safety
Popular online gaming platform Roblox has taken a significant step towards ensuring the safety of its young users. The company has announced that it will be banning kids under the age of 13 from accessing social hangout zones within the platform.
The decision comes as a response to growing concerns over the potential risks of online interactions between children and strangers. Roblox, which boasts over 100 million monthly active users, has been under scrutiny in recent years due to reports of grooming, harassment, and other forms of exploitation. By restricting access to social areas, the company aims to reduce the risk of such incidents occurring.
