Roblox enhances parental controls to improve kids' gaming safety

Roblox has introduced new parental controls that allow parents to manage their child's gaming experience remotely. Parents can now set playtime limits, restrict private messaging, and select content maturity levels using their own devices. A default setting will limit users under 13 to sending only broadcast messages, with direct messaging requiring parental approval. Parents must create their own Roblox accounts to access these features and link them to their child's account. These updates follow criticism from Common Sense Media regarding inappropriate content on the platform. Roblox stated it employs human moderators and AI tools to enforce content standards and ensure a safe gaming environment.
