Roblox announced that it aims to roll out age estimation technology to all of its users by the end of 2025. Users on the gaming and social network will have to confirm their age in order to access communication features within the platform under the new policy.

The American company announced it will "expand age estimation to all Roblox users who access our on-platform communication features by the end of this year", according to a blog post by its head of safety, Matt Kaufman. This follows multiple allegations that it failed to protect its young user base.

The new system, combined with verified IDs and parental consent, "will provide a more accurate measure of a user's age" than what's available now.
