Parents allowed to block children’s games and friends on Roblox
Parents will be able to block their children from specific games and experiences on Roblox as part of new safety measures announced by the hugely popular gaming platform.
They will also be able to block or report their children’s friends, and the platform will provide more information about which games young users are playing.
The measures will only apply to children who are under the age of 13 and have parental controls set up on their accounts.
The announcements comes after the CEO of Roblox, Dave Baszucki told the BBC that parents should keep their children off the platform if they were “not comfortable” with it.
Roblox – the most popular site in the UK for gamers aged eight to 12 – has been dogged by claims that some children are being exposed to explicit or harmful content through its games.
