That age verification, for those 13 to 17, will unlock a feature called "Trusted Connections" that allows for less filtered text or voice chat.

Roblox devs have revealed how their AI-based voice chat moderation is easily overpowered by human-based mods live in-game.

The popular gaming platform is adding 'Trust Connections' that will lift some of its communication filtering for the age group.
