Roblox announces new safety measures for estimating users' ages, addressing ongoing backlash over the app's inadequate child protection systems.

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.

Gaming platform Roblox announced a goal Wednesday to expand its new age estimation technology to all of its users by the end of the year. The move comes amid recent lawsuits filed against Roblox regarding its child safety regulations and accusations of grooming behavior experienced on the platform.
