Abstract
Another study suggests that rubles lacks the protection of children, which gives access to the content of adults.
Researchers found that children can enter the “rollplay” rooms.
Adults and children can also discuss public text chat.
Once again, Roblox is on fire, as another research concludes that he is not working enough to protect its underage consumers. In this study, researchers set up accounts with their ages that are less than five, and they were able to access adult content and talk to adult consumers.
This study has come from the agency RevealWho shared with research Benefactor. Here, they say that there are not enough restrictions to protect children, because access to text chat means that adults are still eligible to hunt young consumers.
Another study in Roblox shows that children can access the content of adults
The research writes that “Our research has confirmed that a registered account as a 42 -year -old child can include our accounts under 5 years of age and privately interacting with accounts of 13 years and above.”
He added that an account established for a ten -year -old child can freely access “rollplay” rooms that were sexually bothered, using avatars to imitate sexual activities with other players.
The research states that “this Roblox experience was not hidden in any unclear corner.” “Children can interact with the Roblox platform exactly. Virtual Night Club and Hotel Environment – called ‘Boys and Girls Club Roll Play’ – I have severe sex pressure and are accessible to all children.”
In another example, the accounts that were listed under the age of 13 were able to access a hangout server that they should not have been able to do. Here, his adult account was able to ask for a child’s Snapchat username without moderation.
Overall, while Roblox has taken steps to protect its smaller users, such as preventing access to sound chat and direct messages to under 13s, there are still many works. That is, children and adults can still talk to each other in the public text chat, making it possible for them to arrange privately on other apps, using coded language. It seems that adult -based sports are not being promoted, which contains some sexual interactions that are not clear to anyone who enters the game.
Expired, researchers make the following claim:
Adults and children are free to communicate with any meaningful age verification
Accessable environment to accounts under 9 years of age
Safety measures that can be avoided by easy tasks
Private (or relatively Private private) conversation is normalized among strangers of all ages
Content rating systems that fail to correct the nature of experiments accurately
Possibly hunter behavior opportunities through private spaces and off -platform communication
UK politicians and Bean Kadran, who runs the Internet safety campaign, commented on The Guardian on research. “Such a user’s research should be normal for a product like rubles,” he added that it represents “systematic failure to protect children”.
In response to the investigation, the chief safety officer of Roblox Matt Kafman says “confidence and safety are the main focus of everything.” They continue: “We permanently develop our policies, technologies and moderation efforts to protect our community, especially young people. It involves investing in modern safety tools, working with experts, and empowering parents and careers with strong control and resources.
“Only in 2024, we added more than 40 new safety, and we are more committed to making Roblox a safe and urban space for everyone.”
