TechRoblox commits to privacy overhaul after regulator finds adults can contact children

Australia’s eSafety commissioner found that adults could still view children’s accounts and send connection requests without parental consent, while children and adults could interact on forums outside games. Roblox has agreed to strengthen children’s privacy settings, block unsolicited adult contact and undergo a third-party audit, with three months to make the changes.
