Starting Tuesday, users can voluntarily undergo the age-check process to secure access to communication features.

Roblox will now require age checks for communications between users, with facial age estimation (FAE) as a biometric option.

Roblox will soon require that users go through an age estimation process if they want to be able to chat with other people on the platform. The requirement will be in effect for all users starting in early January.

Roblox said it is "disappointed" that it is being sued based on "misrepresentations and sensationalised claims".

Roblox has just been hit with another lawsuit over its child safety issues. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on social media on Thursday that the state was suing Roblox for "putting pixel pedophiles and profits over the safety of Texas children."

Texas AG Ken Paxton said the children have been “repeatedly exposed to sexually explicit content, exploitation and grooming” on the online game platform.
