The platform’s new tiered system introduces Connections and Trusted Connections specifically for people that players know and trust. To access Trusted Connections and its benefits, users first need to complete an age verification, which requires them to submit a video selfie. Once they’ve submitted their video, the company says it’s run against an AI-driven “diverse dataset” to get an age estimation. If their parents are unable to do so for any reason, kids won’t be able to use Trusted Connections. With Trusted Connections, Roblox removes filters—which includes inappropriate language and personally identifiable information—on party voice and text chats for users 13 and up.
