Roblox enhances child safety in

As of July 12, 2025, an updated Article 37-2 of the Law 'On the Rights of the Child' has come into effect in Belarus, establishing parents', guardians', and custodians' obligation to protect children from harmful online information. The law requires explaining dangerous content to children, monitoring applications, websites, and online communication, as well as supervising the time spent online.

Roblox, one of the most popular gaming platforms among children and teenagers, strengthened its safety system in 2025–2026. Among the new features are strict age-based communication controls (children can primarily interact with peers or users of similar age), restrictions or blocking of interactions with adults, mandatory age verification for chat access (via selfie or document photo, which is deleted after verification), robust parental controls (customizing communication, visible content, purchases, and disabling chat), privacy settings and age restrictions on games and content, as well as 24/7 message and report moderation.

These measures can effectively protect children, but only with active parental involvement and regular review of settings. The law demands responsibility from adults, while Roblox provides convenient tools to fulfill it.
