Roblox Hit With $10M Settlement Over Child Safety Failures. Roblox has agreed to pay $10 million and roll out major safety changes after reaching a settlement with the state of Nevada over concerns about protecting young users. Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford said the deal came as the state prepared legal action, alleging the platform lacked basic safeguards against predators and exploitation. Under the agreement, Roblox will fund children’s programs and launch a safety awareness campaign, while introducing stricter protections across the platform. These include mandatory age verification using ID and facial estimation, tighter parental controls, and limits on who users under 16 can chat with. Notably, encrypted chats for minors will be removed. Roblox says these updates will be applied nationwide by early June, alongside new age-based account systems designed to restrict content and interactions for younger users. The settlement comes as Roblox faces over 140 lawsuits accusing the company of enabling child exploitation—claims it strongly denies. Officials say this case could set a precedent for how platforms protect children moving forward.
