Australia secures court-enforceable child safety undertaking from Roblox

Australia’s internet regulator secured a court-enforceable undertaking from ​Roblox to improve protections against ​grooming and sexual exploitation, after tests found adult ​strangers could still contact children despite safety measures introduced by the world’s biggest gaming platform.

The agreement marks an incremental win for the eSafety Commissioner as ‌it seeks ⁠to use ⁠its enforcement powers to make online platforms comply with Australia’s sweeping child-safety rules, ​including a landmark ban on social media for children under 16.
