Is Roblox safe for kids?
As with anything online, parents need to get up to speed with how to keep their kids safe, and the first thing to recognize is that Roblox is not an age-rated game; it’s an online social space.
You wouldn’t let your kids wander around in the real world unattended (I hope!) or without explaining how to be safe and aware of their surroundings – and the same applies here.
The onus is on you as a parent to keep your child safe online, whether it’s on social media, online games, or online social spaces.
That being said, Roblox isn’t the wild west. The devs have taken steps to ensure kids are as safe as possible, as detailed on the Roblox website.
There’s also a dedicated section for parents that breaks Roblox down into the basics.
Some of the tools Roblox uses to ensure user safety include avatar clothing detection, to ensure everyone is wearing “appropriate attire.”
Chat filters – which use a combo of software and human moderators – ensure any inappropriate content is blocked out.
