Roblox reaffirms commitment to ‘safe, positive digital experiences’ for users

Roblox (RBLX), in recognition of Safer Internet Day, reaffirmed its goal to promote safe, positive digital experiences for users of all ages by introducing a new Youth Guide to Community Standards and announcing a new partnership with the Mental Health Coalition. Alongside these efforts, Roblox said it remains committed to going beyond industry standards to support civil, age-appropriate communication on the platform by requiring age checks to access chat, which has shown strong early engagement from users. “Every day, we strive to provide a safe, positive, and civil experience to our community of 144 million daily users worldwide,”1 said Matt Kaufman, Roblox’s Chief Safety Officer. “Our work never ends, and this Safer Internet Day, we are continuing to double down on our commitment to a holistic approach to online safety that combines effective and collaborative technology, clear guidance for families, and close collaboration with experts, policymakers, law enforcement, and mental health organizations.” Roblox introduced a new Youth Guide to Community Standards, which is a resource specifically designed to resonate with younger creators and users. Roblox is teaming up with the Mental Health Coalition to develop resources and support for users and parents related to civility, mental health, and well-being in gaming.
