Age verification and ID-based measures are increasingly implemented by tech companies like Apple and Google despite risks like information breaches

Roblox, under scrutiny for child safety concerns, will require users to verify their age through a selfie or an ID. They'll only be allowed to chat with others in the same age group unless they confirm they know the other person.

Roblox is now requiring selfies, verified either with a government ID or through an AI review, to use its chat functions.

Roblox is starting to roll out the mandatory age checks that will require all of its users to submit an ID or scan their face in order to access the platform's chat features.
