Roblox shares tumble as forecast cut signals safety measures weighing on user growth

Published by Sam Flores

May 1 : Roblox shares on Friday plunged to their lowest levels in 18 months after the company cut its annual bookings forecast, raising concerns that new safety measures could suppress user growth for several quarters. The videogame platform warned of “continued short-term friction” from new product changes, including age-based accounts, age verification and expanded content monitoring, which have restricted communication and slowed user acquisition. The company now expects full-year bookings of $7.33 billion-$7.6 billion, down from the $8.28 billion-$8.55 billion it forecast earlier. Net bookings are generated from in-game purchases of Roblox’s virtual currency “Robux”. “The magnitude of the guide cut suggests limited visibility, which makes it hard for us to gain confidence that the forecast is conservative,” analysts at Jefferies said. Roblox shares were down 19 per cent at $45.07 with the company set to lose more than $7 billion from its market valuation of $39.55 billion if losses hold. The stock has fallen about 32 per cent this year after seeing a 40 per cent gain last year. The platform is coming …

The company will pay Alabama $12.2 million, state Attorney General Steve Marshall said, calling the settlement a victory for children and their parents. “Platforms that host child consumers must do their part to give parents a fighting chance to shield their children from harm,” he said in a statement. “While parents will always play the primary role in protecting their children online, we are raising the bar on what we expect from gaming platforms—parents need a partner, not a black box.” The settlement funds will be used to finance school resource officers across the state. The news comes as Roblox, a social gaming platform with more than 151 million users, finds itself embroiled in legal hot water over alleged child safety issues in its user-made games, including sexual predators who prey on children, and sexually explicit or …

Roblox Gaming Platform Reaches Million Settlement With Nevada Enhancing Youth Protections

Roblox Gaming Platform Reaches $12 Million Settlement With Nevada Enhancing Youth Protections

Published by Sam Flores

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Roblox, a gaming platform popular with kids, will implement increased protections for young users and pay more than $12 million to the state of Nevada in what state Attorney General Aaron Ford on Wednesday called a first-of-its-kind agreement. “This settlement will create a safer environment for our children online, and I hope that it will serve as a bellwether for how online interactive platforms allow our state’s youth to use their products,” the Democratic attorney general said Wednesday. Roblox, which is used by nearly half U.S. children under 16, will give $10 million over three years to support programs like the Boys & Girls Club and other nondigital activities, Ford said. It will also fund a law enforcement liaison position to respond to safety concerns about the platform and fund an online safety awareness campaign, Ford said. The settlement, which was agreed upon in lieu of litigation, includes enhanced protections for minors who use the app, such as requiring age verification for all users and restricting nighttime notifications for minors.

Roblox Will Roll Out Age-Based Accounts Amid Child-Safety Push

Roblox Will Roll Out Age-Based Accounts Amid Child-Safety Push

Published by skeptic

Evolving global regulations aimed at limiting child access to harmful content, as well as incidents and lawsuits related to youth safety online, have prompted Roblox to revise how it handles accounts for minors and verifies users’ ages. Starting in early June, the popular online game platform plans to group its younger users into two new account types: “Roblox Kids” for those ages 5 to 8, and “Roblox Select” for those ages 9 to 15. Everyone else ages 16 and older will be in an age group called “Roblox.”  The company said that Kids and Select accounts will have distinct background treatments across the Roblox apps to make it clear which account type is being used. Accounts will be assigned to age groups as determined by the platform’s global age-check technology or by a verified parent.  Roblox’s CEO and founder, David Baszucki, detailed the changes in a blog post on Monday, including restrictions for each account type and the parental control options that will soon be available on Roblox.  “When it comes to safety, we do the right thing, including …

Roblox launches real-time AI chat rephrasing to filter out banned language

Roblox launches real-time AI chat rephrasing to filter out banned language

Published by skeptic

Roblox is introducing a real-time, AI-powered chat rephrasing feature that automatically replaces banned words with more respectful language, the company announced on Thursday. The new feature goes beyond Roblox’s current text filter, which simply replaces banned words and phrases with the “#” symbol. But Roblox says that when users encounter strings of “####,” conversations can be disrupted and hard to follow. Now, instead of simply displaying hash marks, filtered text will be rephrased into more respectful language that is close to the user’s original intent. For example, a message that reads “Hurry TF up!” would previously have appeared as “####,” but will now be rephrased to “Hurry up!” Everyone in the chat is notified that the message has been rephrased to keep the conversation civil, Roblox says. “Chat is central to how people connect, coordinate, and play on Roblox,” said Rajiv Bhatia, Vice President of User and Discovery Product at Roblox, in a press release. “Real-time rephrasing helps keep gameplay and conversations on track while guiding language toward what’s appropriate. This approach reduces friction in …
