Safety innovation at Roblox
Facial Age Estimation
Age checks help us place users into age-appropriate environments from the start, and help us ensure parents have the right visibility and controls for their children.
Facial Age Estimation is our fastest age check process. This technology uses live footage to reduce instances of false age checks. Images and videos used for Facial Age Estimation are deleted after they’ve been securely processed.
Advanced Game Moderation
All games on Roblox are consistently reviewed and moderated for anything that violates our Community Standards. We employ both human and machine intelligence to reduce instances of violations.
Multimodal moderation
Traditional AI moderation systems evaluate one object at a time and miss combinations that may result in harmful images or content. Our multimodal system captures contextual scenes or situations.
Early endangerment detection
Our open-source model, Roblox Sentinel, helps our human safety team prioritize Chats that require attention.
In-game reporting
Player reports are a crucial contribution to our work identifying potential policy violations early in games. To improve our assessment of these reports, we’ve made updates to our in-game reporting tool.
Chat filters and moderation
Chat is a part of what users love about Roblox. To maintain this feature while keeping communication as age-appropriate and safe as possible, we’ve implemented updates that help users avoid policy-violating interactions.
Our chat safety features are only present on Roblox. Keep your conversations on Roblox; do not move conversations with anyone to other websites, where protections may not be as strong.
Filters
Chat filters are in place to block policy-violating conversations, including the sharing of personal information.
Chat monitoring
All chats are monitored for critical harm, both in-game chats and direct chats. This includes our v3 open-source voice safety classifier model, which supports 22 new languages.
Chat rephrasing
To help conversations continue, our chat rephrasing feature automatically updates messages with profanity to more respectful language.
Chat summaries
To improve in-game experiences, our chat summaries allow users to see what others are saying, even if they fall outside of their age group. This allows for more engaged playtime without the risk of cross-generation communication.
Get more with digital safety & well-being resources
Our innovative features help create safer environments from the start. However, online environments are complex and ever-changing. Though we try to catch most bad actors, there may be some who break through. There are also ways to improve online well-being and digital best practices.
We recommend having open and ongoing conversations with your children about situations that might occur online and digital well-being practices.
