Australia's online safety regulator eSafety found that Roblox continues to expose children under 16 to contact from adult strangers despite implementing some new safety measures. The platform remains under investigation for alleged non-compliance with Australia's Online Safety Act, as testing revealed ongoing failures to prevent adult-child interactions on the platform.
Background
Australia's eSafety Commissioner has been actively enforcing the Online Safety Act 2021, requiring digital platforms to implement robust protections for minors. Roblox, with over 70 million daily active users and a predominantly young audience, has faced repeated scrutiny over its safety features.
