Roblox has plans to implement AI to guess user ages but the Australian Labour Government thinks more should be done to protect young people and that the current solution offered by Roblox is insufficient.

You might have noticed (or at least, I hope you noticed) that the site was down for an extended period of time (approx. two days?). There were a string of stories in the release queue when it went down, and after the site came back, all of those stories were pushed out at once. I will re-queue a number of those stories to be released again so that they won't be immediately buried off the front page and you'll have a chance to see and comment on them without having to scroll back significantly. So before you cry DUPE! and let slip the comments of war, you just might be seeing the original story in a new time slot.I'll shorten the time between releases until we're caught up.-- hubieRead more of this story at SoylentNews.
