Roblox found parents helping children bypass age checks using their own faces

Highlights

  • Roblox footage showed children handing phones to parents during facial age checks.
  • The company now monitors account behaviour to detect age mismatches after verification.
  • New Kids and Select account tiers restrict content and communication by age group.
Roblox has revealed that parents have been using their own faces to complete age checks on their children's accounts, inadvertently placing minors into adult user categories with fewer protections.
The disclosure came from Matt Kaufman, the platform's chief safety officer, who said internal validation tests caught the behaviour directly.
"You could see the kid in the background who handed the phone to their parent," he told The Guardian.

The gaming company, which reports 144 million daily users, is now rolling out age-specific account types called Roblox Kids and Roblox Select, the most significant structural change to its platform in years.

A user's estimated age will determine which version of the service they access, what content they can view, and who they can communicate with.
