Roblox, under scrutiny for child safety concerns, will require users to verify their age through a selfie or an ID. They'll only be allowed to chat with others in the same age group unless they confirm they know the other person.

A new series of age checks and chat groupings are coming to Roblox that are meant to keep children from falling prey to predators.

Gaming platform Roblox will require users to verify their age using facial recognition software to chat with other players, a company executive said, with the goal of limiting communication between kids and adults on the platform.
