Four months on: is Roblox any safer?
In April 2025 Revealing Reality carried out an investigation into Roblox due to serious concerns of what children were experiencing within the game (link HERE). In September they carried out a follow-up investigation to see what, if anything had changed.
In short, quite a lot has changed, such as:
- Adjustments to content maturity ratings.
- ID verification for certain games and experiences.
- Stricter moderation
- Enhanced parental controls.
These are good but, according to Revealing Reality, they don't go far enough. There are still workarounds and very significant concerns. It's worth having a read of the full report which you can find HERE.
