The new system, combined with verified IDs and parental consent, "will provide a more accurate measure of a user's age" than what's available now.

Roblox is employing technology from Persona, a San Francisco identification verification company whose website says it can “Ensure that users are who they say they are.” However, Roblox will not use Persona to identify the actual identity of the user, just an estimate of their age, according to Roblox VP of Civility and Partnerships Tami Bhaumik.

Gaming platform Roblox announced a goal Wednesday to expand its new age estimation technology to all of its users by the end of the year. The move comes amid recent lawsuits filed against Roblox regarding its child safety regulations and accusations of grooming behavior experienced on the platform.
