Roblox says it's expanding its use of age-estimation technology and entering a partnership with the IARC to standardize its game ratings.

Roblox is expanding its age-estimation technology to all users and adopting IARC-standardised ratings for games, providing parents with clearer guidance and strengthening protections for minors.

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.
