Man… Almost 2 months and still no revert? I get it’s a law requirement in the UK and all, but like did you really have to make it affect EVERYONE? I’m going to bed.

theyre such pain in the a because they fined reddit for adding it to UK gov exclusively too.
they want this to be global.
there is no reason to make this global other than for control.

55% still havent verified. 55% cant chat. at all. youve silenced over half the userbase and completely killed chatting.

you cant just wait and hope everyone suddenly verifies. thats not how this is going to work. were the ones waiting, for you to revert this for gods sake

They already tried FOMO tactics with the locked chat. (Which just bugged the hell out of people instead of making them want to verify. :joy:)
Sad truth is, they’ll likely lock account creation and gameplay behind ID theft verification.

roblox is a corporation, they won’t revert this update unless they exit the stock market and people quit

Okay then I’ll just stick with older phones then lol

I’d rather die then let this mass surveillance bs slide

All because people keep falling for the “think of the children” guilt tactic

Because it’s not about the children, it’s about control

This is to access certain apps, not for the entire phone, don’t hate the player (apple) hate the game (the governments)

These players are big enough to fight it, so if they really wanted to, they could fight it, but they chose not to!

if the game wasn’t using PolicyService in the first place, then the game was breaking ToS already and should have been moderated. Games that used PolicyService properly will be fine since this will just return an empty table for what websites the client is allowed to see.

We should still be allowed to share our non-social media online platforms like YouTube, Rumble, Steam, GitHub etc, in-game and not require an id-check at the game’s page.
I also want clearer language: Does this apply to all online platforms including social media, or social media only? Yes, there is a difference!
I also want to know, if we can just use a handle for that site instead of a URL?

It says you aren’t allowed to share specifically social media links, so I think you’ll be fine. :slight_smile:

Also, for the moderators who eventually see this, this is 100% satire.

4221

The field in PolicyService:GetPolicyInfoForPlayerAsync() is called “AllowedExternalLinkReferences”. So no, you cannot just assume that all links that aren’t “social media” would be allowed, since then you’d be able to put inappropriate content pretty easily. Roblox used to give us a list of specifically allowed URLs for specific players depending on their age and location. They now always return an empty list. It’s pretty simple.

4222

While I do understand the intentions behind the whole age group system, I feel like there were a million better ways to settle this. Like, you know, improving the moderation. I think this proves Roblox is more interested in adding new (not good) AI safety features than improving currently existing ones, like the chat moderation. If they would simply improve that to a reliable level, I feel like none of this would even be necessary

ROBLOX IS MAKING A FEE-FREE DONATION FEATURE TO GET FACE SCANS

Strings 
	["Features.Transfers.Action.Continue"] = "Continue",
	["Features.Transfers.Action.Ok"] = "OK",
	["Features.Transfers.Body.DailyLimitExceededError"] = "You have exceeded your daily limit for sending Robux. Check back in later to try again.",
	["Features.Transfers.Body.ExpiredTransferError"] = "Due to inactivity, the Robux sent from @username have expired.",
	["Features.Transfers.Body.GenericSentError"] = "Something went wrong and the Robux were not sent. Check your connection and try again.",
	["Features.Transfers.Body.MonthlyLimitExceededError"] = "You have exceeded your monthly limit for sending Robux. Check back in later to try again.",
	["Features.Transfers.Body.UnableSendRobuxError"] = "Your account is currently unable to send Robux.",
	["Features.Transfers.RobuxTransfer.Action.Edit"] = "Edit",
	["Features.Transfers.RobuxTransfer.Action.Next"] = "Next",
	["Features.Transfers.RobuxTransfer.Action.Send"] = "Send",
	["Features.Transfers.RobuxTransfer.Action.TryAgain"] = "Try again",
	["Features.Transfers.RobuxTransfer.Disclaimer.AgeEstimationTransfer"] = "To send Robux, take a selfie so we can check your age.  You only need to do this once.  Once confirmed, a transfer cannot be canceled.",
	["Features.Transfers.RobuxTransfer.Error.ReceiverNotAllowed"] = "@{userName} cannot receive Robux at the moment.",
	["Features.Transfers.RobuxTransfer.Heading.SendRobux"] = "Send Robux",
	["Features.Transfers.RobuxTransfer.Label.JoinedInYear"] = "Joined in {year}",
	["Features.Transfers.RobuxTransfer.Label.MutualConnection"] = "{amount} mutual Connections",
	["Features.Transfers.RobuxTransfer.Label.NewConnection"] = "New Connection",
	["Features.Transfers.RobuxTransfer.SentInstantNoFee"] = "Robux are sent instantly with no fees",
	["Features.Transfers.RobuxTransfers.Label.SuccessNotification"] = "You sent {amount} Robux",
	["Features.Transfers.Transfer.Block.RequireReceiverFAE"] = "Let's check your age so you can accept Robux",
	["Features.Transfers.Transfer.Block.RequireSenderFAE"] = "Let's check your age so you can send Robux.",
	["Features.Transfers.Transfer.Body.RequireFAE"] = "This makes sending and receiving Robux safe for you and everyone.",

They appear to be making a robux donation feature that requires FAE to send or receive robux. Notice how they mention no fees and instant transfer (no wait period)?
(These strings were found in InExperience.rbxm, which is the same file I found FOMOUpsell in.)
PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR THIS. FREE ROBUX IS NOT WORTH YOUR BIOMETRICS!
