I hope Roblox will be careful about this update

Thatâs sick, but will it only be proximity?
Also, couldnât exploiters get around proximity chat?
I have my speculations, but Iâm happy for this feature.
Iâve still yet to receive an invite when people not even having devforum* membership are getting invited. What gives?

I imagine exploiters getting ahold of this feature will be quite rare, seeing as they need to verify their ID on all of their accounts. Even then, itâs still remotely easy to mute someone if theyâre being annoying, all you need to do is click the microphone above their head and itâll mute them locally.

Considering bot moderation, Iâd say it wouldnât be pretty hard to fool an AI checking ids. Let me write a program to do just what Roblox has in mind and see how well it does against animated cartoon ones first. I already have in mind the result but I want a confirmation of how itâll go for the forerunning of the ID requirement.
If itâs a person reviewing, All it would take is one exploiter managing to find someone that forges documents and now Roblox has a brand new issue thatâs even hard for the US government to combat.
Either way, This system will be broken pretty quick by v3rmillion or another exploiting community.

I agree with pierce here, I donât give anyone out any information unless theyâre my bank or an official government website I spend an hour verifying via various methods as I am paranoid for my privacy. Google has no records of my name and neither do people lookup sites as I donât give out my information like an idiot.
Roblox is most certainly not getting me to put in my drivers license, with my picture and address, into any part of their website and risk it getting breached. Itâs been shown that support supposedly has access to credit card details before, Whatâs stopping hackers/unauthorized users from leaking that info elsewhere or Roblox themselves selling it to 3rd parties without permission.
Youâre welcome to freely give away your information, but thatâs a bad idea unless youâve got a fake ID and youâre risking your account at that point.

If youâre not going to verify your identity or use the functionality provided by doing so, then just donât use it. Why do you have to be so loud about not using a feature? Whatâs stopping your bank or official government website from being hacked? If hackers want to hack, theyâre gonna hack.
You must be missing out on half the convenience of the internet. Do you own any type of game console? Do you have a cellphone? Iâd hate to break it to you but your information is already out there. It doesnât have to be your doing it could be the doing of your legal guardian. Sure now that you may be of legal age and have control over your information doesnât stop what could have already been leaked. All you can do at that point is prevent that data from being updated.
Though, still not sure why you have to be so loud about not using a feature. Or is it because you also donât want others to use the feature?

You are the one who does not want the others to use it if you already say it. He wouldnât care if he found voice chat superfluous anyway, but at least I think itâs cool and want to use it but I donât feel like giving any unnecessary information about me for no purpose! This thread does not have to be littered with any meaningless answers but with the real criticism.
It is not pointless to protect your identity, on the contrary, it makes sense! And where are we supposed to be wrong? Everything he and I have said is the truth, isnât it? If we want to use the function, we still want to be a pseudonym! Why should our dream of spatial voice in Roblox be destroyed for some stupid pointless reason?

Youâre literally reiterating the fact that you find the point that you need to verify your identity stupid. Itâs truly okay to find it stupid and to think it is stupid. The same way you can also be more quiet about finding it stupid. Whatâs stopping you from keeping this idea to yourself?
To you itâs stupid. However to the United States of America where Roblox is currently based, the law is most definitely not stupid. The identity verification is there so that Roblox remains in compliance. When comparing that compliance with your convenience, youâll lose 100% of the time. Youâre currently being selfish. Why does Roblox have to make themselves vulnerable to its own regulations to appease your convenience? That would be putting Roblox at risk, that risk could potentially affect millions of players on the platform.
Just because you donât understand something, doesnât mean the idea itself is stupid. Just that your lack of understanding is.

There is a very clear purpose as to why roblox asks for verification, theyâre not allowed to record under 13 year olds if they want to comply to COPPA, read Complying with COPPA: Frequently Asked Questions | Federal Trade Commission , at number 3.
EDIT: Going on from your other post, in Germany you do have the option of creating a national id from any age. German ID Card for Applicants under 16 years of age - Federal Foreign Office

How can I trust the ID verification, You guys clearly said it is gonna be by an AI, Roblox has already a history of unreliable moderation bots, How do I know when I upload my ID it isnt just gonna say itâs fake due to an error and terminate my account?

Look I think voice chat is an amazing feature but I do have some issues
-
Nothings stopping anyone from abusing voice chat, and we all know reporting people rarely does anything
-
Why the ID? Like I get for safety but what about the people who are of age but canât get an ID for some reason
-
You said itâs gonna be run by an AIâŚyeah Iâm sorry but the other bots that run Moderation suck

Yeah litterally I think the same, Im scared to upload my ID and just get terminated because the bot thought it was fake, And roblox being roblox wont care about my appeal

If you guys would just read a few replies above your own youâd see the answer to your questions. If you donât want to verify your ID then donât. Just silently not use the feature. Thereâs no need for you guys to go becoming activists on this thread for not verifying your identity.
All of the points you guys are coming up with are mute. Obviously, Roblox is using a third party for identity verification. So you being disappointed in Robloxâs AI is a mute point. If you upload a false identity, then obviously your account will be terminated. Thatâs a crime.
If youâd like to talk about moderation of Spatial Voice or how it will be censored thereâs a thread on that in #development-discussion this is not the place to discuss that.

Itâs not a mute. They asked for some form of feedback. Everyone is allowed to be worried about this.

Thatâs fine, feedback is feedback. But hanging on to one point to draw the thread off topic is not the way to go about it. Making 21 posts telling people they shouldnât use the feature xyz is not an opinion, thatâs an agenda.
âI donât like this feature because I have to verify my ID.â Good on you, move on. Why continue dragging the topic in a direction it wasnât meant to go in. We have categories for that.

The thing is that itâs still an AI. Not only that but roblox runs parts of it. I would personally like for roblox to hire more people just to verify these types of things.
Edit: I should mention I have no issue giving a ID

And Facebook runs their own API. And you can make your own integrations in which you can run your own part of it. This is how an API works. How else do you expect two different companies to communicate with each other securely? Thereâs also a #development-discussion category in which we could talk about how youâd personally like for Roblox to hire more people to verify these things.
Again this thread is not the place for a full discussion about that.
