Connecting with Confidence on Roblox: Introducing Trusted Connections, Age Estimation, and Privacy Tools

I kindly ask for the Staff to give us access to this Party API document since it redirects to an “Access Denied” page

I hate how they renamed “Friends” to “Connections” but I certainly welcome the new features!

For all the valid criticism, this is a pretty silly comment… the entire point of this is “scaling freedom” in chat based on the age of both parties. No filters for adults talking to other verified adults seems very reasonable, especially given the biggest impact of removing the filter will be letting us use basic words like “goofy” or “stupid”.

“Let’s connect!” gives LinkedIn vibes :pray:

Absolutely not Roblox. You don’t understand how Roblox is like a social media where you can find other friends, connections are when you are close friends with someone but most likely you aren’t going to be playing with only your friends. Connections sounds like more of a business way of saying friends, I get you want investors and companies to use Roblox for their work but this is absolutely not the right way to do it.

I’m sorry but this update is horrendous.
Nobody here wants to say or hear “Can you add me as a connection on Roblox?”
This is a gaming platform, not a metaverse, not Facebook or Twitter.
If it’s still possible, please revert the connection change.

So users younger than 13 are not allowed to have friends? and be a normal socializing human being?

They just won’t have trusted connections, meaning no swearing for them.

This is dystopian. Roblox is not LinkedIn, this is a gaming and social platform.

Roblox treating the company like a social media app will never stop being hilarious to me :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: The extensive usage of React, the instagram ahh UI and now this!!! The next announcement is 1000% gonna be the addition of dating, who wants to bet me on this

First of all, this update is encouraging dating by allowing 18+ users to express themselves without any restrictions. Roblox historically wasn’t a dating app; it was a platform where people of all ages could play or create games.

I’d be comfortable if users could request to “connect” with eachother on the Talent page as “connections” for business purposes but calling platform friends as “connections” feels off
