My friend (15) was identified as 21+, and now she can no longer chat with other minors. This is completely isolating her to speak to legal adults, heightening the possibility of her being exposed to bad actors on the platform.
On the other hand, my 14 year old sister was also identified as 18+. She can no longer speak to users who are in her age range, which is completely ridiculous.
I do understand 100% why you’re not comfortable giving a government-issued ID, and truthfully I don’t think anyone should be, especially minors. Roblox claimed that they were deleting everything immediately after, but then my estimated age was updated a week later. After chatting with my friends, I found out this also happened to them.
So they’re either saving all of the data, or they’ve falsely updated the age estimation.
To answer your questions:
- Yes, I did get my facial estimation error corrected. This brought up other safety concerns though.
- I’m not too sure. Considering how insanely AI-centered Roblox has become over the last few years, I heavily doubt it.
- Absolutely no idea about this, hopefully someone else can answer this.
