Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a billboard system in my Roblox game that shuffles adverts but also pulls in live news headlines from the Sky News (a trusted world-wide news channel) API . It updates automatically with the latest stories, but I’ve noticed that sometimes it includes headlines about sensitive topics like crimes, violence, r*pe etc.
I want to make sure my game follows Roblox’s Community Standards, so I have a few questions:
- Is it allowed to display real-world news feeds in a Roblox game?
- Do I need to filter out sensitive topics? (e.g. having a list of ban words and check the JSON response and tag them out)
- Would adding a disclaimer or warning be enough, or could my game still be moderated?
Also, if I was to filter, how would I do it? I see the filtering service needs a user passed through to work, but this is a billboard model in the workspace with no specific player tied to it. Im thinking the best way is to have a list of pre-defined banned words and check if the response contains it?
If anyone has experience with this or knows how Roblox moderates live content, I’d really appreciate the advice!
Thanks
