Question about filter

Hello! I am working on a way where you can connect multiple games and create assets, inside there will be alot of feautures including a “web”. What I want to know is what needs to be filtered of this “web”.

Images are not a problem since you can only use the ones that exist in assets but do I need to filter text? If I do it will be really annoying and I am asking if there is a way where I dont need too

For example I made so there is an option where you can only allow certain sites in your game to be loaded, the thing is in the tos it states that all text from other players need to be filtered. Altho if it is checked by the game owners then that means they allowed the asset in which teorericly counts like they did it. And the web pages arent made in roblox, it is loaded in roblox but made somewhere else, so then do I need to filter it?

because I was wondering, if the web stays constant until updated by the game owners then that means that they check if there is something innapropiate, if there isnt then this wouldnt be a problem will it? This is because as I said above tos states to filter text but if this web is pregenarated and cant be changed then roblox checks that it dosent have anything bad and allows it. The thing is as this is from somewhere outside roblox through http conection then I dont know if it is allowed not to filter the text, as it is from outsider.

This is a huge gray area in the Terms of Service but just to play it safe, I would only let users access sites that Roblox is allowed to link to. Even if you filtered the text, you still might be breaking TOS because you are letting users access other websites that you aren’t allowed to link to.

By website I am not talking about redirecting them to youtube for example, I am talking about a built in system that emulates a web through multiple games. Liike a custom non-real webpage that only exists in rbolox

If it’s user-made content then any text has to be filtered every time it is shown to players.

He isn’t talking about off-site stuff, emulating a website I suppose on Roblox

Even a custom system that is made only inside roblox? (I am emulating a web service) Like images can only be the ones in assets and text is the only problem, and as this is from roblox the onlyservice I am using is a database to store the websites. I am not redirecting them or sending a real link. It is a custom thing inside roblox

But what if there is a verify system where as I said the owners decide what can go or not. Then the owners made sure that the user generated text is safe. It was made by a user but verified by the owner, then will it be allowed?
