TextService String Filter

Why does TextService FilterStringAsync filter numbers and random words?

That’s annoying.

Phone numbers, Home addresses, & more.

It’s mainly to protect kids.

It’s annoying but it’s probably legally required for Roblox to do this.

The Words “Hello” & “Hi” gets filtered sometimes too.

Why doesn’t the default chat system filter numbers then?

It uses the same functions you do.
The filtering isn’t a simple white/black list. Last I heard its a learning algorithm.
Time = better filtering

The Roblox filter filters numbers for users who have their age inputted under 13; for users ages over 13, numbers may filter, depending on how they’re used, or if the chat filter fails, on the occasion.
