An update from CEO David Baszucki on age verification, what’s next for Trusted Connections and more controls for creators.

@DavidBaszucki Ban the p3dos, why does everyone have to suffer because of what THEY did

@DavidBaszucki Dude just delete this update and ban pedos. It’s not that hard.

@DavidBaszucki Feels like a terrible update that just happened to be rushed making it even more terrible. Like why would a "safety" update be released without all safety tools in place??? So many issues and contradictions with this mess. It simply shouldn't exist. So many better options.

Why roll out age verification if there is so much to add to the feature still? It feels like you shipped an update without thinking of many scenarios (some quite obvious) and now you're trying to fix that We understand the reasoning for the update - we just wish more thought process went into the how it was going to be given to the community... the feature as is, is detrimental to the platform

@DavidBaszucki Your shitty system verified a 10 year old as 16-17. Fucking undo this. You’re grouping ages together which can allow for someone older to falsely verify as a child and have easy access to young, vulnerable kids.

@DavidBaszucki Congratulations Roblox, you have officially created a new online market for predators...

@DavidBaszucki Congratulations @Roblox on making your platform even MORE unsafe and pissing off your ENTIRE COMMUNITY

@DavidBaszucki

@DavidBaszucki 😔 Appreciate at least that you guys will add a way for verified creators to talk with fans. It's been a major loss with this update.

hey @DavidBaszucki, since @Roblox rolled out a face scan feature that asks children under 13 to scan their faces. as a parent, i was never informed or asked for consent. hey @grok under u.s. law (coppa), is it legal for a platform to request or require a facial photo or face scan from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent?

Under COPPA, platforms must get verifiable parental consent before collecting personal info like photos or facial scans from kids under 13. Biometric data counts as personal info. Requesting it without consent violates the law, even if data is deleted after. Roblox mentions parental consent as an option—check their support for your case.

@Roblox @DavidBaszucki @Roblox @DavidBaszucki your move…

Roblox's policy states parental consent is needed for under-9 chat, with facial scans deleted post-processing. However, COPPA requires verifiable consent for biometric data from under-13s. If no consent was obtained, it may violate rules. Contact Roblox support or FTC for your situation.

@Roblox @DavidBaszucki thanks grok. to confirm: a business requesting a facial photo from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent is illegal under u.s. law and raises serious child safety concerns. correct?

Yes, that's correct. Under COPPA, collecting personal info like facial photos or scans from kids under 13 requires verifiable parental consent. Biometric data qualifies, and requesting it without consent is a violation. This can indeed raise child safety issues, as the law is designed to protect privacy. Check FTC for details or report concerns.

@Roblox @DavidBaszucki @FTC …

@Roblox @DavidBaszucki @FTC If you suspect a COPPA violation, report it to the FTC via their complaint form at Include details like the platform, feature, and lack of consent. They'll review for potential enforcement. For more on COPPA, see

@DavidBaszucki Fuck you

@DavidBaszucki bruh remove the age of verifications, you're losing a lot of markets. Please revert while still time

@DavidBaszucki

@DavidBaszucki

@DavidBaszucki people are running around as guests with torches btw 😭

@DavidBaszucki @RafikiBSC

@DavidBaszucki

@DavidBaszucki Dawg, just remove the update, PLEASE!

@DavidBaszucki

@DavidBaszucki fuck off

@DavidBaszucki You look like a child predator

@DavidBaszucki Seeiouly one of the worst update Roblox did. I know why they did it but im certain it wasnt the right solution for the problem. Its killing one of the main pillar of the platform.

@DavidBaszucki Many "verified Influencers" are the issue here as they will likely abuse this advantage with how easy it is to get it.

@DavidBaszucki

@DavidBaszucki David just stfu pls… no one wants to hear your fuckin corporate bullshit

@DavidBaszucki Pedo's are just gonna buy 13 and under accounts, Your making it easier for them.😭

@DavidBaszucki You’re also killing your own company which isn’t great.

@DavidBaszucki Why weren't these features implemented before the age check rolled out? This is a game-breaking update.

@DavidBaszucki he has learned NOTHING for the past day

@DavidBaszucki just add parental controls instead of forcing everyone to scan their face... its not rocket science dude

@DavidBaszucki You can just see him reading off a script. 🙄

@DavidBaszucki Kids are being put into the 21+ category without a way to change it forcing them to play with adults, adults are being put into kids servers. You can’t determine age based on faces because some people look older or younger. Reverse this rubbish nobody wants it

@DavidBaszucki shut the fuck up

@DavidBaszucki Age estimation is also extremely inaccurate and puts risk to children that are placed in the wrong age bracket.
