The eSafety Commission has started auditing the age verification measures that Roblox put in place last September with the intention of preventing adults communicating with minors on the platform. The audit comes as Communications Minister Anika Wells seeks an urgent meeting with Roblox’s management, following recent reports that online predators were bypassing the new measures by purchasing age-verified accounts to chat to children, along with a report that a Queensland man allegedly groomed hundreds of children using fake profiles on Roblox, Fortnite and Snapchat.
