Ideally Roblox would be able to rely on the platform to tell them whether the device is child-locked or not. It would be up to parents to make sure their kids only have access to devices with appropriate locks turned on. Parents could rely on vendors to make devices where it’s easy to set appropriate locks, and rely on stores not to sell unlocked devices to kids.
But we don’t live in that world.
Also, the are trying to prevent adults from pretending to be kids, which is much harder than preventing kids from accessing adult sites.
This is an interesting comment because there’s a parallel effort to shift age verification to devices, which draws a lot of hate here.
Because almost universally it's not an privacy-preserving age verification, but permanently deanonyming identification.
Please, let's keep it accurate.
