Roblox is banning kids from unrated experiences and Social Hangout spaces in an effort to protect them from paedophiles | Mission failed successfully.


Mission failed successfully.

"As we grow and learn, we continually enhance our safety measures to keep users of all ages safe on our platform, and we need your help to achieve this," a Roblox update post says.
