Roblox spokesman Brian Reinert told The Canadian Press in an email the site has instituted chat-filtering software created specifically to find offensive language and flag it. "We're also saying that basically any application where your kids have the ability to connect over some type of messaging or chat feature increases the ability for someone to be coming in and possibly attempting to sexually exploit them." Safety a top priority: Roblox "As soon as we see some risks facing kids in certain spaces then we're reaching out just to notify parents on it and put them on alert that they need to be paying attention to this," Arnason said. Dark ad campaign hopes to help catch online child predators.
Signy Arnason, executive director of the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, said reports have come in from across Canada. The Centre said it has received reports about requests to meet in person and sexually suggestive chat messages being sent to children within Roblox using the site's chat feature.
