Roblox reportedly becomes the first platform audited under the Online Safety Act

Safeguard changes and independent audits

Ars Technica reported that Roblox must change its safeguards and became the first platform to submit to independent audits under the Online Safety Act.

Roblox’s safeguards were reported to have failed to stop adults from contacting children.

According to the report, Roblox moved toward external independent audits alongside required safeguard improvements.

A named platform faces the audit requirement

The focus is the identification of Roblox as the first platform subject to these audits. Both the assessment of its safeguards and the circumstances of the audit remain unverified reporting here.
