On November 18, 2025, Roblox announced the rollout of mandatory age-based chat controls, restricting conversations to users in similar age groups and requiring facial age estimation for chat access. The system will launch in select regions in December and expand globally in January, aiming to address child safety concerns after recent lawsuits and investigations. Despite the announcement, Roblox stock closed at $101.73 on November 18, 2025, down 0.59%. The muted price reaction suggests investors may have already priced in regulatory risks or are awaiting further clarity on the impact of these changes.
