Roblox, jo ek bahut bada online gaming platform hai, ek naye age verification system le kar aayi hai. Is system mein facial recognition technology ka istemal kiya gaya hai. Company ka kehna hai ki yeh step bachchon ki online safety badhane ke liye hai. Lekin bahut se parents is naye system se pareshan hain. Unhe dar hai ki yeh system sahi se kaam nahi karega aur unke bachchon ki privacy ko nuksaan pahunchayega.
Kya Hai Naya Age Verification System?
Roblox ka naya system facial recognition technology par based hai. Iska matlab hai ki platform users ki selfie ya video scan karke unki age ka andaza lagayega. Notebookcheck ke mutabiq, yeh age verification ab mandatory ho gaya hai. Company is technology ka istemal karke do alag-alag tarah ke accounts banayegi — ek chhote bachchon ke liye aur ek bade users ke liye.
Yeh system isliye laaya gaya hai taki platform par jo content hai, woh har user ki age ke hisaab se filter ho sake. Chhote bachchon ko inappropriate content se bachaya ja sake. Roblox ke 144 million daily users hain, isliye yeh ek bahut bada change hai.
Parents Ki Pareshani Kya Hai?
Bahut se parents is naye system se khush nahi hain. Unki sabse badi pareshani yeh hai ki facial recognition technology sahi se kaam nahi karegi. BBC ne report kiya hai ki parents accuracy ke mamle mein concerned hain. Matlab, kya yeh system sahi se bata payega ki ek user 13 saal ka hai ya 17 saal ka? Agar galati hui, toh chhota bachcha bade logon ke content tak pahunch sakta hai ya phir bada user unnecessarily restricted ho sakta hai.
Doosri badi pareshani privacy ki hai. Parents chahte hain ki unke bachchon ki facial data safe rahe. Company par bharosa karna mushkil ho raha hai. Fakta.co ki report ke mutabiq, Roblox is expansion ko defend kar rahi hai lekin parental concerns abhi bhi hain.
Company Ka Defence Aur Legal Jhagda
Roblox is naye system ko defend kar rahi hai. Unka kehna hai ki yeh bachchon ki safety ke liye ek zaroori kadam hai. Platform par bachchon ko harmful content aur interactions se bachana unka maksad hai.

Lekin, sirf company ka defence kaafi nahi hai. Colitco ki report ke mutabiq, Roblox Tennessee mein ek legal battle ka samna kar rahi hai. Yeh lawsuit isi age verification policy ke khilaf hai. Isse saaf pata chalta hai ki yeh mamla sirf parents ki pareshani tak seemit nahi hai, balki court tak pahunch chuka hai.
ScreenRant ne bhi September 2025 mein report kiya tha ki Roblox child safety concerns ke beech mein age estimation tool sabhi users ke liye implement kar rahi hai.
Hamaari Baat: Safety Aur Privacy Ka Balance Zaroori Hai
Seedha baat karein toh, Roblox ka maksad sahi hai. Online duniya mein bachchon ko safe rakhna har platform ki zimmedari hai. Lekin, iska tareeka sahi hona chahiye.
Hamari nazar mein, facial recognition jaise sensitive technology ka istemal karte waqt transparency sabse zaroori cheez hai. Parents ko clearly bataya jaana chahiye ki unke bachchon ka data kaise store hoga, kaise use hoga, aur kaise delete hoga. Sirf ek system laga dena aur keh dena ki "yeh safe hai" kaafi nahi hai.
Doosra bada sawaal accuracy ka hai. Agar yeh technology galat age bata degi, toh poora system bekaar ho jaayega. Company ko yeh prove karna hoga ki unka system 99% se zyada accurate hai. Jab tak aisa nahi hota, parents ka dar rahega hi.
Aakhir mein, parents ki bhi zimmedari banti hai. Company ka developer bhi keh raha hai ki parents ko apne bachchon ki 24/7 monitoring karni chahiye. Technology ek tool hai, substitute nahi. Online safety ke liye platform ke efforts aur parental supervision dono mil kar kaam karenge tabhi kuch asar dikhega.
