Roblox 推出了一種新的用戶年齡驗證方式,有助於確保兒童的安全。
Main Body
Roblox uses a camera to look at faces. This tells the company how old a person is. Now there are three groups: Kids (5-8), Select (9-15), and Adults (16+). Each group has different rules for chatting.
Roblox 使用攝影機來掃描面部,藉此讓公司得知使用者的年齡。現在分為三個組別:兒童(5-8 歲)、精選組(9-15 歲)及成人(16 歲以上)。每個組別都有不同的聊天規則。
Roblox also checks how people talk and play. They want to find users who lie about their age. People who make games for children must now show a government ID and pay money.
Roblox 也會檢查人們的對話與遊戲方式,旨在找出對年齡造假的用戶。現在為兒童製作遊戲的人必須出示政府核發的身份證明文件並支付費用。
Fewer people use Roblox now. The number of daily users went down from 152 million to 132 million. Because of this, the company's stock price fell.
目前使用 Roblox 的人數減少了。每日活躍用戶數從 1.52 億下降至 1.32 億。因此,該公司的股價隨之下跌。
