An independent game developer for Roblox says he believes the platform's child safety measures, including age verification checks, do not go far enough.
Roblox is the most popular gaming platform in the UK among eight to 12-year-olds.
In an exclusive interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, the developer - whom the BBC is not naming at their request - said parents should monitor their children on the platform "24/7, and if that's not possible then they shouldn't be playing Roblox".
A spokesperson for Roblox said "safety is a top priority, and we have advanced safeguards and filters designed to prevent harmful content and communications on our platform to keep all our users safe".
In 2024, Roblox averaged more than 80 million global players per day - with roughly 40% of them under the age of 13.
