Spokesman Brian Reinert said Roblox has instituted chat filtering software created specifically to find offensive language and flag it.

“All accounts for users that are under the age of 13 are set to only communicate with friends,” Reinert said.

And he said the company has a moderator network to “review every image, audio, and video file” that is uploaded to the Roblox site or into any of its games.

The centre suggests that before allowing children to start playing a particular game, parents should explore it themselves first and possibly turn off the chat component.

Parents should teach children to check with them before using new apps or games or sharing any information online, and not to respond or click on messages or links from someone they don’t know, the centre said.
