This should be horrifying news to anyone who knows about Roblox's abuses of child developers and appalling content moderation policy. Here's hoping these are just empty corporate promises and not something more.

I'd be more creeped out if Roblox didn't require ID verification for the mature accounts. Do I think it's a horrible idea? Yes. However, Tinder, Bumble, Okcupid, Grindr, Hinge, or Facebook Dating don't require photo IDs. So Roblox Dating would somehow be doing more to curb sexual predators than any of the normal dating apps.

Yeah but are you really expecting to find adults on a Roblox dating site?

Also:

  1. For 17+ verified people in 17+ experiences: Thousands of adults will meet for the first time in Roblox dating experiences and subsequently form real life relationships

According to Roblox's numbers, about 40 percent of the userbase are 17+.

I think the real joke here is that Roblox Dating will fail because everybody on there would be too old for the adults playing Roblox.
