How does Roblox work?
Robloxcreators' describe it as an "imagination platform."
But what does this actually mean?
Roblox is a Metaverse, it offers a service that lets users develop their own games, play other people’ games, and explore user-created content.
Thus, it becomes a place to share ideas, play with friends and meet new people.
While this is undoubtedly a fun time, parents should be wary that the platform is mostly unregulated.

Parent warning as Roblox is released on PlayStation
Parents should take care when deciding if their children should play Roblox.
It is an unregulated platform and due to the user generated nature of the content, some of the things found in the game can be questionable.
Things such as toilet simulators, or games with a lot of violence have been seen.
Roblox has a 13+ rating, but over half of its playerbase is younger than that.

The onus is on you as a parent to keep your child safe online, whether it’s on social media, online games, or online social spaces.
That being said,Robloxisn’t the wild west. The devs have taken steps to ensure kids are as safe as possible, as detailed on theRoblox website.
