But Roblox is now developing a content rating system for games that it says will better match users with age-appropriate content and help parents control their children's experience.

As part of Roblox’s open-source safety toolkit, Sentinel is an early-warning system designed to identify subtle, hard-to-detect communication patterns that could indicate potential grooming.

The Roblox gaming platform, popular among cooped-up kids, is developing content ratings for games and improving parental controls after its successful public markets debut last month.
