im not too big on making posts like this myself but I think this needs to be known
IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY, PLEASE DO NOT DO ROBLOX’S AGE VERIFICATION!!!
Roblox has been working with a company known as Persona Identities, Inc. which has been notoriously known for using people’s faces for their personal information such as deepfakes and sexual content. The images below offer more information
What you can do is to Not Do The Verification At All until they sort this all out. If you already have done it—no worries! Just please encourage friends and family who haven’t—ESPECIALLY younger siblings. Hopefully Roblox will address this situation soon, so just sit tight.
Here are the lawsuits against Persona Identities Inc:

Unfortunately this is all I know, but I’ll do my best to look for more information about the subject if there are questions. If anybody has more information—whether defending or going against this post—please let me know. I worry mostly about about the safety of people, and even if this was somehow fake/fearmongering, I’d like for people to be aware.
