Alabama has announced a $12.2 million settlement with Roblox over child safety protections on the gaming platform. The funds will be used to fund school resource officers across the state. The settlement follows a series of controversies involving RoblX, a social gaming platform with over 151 million users, over alleged child safety issues in its user-made games. Last week, Nevada became the first state to reach a settlement with the company. Both settlements were negotiated in lieu of official lawsuits from the states. The company has pledged to enforce stricter safeguards, including age verification for all users, expanding parental controls and ending all encryption on chats for minors.
