Kids gaming platform Roblox faces hurdles ahead of public listing: rough words

Profanities and other offensive content that basic word-filtering tools are designed to catch can be found in some game titles and user profiles on children's gaming platform Roblox, searches of the website show, despite the company's "no tolerance" policy and assurances it has safeguards to enforce it. Powered by user-created games, Roblox filed late Thursday for a multibillion-dollar stock market debut, riding the lockdown entertainment boom with its appeal as a place for safe fun and interactions for the youngest gamers. In response to written questions, company spokeswoman Teresa Brewer said in a statement that Roblox "has no tolerance for inappropriate content, which is why we have a stringent safety system, including proprietary text filtering technology, third-party machine learning solutions, and customized rules on what to block, which we update daily."
