New York Governor Targets Roblox in New Online Safety Initiative

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is prioritizing children's online safety as a key focus of her administration, setting her sights on Roblox, a platform often overlooked in regulatory discussions. With federal progress on internet reforms slow, New York is stepping up with state-level measures to enhance protections for kids online. Hochul unveiled a comprehensive plan to strengthen parental controls and implement age verification, drawing on legislation proposed by state lawmakers Andrew Gounardes and Nily Rozic. This initiative aims to address current regulatory gaps and boost security on platforms popular with young users.
