Corrected on 2024-11-19T15:32:12.27-05:00

A previous version of this story incorrectly said Roblox players under 13 can no longer direct-message anyone in the game.

In addition, we incorrectly defined platform chat as the public chat room within games. Platform chat is direct messaging outside a game. Also, we incorrectly stated that users under 13 will still be able to communicate with other users via platform chat. In fact, platform chat will be disabled for users under 13.
