UK considers regulations to ban children from talking to strangers in Fortnite and Roblox

The UK government is considering rules to stop children from chatting with strangers in online games and related chat services.

Age verification and feature limits are being discussed as part of the online safety push.

Roblox, Fortnite, Minecraft and Discord are among the platforms mentioned, but the final scope has not been decided.

If adopted, the proposal could significantly change in-game chat and age-check systems for children in the UK.
