Meta, Snap and Roblox Commit to Tougher Anti-Grooming Measures in the UK

Ofcom pressed major platforms to do more to protect children online in the UK after finding current safeguards were insufficient.

Meta, Snap and Roblox said they will add stronger age checks and anti-grooming measures for UK users.

The changes aim to reduce adult-child contact and other online harms, especially around messaging and chat features.

TikTok and YouTube did not announce major new protections, highlighting uneven industry response.

The move could influence broader UK regulation under the Online Safety Act and future age-limit rules.
