Australia seeks transparency from Roblox, Minecraft, Fortnite and Steam on child safety

Australian authorities have asked four major online gaming platforms—Roblox, Minecraft, Fortnite and Steam—to explain how they protect children from online dangers, including sexual predators and radicalization. The inquiry requests details on the platforms’ safety measures and how they monitor or identify threats within their services.

The push emphasizes transparency around safety practices and threat-detection mechanisms on these platforms, reflecting ongoing regulatory scrutiny of how digital environments shield young users.
