Roblox has started rolling out its new age-based account system globally, and Malaysia is among the countries included in the update. The change introduces two new account types for younger users, along with tighter chat rules, stronger content controls, and more tools for parents to manage their children's activity on the platform.

Malaysia's plan to restrict social media access for users under 16 is no longer just a "we're thinking about it" idea. According to Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching, the proposal has already moved into a regulatory sandbox phase, which is basically the government's way of saying: "We're testing this in a controlled environment first before we flip the switch for everyone."
