Jakarta, Jan. 7 -- The National Counterterrorism Agency, or BNPT, plans to introduce an identity detection feature for Roblox game account registration using a smartphone's front-facing camera.

BNPT Head Eddy Hartono said the feature will verify users' ages through a facial biometric system to restrict children's access to inappropriate content.

"Roblox will likely be equipped with a camera feature, so every child who creates an account will have their face captured for age verification," Hartono said in Jakarta on Wednesday.

He explained that the initiative is intended to protect children and women, who are considered the most vulnerable groups in the digital space, particularly in online gaming platforms such as Roblox.
