Roblox is locking down sexual content and access to ‘adult' locations after lawsuits
Roblox is updating its policies prohibiting romantic or sexual content to also forbid 'content, settings, or behavior that implies sexual activity,' according to a Friday post from chief safety officer Matt Kaufman (emphasis Kaufman's). The changes follow recent lawsuits against the company, including one from Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill that alleges the platform creates an environment where 'child predators thrive.' It claims Roblox has 'directly facilitated the widespread sexual exploitation of minors and inflicted severe, lasting harm upon the children of Louisiana.' In response, Roblox said that 'any assertion that Roblox would intentionally put our users at risk of exploitation is simply untrue.' Roblox has rolled out many safety-focused features in recent months, including an age estimator tool for users to verify they are over 13 so they can chat with 'Trusted Connections,' accounts parents can use to remotely manage their kids' accounts, and blocking kids under 13 from accessing social hangout spaces. 'Fix it, or shut it down!' Murrill replied. According to Kaufman's post, in the 'coming months,' Roblox will restrict all unrated experiences — previously restricted to players who are 13 or older — to just the developer and anyone 'actively working on the experience.' If a developer wants to make these experiences public, they will have to fill out a questionnaire to receive a content maturity label. Roblox is also rolling out 'new technology to detect violative scenes,' which is intended to detect user behavior that violates Roblox's rules in experiences that are otherwise compliant with its policies, such as inappropriate drawings in an experience with a drawing feature. 'If this feature detects a server with a high volume of violative user behavior, the system will automatically take that server down,' Kaufman says. Social hangout spaces depicting private spaces like bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as experiences primarily set in private spaces and in places like virtual bars and clubs, will now only be available to users who are 17 or older and have verified their ID. Developers will have to verify that they are 17 years or older if they want to make an experience for users in that same age group.

James Gunn Teases the Future of John Cena's PEACEMAKER in the DCU — GeekTyrant
James Gunn's first phase of the DCU has always included John Cena's Peacemaker, but as we are still ahead of the character's second season in his series, we don't exactly know what the future holds for him. Season 2 of Peacemaker will debut this week, and run through the beginning of October, and Gunn has been very tight-lipped about what the final few episodes will entail. When asked by ExtraTV (via CBM) about the broader direction of the DCU, James Gunn teased that Season 2 of Peacemaker will provide plenty of answers. "I think you're going to find out a lot, this season of Peacemaker. This is a direct follow-up to Superman, although it should be said, it's not for kids, it's for adults. We kind of see where the DC Universe is going and we find out about where it's heading from here. By the end of the season, there's a lot of surprises." In a separate interview, Gunn previously teased that episodes 6-8 of the series contain huge surprises and that he intentionally left those episodes off of advance screener copies sent out to the media. As to whether Season 2 is the last season of Peacemaker , Gunn all but confirmed that Cena's antihero will be seen again in a fourth project. Whether that's a third season of the show or something else remains to be seen, saying, "We call it the Tighty-Whities Trilogy- between The Suicide Squad , Peacemaker Season 1, and Peacemaker Season 2. Are we going to make it a quadrilogy? Probably, we'll see..." "In Season 2, Peacemaker discovers an alternate world where life is everything he wishes it could be. But this discovery also forces him to face his traumatic past and take the future into his own hands." James Gunn wrote all 8 episodes and directed 3, including the premiere. The second season reunites John Cena with key members of the season 1 cast, including Danielle Brooks (Leota Adebayo), Freddie Stroma (Vigilante), Jennifer Holland (Emilia Harcourt), and Steve Agee (John Economos), as the series gears up for a major expansion within the new DC Universe. This time around, the story will branch out beyond Peacemaker's tight-knit team, with Frank Grillo stepping in as Rick Flag Sr., a character who serves as the connective tissue to Superman, Creature Commandos, and future DCU chapters. Several additional familiar faces from Superman are also set to appear, including Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and Sean Gunn reprising his role as the Justice Gang financier Maxwell Lord. Fans will also be introduced to a brand-new character, Red St. Wild, portrayed by Michael Rooker. Peacemaker episode one drops this week on August 21st on HBO/Max.

Hailey Bieber Pokes Fun at Candid Moment Between Justin and Kendall Jenner
Hailey Bieber is having a little fun with a new photo featuring her husband, Justin Bieber, and her best friend, Kendall Jenner. On Saturday (Aug. 16), the 31-year-old pop superstar shared a series of Instagram photos from a night out with friends at a Los Angeles bar. In one candid shot, Justin — sporting a shaved head and light tank top with baggy pants — appears slightly confused as Jenner, 29, animatedly gestures beside him, seemingly mid-story.

'It's always Kendall telling a story with her hands,' the Rhode founder wrote. Her playful comment quickly racked up hundreds of thousands of likes, with Jenner joining in on the fun by replying, 'God forbid I'm a visual storyteller.' Hailey and Kendall have been close friends for over a decade. The Kardashians star was part of the Biebers' wedding celebration in 2019, and the two even dressed up as Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie from their Simple Life days for Halloween in 2024. Earlier this summer, the longtime friends went paintballing together, and the outing quickly turned hilariously competitive. In one moment captured on Kendall's Instagram Story, Hailey playfully flipped her the bird after the game. Justin also shared several other photos from his night out in L.A., including a cute selfie with Hailey. 'Secrets out we're dating!' she joked in the comments. The 'All I Can Take' singer's Instagram photo dump also included snaps of himself taking a cigarette break outside the bar, racking pool balls and dancing with a cue stick. Meanwhile, the Bieber family is gearing up to celebrate their son, Jack Blues' first birthday on Aug. 22. Last month, Justin gave fans a glimpse of their baby boy during a visit to the recording studio, where he was likely working on his latest album, Swag. The project dropped on July 11 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Check out Bieber's photo with Jenner on Instagram here.
