SUMMARY - please read what's below as you miss out on important points
This is an extension from: https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=212813210, with my thoughts added. Roblox, please make the filters less aggressive for people who are 13+. I just learned that the word 📱 (or if you can't see the emoji, it's the device that you make calls with and message) is censored. This has gone too far. I understand that it could be used in the wrong context, but everything can be used in the wrong context. Does that mean you censor everything? No! Censoring of these harmless words makes having a conversation with friends and free speech difficult. How are you supposed to have a proper conversation when half of it is censored? Not only that, but I realized the search is censored too, try searching up "insanityxxx" in people, you'll find it is censored and gives no result. Search should be less heavily censored as the only person who sees it is yourself. I fear this will make it increasingly difficult to find what you want in search when it censors harmless words, and gives you no results.
Please, make the censoring less aggressive for those who are 13+ years old, yes there will be people who lie about their age, but that is not fair for the people who are over 13+ and have to suffer as a result.
SUMMARY – please read what's above as you miss out on important points -Filters for those who are 13+ are too aggressive, harmless words such as 📱 (or if you can't see the emoji, it's the device that you make calls with and message) is censored -This makes conversations with friends difficult when half the words are censored -Everything can be used in the wrong context, do you just censored everything? No! -Search is censored too, try searching "insanityxxx" in people, no results, just censored -No one other than yourself sees these searches, therefore it shouldn't be censored so aggressively -I'm concerned heavily censored searches will make it difficult to find things -People will lie about their age, but that's not fair to the people are are 13+ and have to suffer |

Well, they have to use community sift because of C O P P A. So, this probably won't happen unless Roblox starts being based in another country. |

No they don't have to do this lolcactus. 1) This change is recent, C O P P A is almost twice as old as ROBLOX. If it was ok then, it's ok now 2) They've already divided their users by age, so they can already protect 13- accounts without having to ruin the experience for 13+ accounts. If a child lies about their age, that's not ROBLOX's fault.
I support the idea proposed that 13+ accounts should be able to toggle off the filter so that they can view "offensive" content if they want. It makes no sense to censor everyone for fear that someone lies about their age, and if someone consents that they are willing to take the risk of seeing "offensive" words, they should not be denied that right to choose. ROBLOX needs to separate what people are able to see so that 13- accounts and anyone who has not given consent will see "offensive" words as hashtags while us 13+ heathens who have checked the box and read the disclaimer will see the original message uncensored. |

| ####a#flungRockstar has a very valid point. We're over 13, we can't talk properly because of the filter, we flip the switch, and we read the disclaimer, so there shouldn't be any legal problems. |

"Please make the filter more aggressive" |

It's a pain in the backsides for 13- too. Anyway, I lied about age to prevent people that hack know my actual age, and really ROBLOX is just doing a parents job. The filter SHOULD be toned down because: "Roblox ###### users have a hard #### #### ### lag, ##."
