Roblox moderation decisions reported to the EU DSA Transparency Database

Loading data…

Volume

Decisions per day, by outcome

Each statement of reasons is one moderation decision. "Outcome" is the most restrictive action in that decision.

Typical decisions by weekday

Median per weekday, so occasional mass-action days don't dominate. Based on each day's file date.

Submissions by hour (UTC)

Hour when Roblox submitted the record to the database. This is not necessarily when the action was taken.

What rules are enforced

Rules cited, with how each is handled

The rule Roblox cites as the reason (field incompatible_content_ground). Roblox uses two phrasings for some rules, and identical rules are merged. Percentages are shares of each rule's decisions. Click a header to sort.

Rule mix over time (weekly share, top 8 rules)

EU category

The DSA's standard category that Roblox assigns to each decision.

Outcome by EU category

What action is taken

Headline outcome

Content visibility actions

A single decision can list several actions, so these don't add up to 100%.

Account suspension length

Suspension end date minus the date applied, for temporary account suspensions.

Feature restriction length

Partial service suspensions (e.g. chat or voice) with an end date.

How it is detected and decided

Outcome by detection source

"Roblox's own detection" = SOURCE_VOLUNTARY. "Notice / report" = SOURCE_TYPE_OTHER_NOTIFICATION, e.g. user reports.

Automation by detection source

"Human involved" = not fully automated, as reported by Roblox.

Automation by EU category

Time between content date and action date, by detection source

application_date − content_date, both at day resolution. Older content can be actioned later, for example during reviews of existing items.

What is moderated

Content type (DSA field)

Roblox's own description of the content

Free-text field content_type_other, top 12.

About this data

Fields Roblox does not use

Counts in the selected range for DSA options that Roblox could report:

    Incomplete daily files

    Days where the published file has fewer rows than the official count shown on the EU download page.

      Notes

      • Source: EU DSA Transparency Database (platform id 74, "light" daily files). The data is submitted by Roblox.
      • Covers moderation decisions that the DSA requires to be reported, i.e. those affecting users in the EU.
      • Each row is a decision that was taken. Reports that led to no action, appeals and reversals are not part of this dataset.
      • "Previous period" comparisons use the same number of days immediately before the selected range.
      • Watch is not affiliated with Roblox or the European Commission.
