That article is light on implemention details. It talks a lot about the legislation itself, and ways in which it might be implemented.

Beyond that, the bill is still in progress. It passed the Senate, but not the House, and it might be dead in the water, so there are no specific implementation details just yet. The point of the article is that legislators are aware of online “platform” games like Roblox, and they are aware that they are exploiting kids. So even if this specific bill doesn’t pass, regulation is coming one way or another. It’s just a question of whether the industry will self-regulate before the government actually passes something.

I doubt it? But I really hope that translates to micro transactions are illegal now.

It’s not an article. It’s a blog post. That’s the problem.
