Russia bans Roblox over concerns about safety and extremist content

Russia has banned the popular gaming platform Roblox due to concerns about child safety and extremism, including the spread of inappropriate content. Roblox allows players to create and share games but has faced criticism for its lack of features to protect children. The country's media regulator cited issues like terrorism-related content, LGBT-related information, and reports of sexual harassment of children on the platform. Other countries have also raised similar concerns about Roblox's child safety measures, with actions taken in places like Turkey and Singapore.
