Russia bans Roblox for spreading ‘LGBT propaganda’
Russia has banned the popular children's game Roblox, claiming it promotes 'LGBT propaganda' and negatively affects children's moral development. The country's internet regulator, Roskomnadzor, cited concerns over extremist activities, violence, and inappropriate content. This move is part of a broader internet crackdown in Russia, which has also restricted FaceTime, WhatsApp, and Telegram. Roblox has faced criticism for safety issues and inappropriate content, with lawsuits in Texas and Louisiana. The company has implemented new safety measures and was approached for comment on the ban.
