Abstract

The article discusses the recent blocking of Roblox Corp.'s gaming platform in Russia, which has affected millions of daily users. The Russian communications agency, Roskomnadzor, cited concerns over inappropriate content and "LGBT propaganda" as reasons for the ban. Roblox, which had over 2 million active users in Russia as of 2022, has faced similar restrictions in other countries like Iraq, Oman, Qatar, and Turkey due to child safety issues. The company has previously stated its commitment to complying with local laws and has made efforts to label content related to sensitive issues, although this decision has faced criticism from advocacy groups.
