Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 76180, member: 636"] Russia just yeeted Roblox off the internet after its media watchdog Roskomnadzor decided the platform was too sketchy for kids. The ban cites abuse reports, predator problems, and LGBT content that supposedly corrupts children's morals, which is pretty on-brand for Russian regulators who have been blocking games left and right lately. Roblox put out the usual corporate speak about respecting local laws and having safety measures in place, but the platform has been drowning in lawsuits over how badly it protects minors from creeps. They recently added facial recognition for age checks on chat features, but that did not stop the hammer from dropping. Despite all the drama, the game keeps breaking player count records and outpacing Steam's concurrent user numbers. [/QUOTE]
