The Turkish government has blocked access to Roblox for all users and creators over “child exploitation” concerns.



Further claims stated, according to Turkish media, that Roblox hosted virtual parties promoting pedophilia and that “robux,” the platform’s virtual currency, was being distributed by bot accounts to encourage children’s involvement in these activities, and excess presence of gambling sites and their predatory tactics.

Good! It's a cesspool. Would never let my kids play it, if they were old enough.

Not very smart. You had all the child molesters concentrated in one place, now they're going to spread everywhere.

This is actually a good thing. Maybe more governments will follow suit.

Before Roblox they were everywhere. They are everywhere now and will always be everywhere.

Roblox should be banned everywhere.

Until retarded parents wake the fuck up to the truth, it'll never happen in the US.

We live in a day and age where a lot of parents don't want to take responsibility for the media their kids consume, so they automatically blame anyone and everyone but themselves when their kids are exposed to things.

So, no surprise a Government would get involved and do it for them.

Thank god i'm from 1988 and literally grew up as the internet started showing up. My first social media was in 2006 (HI5) and there won't be cringe tiktok videos of mine of some weird instagram stories. My parents never had to deal with this.

Nowadays everything is so damn different. If i were a parent i'd be stressed as hell 24 / 7 but that's because i know how dangerous things can be. Most parents don't seem to know or care.

My coworker lets her son play a few games on there, but she monitors everything.

As a parent you have to.
