Roskomnadzor found no reason to unblock Roblox

Roskomnadzor has found no reason to unblock the American Internet service Roblox in Russia. This was reported on December 6 in the department.

"Currently, there are no grounds for unblocking the Roblox platform," RIA Novosti quotes.

On December 3, Roskomnadzor restricted access to Roblox due to the massive and repeated dissemination of materials with propaganda and justification of extremist and terrorist activities, calls for violence, as well as propaganda on LGBT topics (the LGBT movement is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).

Stop the game: the Roblox platform was blocked in Russia

The reason was the banned propaganda

On December 4, Sergei Boyarsky, head of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, called Roskomnadzor's decision to block Roblox absolutely correct and timely. He added that the game itself did not pose a threat, but fraud cases became more frequent in its chats, when attackers asked children to take pictures of their parents' bank cards and stole funds.
