Children in Russia have expressed outrage over the recent ban on the Roblox gaming platform, with 63,000 complaint letters received by the Kremlin in a week. Half of the young protesters even threatened to leave Russia due to the ban, which was implemented to protect children from extremist content and "LGBT propaganda." The Russian media watchdog claimed that Roblox could expose kids to sexual harassment and other dangers. The ban has sparked concerns among parents, but Roblox states it has measures in place to ensure a safe environment for users. The popular game, with over 111.8 million daily users, has faced backlash in Russia, where Western-owned platforms like Facebook and Twitter are also restricted.
