Russia's media regulator blocks Roblox for 'justifying terrorism' and spreading LGBT content

Russia's media regulator said it would block the popular online gaming platform Roblox, accusing it of distributing content "justifying terrorism" and spreading LGBT-related content.

Russian media quoted Roskomnadzor as saying on Wednesday that Roblox has also engaged in "calls for violent crimes, and LGBT propaganda" and had become rife with "inappropriate content that can negatively impact the spiritual and moral development of children", according to local news outlets.
