Russia's communications regulator, Roskomnadzor, has blocked access to the Roblox gaming platform. The government accused the company of distributing extremist materials, "LGBT propaganda," and other inappropriate content that could negatively impact the spiritual and moral development of children. This action makes the platform unavailable in the Russian market. Roblox has faced similar bans in other countries, including Iraq and Turkey, due to concerns about child safety. In response to the news of the ban in Russia, Roblox's stock (RBLX) experienced a decline of just over 1% during trading on December 3. Roblox Corp has not yet issued a public comment on the matter.
