The Ministry of Information spoke out against the online game Roblox
The Ministry of Information claims that Roblox is not just entertainment for children, but a platform that often leads to psychological trauma and financial problems.

The danger, according to officials, comes from the fact that Roblox effectively operates as a social network. Children can easily interact with adults who may pretend to be peers. There is almost no effective age verification for users.
Through "friendships," children are lured into switching to Discord or Telegram, where threats, blackmail, and extortion may then arise.
The game's internal currency, called Robux, often becomes a way to extract money. Children spend real funds without realizing the possible consequences.
Despite the stated age rating, the platform features many scenes of violence, sexualized avatars, and games intended for adults.
In addition, Roblox is increasingly being used as a launching pad for scams — from phishing to luring children into illegal activities.
It is precisely because of these risks that the platform regularly comes under the attention of regulators as an environment potentially dangerous for minors.
Roblox is an online platform for creating and playing video games that allows users to create their own games and play games made by other people. In essence, it is not one game, but an entire ecosystem of games and creative projects.
