    Good, it should be banned or restricted to 18+ everywhere until they start moderating appropriately. It’s absolutely not suitable for children.

    Right move, wrong reasons.

    For once, I think this is a valid move from Russia. Roblox is a legit unsafe place for children, there are so many news stories about child predators using this online game to get unfiltered access to minors; then they move the conversation to other services, in an attempt to cover their tracks. The Roblox company are not acting in good faith when it comes to truly protecting children on the web. Groups like 764 and CVLT run grooming operations on Roblox that is truly concerning. (link goes to Wikipedia, with the cited concerns).
