Turkey Bans Roblox Over Child Safety Concerns
News summary

Turkey has blocked access to the popular gaming platform Roblox, citing concerns over child exploitation and abuse, following a similar action against Instagram. Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc stated that the move was part of broader efforts to protect children, as mandated by Turkish law. President Erdogan has criticized social media platforms for failing to remove offensive content and accused them of 'fascism'. The ban has sparked criticism from opposition figures, who argue that it shows a lack of understanding of modern technology and the economy. The decision has led to a decline in Roblox's concurrent users and raised concerns about the platform's future in Turkey. The government has not provided a specific timeline or conditions for lifting the ban.
