Russia lifted the Roblox ban following complaints from children and parents
Russia lifted its ban on Roblox after receiving tens of thousands of complaints from children and parents, according to the South China Morning Post. President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said the ban triggered a flood of complaints sent to authorities by children, as reported by The Moscow Times.
Russia lifted the Roblox ban following complaints from children and parents. Roskomnadzor had blocked access to the U.S.-owned platform last year, claiming it distributed extremist materials and promoted harmful content, including allegations that children on Roblox were exposed to harmful content, according to The Moscow Times. Roblox has fully complied with Russian legislation’s requirements regarding user safety, as confirmed across multiple sources. The Russian Digital Development Ministry stated that Roblox implemented additional child-protection measures and pledged to continue efforts to combat undesirable content, according to The Moscow Times. Meduza reported that the ministry reached an agreement with Roblox on conditions to protect Russian users’ rights and interests. Roblox was among Russia’s most popular mobile games, tying for third place with TikTok in usage time among children in early 2025, according to Kaspersky Lab as reported by the South China Morning Post.
