Hands off Roblox: Protest emerge in Siberia after Russia bans gaming platform
Russia has banned the popular gaming platform Roblox, citing concerns over inappropriate content impacting children's moral development. Protests erupted in Tomsk, with citizens decrying the ban as a 'digital Iron Curtain.' While authorities claim the move protects youth, many question its effectiveness given easy circumvention via VPNs and the lack of Russian alternatives. Roblox maintains its commitment to user safety.
