Roblox gets banned indefinitely in Turkey over "child exploitation"

Roblox has been banned indefinitely in Turkey due to concerns over child exploitation. The Turkish government cited reports of inappropriate sexual content and the platform's alleged failure to protect its young user base. Critics have accused Roblox of benefiting from child labor, as many popular games are created by young developers. Additionally, the platform is facing a class action lawsuit related to the deletion of virtual items purchased with Robux, its in-game currency. The Turkish Directorate of Communications emphasized that the ban was motivated by the platform's perceived exploitation of children, including claims of virtual parties promoting pedophilia and the distribution of Robux by bot accounts to lure children into harmful activities. Roblox has acknowledged the ban and is in contact with Turkish authorities to resolve the issue. The ban raises concerns among players and creators about the future of their earnings and the value of Robux, which is now inaccessible.
