The Ministry of Information of Belarus has warned about the dangers of Roblox, a gaming platform popular among children. The ministry says that children can fall into debt and suffer injuries on the platform.
The ministry lists the risks children may face when playing Roblox, including communication with adults posing as children, in-game purchases using virtual currency, and content featuring scenes of violence and sexualized avatars.
Officials also claim that children are persuaded to move to the messengers Discord and Telegram, where they become victims of “blackmail, extortion and threats”. Another risk cited by the ministry is the involvement of children in fraud, “from phishing to participation in criminal activities”.
In Russia, Roblox has been blocked since December 2025. Roskomnadzor explained the ban by citing the discovery of cases of “mass and repeated dissemination of materials promoting and justifying extremist and terrorist activities”.
