Turkey blocks Roblox


Roblox says it’s working to get access for millions of players in Turkey.

“According to our Constitution, our State is obliged to take the necessary measures to ensure the protection of our children,” Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç says in a machine-translated post on X. “On Aug 7, we learned that Roblox was blocked in Türkiye, and we are working urgently to understand the issue with the goal of resolving it,” the company said in a statement on its website. “We respect the laws and regulations in countries where we operate and share local lawmakers’ commitment to children,” Roblox spokesperson Eric Porterfield says in a statement to The Verge.
