Prohibit conversations "Rublix" game in Saudi Arabia and the UAE to protect children

“Roblox Corp” has decided to impose restrictions on some features on its famous video game platform in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, amid increasing concerns associated with the safety of children and the tightening of organizational control in the region. The changes include a temporary suspension of the In -Game Chat instrument in “Rublix” and the improvement of content control in Arabic, according to a joint statement published on the “X” platform by the “communications -regulatory authority and the digital government” in the Emirates. Saudi Arabia, a major video game industry market, has imposed similar restrictions on “Roblix”, according to the official “Al -ikbaria” channel. This decision comes after the match in other countries in the region, including Kuwait, Qatar and Turkey, is banned.
