Turkey has blocked access to the popular online gaming platform Roblox, citing concerns over content that could potentially lead to child abuse. This move follows Turkey's recent ban on Instagram, imposed on August 2. A Turkish official stated that the ban on Roblox is primarily related to sexual content that poses risks to child safety. The decision has resulted in a decline of approximately 2.5% in concurrent users (CCUs) for Roblox, although some users may bypass the restriction using VPNs.
