Iraq has banned the popular video game platform Roblox, citing child safety concerns and the game’s alleged incompatibility with social values. The government claims the platform exposes young users to exploitation and cyber-extortion. Roblox denies these allegations, stating safety is a top priority and that communication features were previously restricted in Arabic-speaking regions. Iraq joins other nations with similar bans.
