Roblox shocks: online gaming platform should be snared by Australia’s social media ban for under-16s, experts and MPs say

Roblox, the popular online gaming platform, is facing scrutiny as experts and MPs suggest it should be included in Australia's social media ban for users under 16. This comes after a Guardian Australia report highlighted a week of virtual harassment experienced by a reporter posing as a child avatar. The situation raises significant concerns about the safety of young users on the platform and puts pressure on the Labor government to take action. As online gaming continues to grow, ensuring a safe environment for children is becoming increasingly critical.
