Roblox is making changes to get unbanned in Russia
Technology
Roblox, the popular US gaming platform, got banned in Russia this month over concerns about child safety.
Now, Roblox says it's ready to tweak its features—like tightening chat options and boosting content moderation—to meet Russian rules and hopefully reopen access for players there.
What's happening behind the scenes
Roblox has started talking with Russia's internet regulator about lifting the ban. The company says it wants to follow local laws so its community can play again.
Russian officials say they'll cooperate if Roblox shows it really cares about keeping kids safe online.
Similar bans have happened in places like Iraq and Turkey, reflecting concerns about online safety for young users in those countries.
