Roblox Under Fire: Global Bans and Shutdown Rumors

The popular gaming platform Roblox is facing mounting pressure worldwide as several countries — including Turkey, Oman, Qatar, and China — have banned access to the game. Authorities cite growing concerns over child safety and the lack of strict content moderation as the main reasons behind these decisions.

In the United States, Roblox is also dealing with legal challenges. A lawsuit filed in Louisiana accuses the company of failing to protect children from harmful user-generated content, adding to the platform’s troubles.

Alongside these developments, rumors have been circulating online claiming that Roblox will shut down permanently on September 1, 2025. However, the company has dismissed these claims as false, calling them nothing more than recurring hoaxes that surface every few years.

Despite the controversy, Roblox remains one of the most widely used gaming platforms in the world, especially among younger audiences.
