Include Roblox in the Social Media Ban for Under Sixteens

The issue

Kiara's children, like many others, enjoy playing on Roblox, an online social gaming platform. But she, as countless other parents, has discovered a terrifying truth: Roblox isn't as child-friendly as it seems. A significant concern has arisen due to the malicious individuals who use this platform to prey on children. The anonymity and interactive features of Roblox provides a gateway for such deceitful predators to target innocent victims.

A recent report published by the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) stated an alarming increase of 1060% in online grooming cases on gaming platforms, including Roblox, in comparison to the previous year.

With the current laws, popular platforms like Facebook and Instagram are included in the under sixteen social media ban. However, Roblox remains a glaring exception to this rule. We believe in a safer online environment for our children. We need to take a stand and demand that Roblox be included in the social media ban for under sixteens.

Doing so will provide an extra level of safety for our children and can significantly reduce the threat of online grooming. The challenge is massive, but the safety of our children is a challenge worth fighting for. Please, stand with us. Sign this petition to get Roblox included in the under sixteens social media ban.
