Investing.com -- Iraq has implemented a nationwide ban on Roblox, the U.S.-based user-generated videogame platform, citing child safety concerns.
The Iraqi government announced the decision Sunday, stating that the ban was prompted by worries that the platform allows direct communication between users in ways that could expose children and adolescents to exploitation or cyber-extortion attempts.
Officials also noted that the content available on Roblox was deemed "incompatible with social values and traditions" in Iraq.
According to the Iraqi communications ministry, the ban followed a comprehensive study and field monitoring which identified "several security, social, and behavioral risks" associated with the gaming platform.
