Kuwait City, Aug. 22 -- Kuwait has officially blocked access to the popular online gaming platform Roblox, citing risks to children's safety.

The country's Communications and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA) on Thursday, August 21, said the move falls under its legal mandate to protect users.

The decision follows complaints from parents and other agencies about inappropriate content, harmful behaviour, unsafe purchasing practices, and the risk of online exploitation.

CITRA stated the block will remain in place until negotiations with Roblox are concluded and the company confirms its commitment to removing offensive or dangerous content and implementing robust child protection measures.
