Which countries banned Roblox, is the US next?
ALBAWABA - Popular online gaming platform Roblox is facing a worldwide backlash over child safety concerns, with social media pressures leading to bans in various countries, most recently Qatar and, reportedly, Jordan. Most of the countries mentioned in this article have banned Roblox to protect their youth and children from potentially explicit, harmful content, exploitation, and concerns about in-game currency spending. The latest country to ban the gaming platform is Qatar. The government was compelled to ban the game due to child safety concerns, following pressure from local users on social media. According to several reports, Jordan is reportedly following Qatar's decision to ban Roblox for the same reasons. However, the ban seems yet to take action as users can still download the game on online stores such as the Google Play Store. Turkey has been very careful about its children's activity online, and Roblox is no different. The government banned the game in August 2024 over concerns about child exploitation, inappropriate content, and poor moderation. Additionally, Oman and China also banned the gaming platform around 2022 due to similar concerns and China's well-known strict online restrictions. As concerns from parents and adults grow, Roblox is facing calls for a ban in the US as well. However, the US government is yet to respond to the calls. The gaming platform also recently sparked outrage after banning "Schlep," a "vigilante" YouTuber who has been operating as a self-proclaimed "predator hunter" in hopes of protecting the children playing. He claimed to have allegedly helped in arresting six predators before Roblox's team banned him for violating its guidelines. (Roblox Corporation) The legal team issued a statement saying that "Schlep" violated their community guidelines for impersonating a child and sharing personal user data. This caught the attention of "To Catch a Predator" American television presenter Chris Hansen, who recently took to social media, stating in a video that he's taking the matter into his own hands with the help of Schlep. Hansen added, "We are deep into it, I've already interviewed law enforcement investigators, and victims of this horrible activity." Schlep responded to Hansen on X (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote, "Thanks chris, you're going to help so many kids doing this."

Authorities arrest individuals in Irbid linked to banned Muslim Brotherhood
AMMAN — Security forces on Monday evening arrested several individuals who had gathered at a private residence in Irbid, allegedly to discuss matters related to the dissolved Muslim Brotherhood society, according to official sources. The individuals were reportedly meeting at the house of a member of the dissolved Muslim Brotherhood society following an organised invitation that was under the surveillance of the relevant authorities, the sources said. 'The individuals were referred to the concerned judicial entity for further questioning and indictment.' Since the group was banned, relevant security entities have observed reported attempts 'to circumvent the ban by holding meetings under various pretexts, most notably holding meetings in the homes of regular cadres of the banned group in the form of "social events," according to the sources. In April, the government reverted to the Court of Cassation's decision in February 2020, to consider the Muslim Brotherhood society that was established on June 16, 1953, legally dissolved. 'Individuals who own assets that are affiliated with the dissolved Muslim Brotherhood society should contact the designated committee that was established by the Ministry of Social Development within one month,' the secretary general of the Ministry of Social Development, head of the committee, said. Otherwise, 'these individuals will be held accountable under the law,' he said. During the same month, Interior Minister Mazen Faraya announced the immediate enforcement of the law provisions on the so-called dissolved Muslim Brotherhood by considering it an illegal association. 'We decided to close all headquarters or premises that are used by the Muslim Brotherhood or sites that are shared with other entities, under penalty of legal accountability,' Faraya said at the time. He also announced during a press conference the banning of all activities related to the so-called Muslim Brotherhood and considered it an illegal association. Faraya called on the committee that is entrusted with seizing all assets related to the Muslim Brotherhood to expedite the process in accordance with the law. The minister also stressed that membership in the so-called dissolved Muslim Brotherhood is prohibited, as well as the spreading of its ideologies. He added that legal action will be taken against any individual or entity if the current investigations into the terror-related cases that were announced last week prove that there are connections with the suspects or the alleged plots. On April 15, the General Intelligence Department (GID) announced that 16 men, including some who were members of the Muslim Brotherhood, allegedly planned to cause chaos and sabotage acts in Jordan. The group was charged with terrorism and manufacturing explosive substances against the suspects involved in alleged plots targeting Jordan's national security. The GID had said that the 16 men were arrested following close intelligence monitoring since 2021.
