    Right move. Wrong reason.

    First good thing Russia’s done in a while, even if it’s for a dumb reason.

    Eh I hate Roblox it my fucking kids love it. Access to it is 100% a free speech issue.

    Can’t let perverts capitalists or censorship stop the kids from having fun. Or else they win.

      I grew up in the 80s, when we had these huge high profile congressional debates over everything from Mortal Kombat to Twisted Sister. It still stuns me to see modern game platforms become everything the hysterical Satanic Panic folks warned us about. But now that it really is a hothouse for scamming, grooming, and extremism, nobody seems to fucking care.

      Nobody should be letting their kids play Roblox. This is probably the best thing the Russian Parliament has done since Yeltsin ordered tanks to shell it.
