Popular online game Roblox has been completely banned in Egypt. The Supreme Council for Media Regulation will work with the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority to ensure the ban is properly enforced.
The Roblox ban was taken after a proposal was made by Senator Walaa Hermas Radwandid who claimed that Roblox could harm the moral values and education of Egyptian children. He also voiced concerns about children being contacted by unknown individuals and the psychological effects of the game on underage users.
Roblox issued a statement saying that their existing security controls are strict and exceed those of many other platforms. Egypt joins other countries that have banned or blocked Roblox such as Iraq, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey and Russia who also claimed that it contained content in the form of LGBTQ+ propaganda.
In Malaysia, online games are still accessible to underage users with MCMC currently researching the best mechanism to regulate online games for children through the Online Safety Act 2025.
