Roblox, the popular virtual world platform, is no longer accessible in Qatar amid concerns that its content conflicts with Islamic values and child safety standards.

While the app remains downloadable via app stores, users attempting to open it encounter “No Network” errors, and the web version displays “This site can’t be reached.”

Reports from Ooni noted “access anomalies” beginning at 7:32 AM local time on August 13. Qatar has not officially confirmed the restriction, but social media activity suggests public pressure influenced the decision.

Roblox has drawn criticism worldwide for exposing minors to inappropriate content and unsafe interactions, prompting advocacy groups to call for stricter regulations.

China, Turkey, and Oman have already blocked access to the platform for similar reasons.
