00:00DICT Secretary Henry Aguda says the agency has placed online video game Roblox on notice.
00:06This overreports it is being used for sexual predation, grooming, and exploitation of Filipino
00:10minors. Aguda warns Roblox could face restrictions or suspension if it fails to strengthen child
00:16safety measures and cooperate with the Philippine government. Roblox serves about 380 million users
00:22monthly and has long been a creative space for people of all ages to play and build.
00:26In recent days, Roblox has drawn attention over reports that some are using the platform to
00:31indoctrinate young users into extremism or violent subcultures. It is unclear whether
00:36the threat to restrict or block Roblox in the Philippines would be enforced through
00:40a court order or unilateral government action.
