The reason was the recent tragedy in St. Petersburg.
According to Oleg Matveychev, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Technology and Communications, the Russian authorities are considering blocking Roblox.
The reason was the recent tragedy in St. Petersburg: a 13-year-old schoolgirl killed her mother and then set fire to the apartment. The girl herself called the police, but said that a stranger had entered the apartment, killed the woman, cut the schoolgirl's hand, and then set fire. Law enforcement officers who arrived at the scene found no traces of the suspect.
After interrogation, the girl confessed that she had arranged everything herself because her mother did not allow her to sit on social networks.
It turned out that the girl planned her crime in Roblox. In the game, her avatar also sets fire to the apartment, and then dances to music in a fire-engulfed room.
If the investigation establishes a connection between Roblox and the tragedy, the game will be blocked.
