Breaking News! Roblox is now officially banned in Russia, and that, too, for a very legitimate reason. Here's everything you need to know.

Russia has blocked Apple's video-calling app FaceTime, the state communications watchdog said Thursday, just a day after blocking the children's gaming platform Roblox.

Roblox CEO David Baszucki has stated that he has no issue allowing children to gamble on the game and is enthusiastic about integrating prediction markets. In recent years, several countries have implemented restrictions on loot boxes, with Spain being the latest to launch a campaign claiming that they amount to gambling.
