The CEO of Roblox<\/a> has responded to parental concerns about harmful content in the app<\/a> by telling them they shouldn\u2019t let their kids use it if they are worried \u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Roblox is one of the most popular<\/a> iPhone apps for kids, consistently ranking in the top 10 free apps, and said to be used by around half of all American children<\/a> below the age of 16. It allows children to create their own mini-games.<\/p>\n

But recently there have been growing reports of children being exposed to explicit or harmful content, including adults using the app as a way to try to meet kids, reports BBC News<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

The [app], which is the most popular in the UK among young gamers aged eight to 12, has been dogged by claims of some children being exposed to explicit or harmful content through its games, alongside multiple reported allegations of bullying and grooming.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

CEO Dave Baszucki says the company does try to detect and block harmful content, but argues that parents should be the ones calling the shots.<\/p>\n

\n

When asked what his message is to parents who don\u2019t want their children on the platform, Mr Baszucki said: \u201cMy first message would be, if you\u2019re not comfortable, don\u2019t let your kids be on Roblox.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But parent groups say this is easier said than done.<\/p>\n

\n

Mumsnet boss Justine Roberts said parents on the forum had spoken of how they struggled to manage their children\u2019s use of Roblox [\u2026]<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019ve got multiple children you\u2019re looking after and things happen, and you probably can\u2019t 24\/7 watch everything they\u2019re doing, even if you\u2019ve got all your parental controls set.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ellie Gibson \u2013 from the Scummy Mummies podcast \u2013 said Mr Baszucki\u2019s message risked sounding \u201ca bit of a get out\u201d [adding] \u201cit\u2019s much easier said than done, especially when all their friends are playing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Back in 2022, it was revealed that a senior Apple exec had expressed surprise that Roblox was allowed in the App Store.<\/p>\n

\n

In a 2017 email, Apple marketing head Trystan Kosmynka said he was \u201csurprised\u201d that\u00a0\u201cRoboblox<\/em>\u201d [sic] had been approved for the App Store. Epic Games decided to bring the decision up again in court to try to cast doubt on Apple\u2019s App Store review process.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
