#CICC Roblox

Roblox may be blocked in the Philippines after the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) shortened its deadline for the company to respond to safety concerns from 30 days to 15. The CICC said Roblox did not cooperate with its request to address issues related to online safety. Telcos agreed to prepare to block access to Roblox across the country, setting up the system needed if the ban pushes through. The CICC also reminded parents to monitor their children’s online activity and be aware of the risks in online platforms. Roblox is widely used in the Philippines, especially among young players. Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center has issued a one-month ultimatum to Roblox, warning of a possible nationwide ban if concerns over child safety and illegal activity are not addressed. CICC Undersecretary Renato Paraiso said Roblox has 30 days to coordinate with authorities. Authorities are considering coordination with telecom providers to restrict access to Roblox servers, as well as working with Google and Apple to remove or limit the app through geo-fencing measures on the Play Store and App Store.
