Part4. Why is Roblox Banned by School and Parents?
Despite Roblox’s increasing popularity, schools and parents ban kids from the game. Typically, school networks only allow access to educational content, which Roblox is not. So, why do parents ban Roblox? These are the reasons why:
• Its main focus is to make money.
Although Roblox is free to download, most of the games offer in-app purchases. This is because it features independent game developers who want to make money from their creations. As such, parents ban their kids from playing because they can easily overspend on unnecessary items.
In addition, Roblox’s creators prioritize monetization by linking features to membership status. For example, the features of a free account are extremely limited.
• Data Security Issues
Roblox has an extremely poor data security record. There have been several verified reports of data breaches on the platform. Despite the company making some improvements on the platform, these are still far from the industry standard.
For example, their team of moderators is unable to keep up with the amount of content that users create. Therefore, they still rely on their users to report security issues instead of investing in automatic security tools.
• Exposure to Inappropriate Content
Another issue that makes parents ban Roblox is overexposure to inappropriate content. You can find many games on Roblox, including those that feature mature content. In addition, the lack of proper moderation means your kid can easily access inappropriate content if you do not monitor them.
Furthermore, there are reports of cyberbullying on the platform from the chat feature. However, Roblux’s developers now offer on-site parental control features. For example, they offer a parent account where you can open restricted accounts for your kids. Moreover, very few independent developers offer educational content. As such, most parents do not see the value in allowing their kids to use the platform.
• Device Issues.
Several users report device issues when playing Roblox on cloud gaming services. Some of the issues on record are:
• Mobile devices overheating when playing on the platform
• Unusual battery drain.
These can be detrimental to your device’s durability, often causing you to replace your devices. Therefore, parents ban children from using Roblox since replacing the devices can be extremely expensive.
