The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) in Jordan has announced a decisive move to block chat rooms on the popular online game "Roblox," citing growing concerns over child safety in digital spaces.

According to the regulator, the decision followed reports and studies indicating that open chat features on the platform could expose children to exploitation, harmful content, and unsafe interactions with strangers.

The government urged families and institutions alike to step up awareness campaigns and report any online material that could endanger children’s well-being.
