MOSCOW — Dec 3 (GeokHub) Russian authorities have blocked a leading U.S.-based online gaming platform widely used by children, citing compliance and content concerns. The move prevents Russian users, many of them minors, from logging in, playing games, or accessing in‑game purchases, drawing frustration from families and young players.
Officials said the action is part of broader efforts to regulate online platforms accessible to children and control the type of content available. Critics argue the ban limits digital freedom and isolates Russian users from global online communities.
The restriction comes amid an ongoing trend of foreign internet services being blocked or restricted in Russia, reflecting increasing government oversight over digital services and platforms.
