The Roblox company responded: “We have zero tolerance for content or behavior that glorifies extremism, including anti-Semitism. We have removed the experience from the site and blocked the users who created it. We work tirelessly to keep the platform clean and cultural. We use automated and manual tools to quickly detect non-content Appropriate and removed from the network.”
The Roblox site presented for games a crematorium, gas chambers and even a railroad track entering the camp. The company responded that it had removed the content from the site, but the stock managed to crash on the stock exchange
A network gaming platform mostly prevalent among elementary school children hosted a “Nazi experience” that included a gas chamber and corpses.
Roblox, an online game rated as suitable for children from the age of 7, made headlines last week after approving virtual sex parties with strippers and bdsm games. It was now revealed by the Daily Mail that the same game also offered an “experience” called a concentration camp, which included a room where players could press an “execution” button that releases toxic gas from shower heads.
The shocking extermination camp also included a crematorium to cremate the bodies of avatars who had passed away. In addition, you can find German flags and flags with the Iron Cross identified with the Nazis are hoisted on the various buildings and some of the avatars roam inside the camp with Nazi uniforms. Participants can watch and comment on the deaths of other users. Outside the camp you can find a railroad track similar to the entrance to Auschwitz. An avatar set up by newspaper reporters to investigate the game managed to imprison himself inside one of the cells.
Various experts resented the exposure, mainly because of the high popularity of the game among children in the UK, including Tania Carter from the school safety organization who condemned it: “We are shocked to hear about it. We are particularly shocked by the rise of the antisemitic climate in society.”
Roblox is an online platform that allows its users to build entire worlds and contains over 40 million games, in addition it is traded on the New York Stock Exchange and experiences significant declines after the exposure of the research.
