Communications minister Fahmi Fadzil said the move followed concerns that such platforms were being used by extremist groups to recruit children, as highlighted by Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, a former deputy inspector-general of police.

"My discussions with Roblox, for example, since last year have shown that they are willing to cooperate. The issue may simply be one of user verification and age verification.
