The country, which has already placed restrictions on several US applications, has now banned a popular kids' gaming platform. Russia blocked access to Roblox, a US-based online gaming platform. The reason cited is based on the country's accusation that the platform distributes extremist materials and “LGBT propaganda.”

Russian authorities allege the platform is “rife with inappropriate content that can negatively impact the spiritual and moral development of children.”

Russia has blocked Apple's video-calling app FaceTime, the state communications watchdog said Thursday, just a day after blocking the children's gaming platform Roblox.

Russia has blocked gaming platform Roblox over claims the website contains LGBT propaganda.
