Andreas Constantinou, Director of Managed Services at Odyssey-CyberSecurity, discussed the risks and potential of the Roblox platform on the Alpha Enimerosi show. He highlighted the addictive nature of the games and the easy access to creative tools that allow children to create their own games with a simple programming language. He stressed that the games cause comparison and create a sense of importance in the characters. He urged parents to set limits, while referring to Roblox's security improvements, such as age verification using a camera (although relatively easy to bypass) and parental controls that allow monitoring and restricting access.
