About the company
Roblox provides a global virtual platform where people, especially under 18, can learn, work, play, and socialize by joining games and experiences created by a large community of developers. Using Roblox Studio, creators build immersive multiplayer experiences that run on the platform for others to explore and enjoy. The platform supports cross‑device access and social features, allowing players to interact, team up, and share content. Revenue comes from in‑platform purchases (such as virtual currency and items) and subscriptions, fueling a large ecosystem for both players and creators. What sets Roblox apart is its emphasis on user‑generated content and a scalable marketplace where millions of new games and experiences are continuously added by the community, rather than a single author-driven catalog. The company aims to connect people through shared, accessible digital experiences and to empower developers to build, monetize, and grow their communities on the platform.

↑ 10%Why does banning platforms keep coming up as the 'only' answer? Sep 24, 2026 The past few months have been busy for reporters covering the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and its attached agencies. Telegram, Roblox, Reddit, and Discord have all been called out over reports of illegal activity or risks to children. Then came the school shootings. Officials started asking what young people might be seeing in video games and online communities. Of course, those questions should be investigated. But as of this writing, no public finding has shown that a particular platform caused any of the attacks. We cannot jump from suspicion to conclusion just because what happened was frightening. Earlier this year, there were calls to ban Telegram. Roblox was given a deadline to meet with authorities. This week, the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) gave Reddit and Discord 24 hours to set up local representation or name someone the government could contact. Tech news subscription I understand why the agencies want someone to answer their calls. If a child is being groomed or exploited online, an unanswered email to a company overseas is unacceptable. These platforms should be made to act. But why does the threat of a ban keep coming up so quickly? A ban sounds decisive. But what happens after the announcement? Does it identify the person abusing a child? Does it save the messages investigators need as evidence? Does it tell parents where to ask for help? Someone intent on causing harm can move to another app. Everyone else who uses the platform for work, school, games, or keeping in touch loses access. Discover more Philippines tech market Business tech news Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence The confusion over Discord shows why clear communication matters. After Reddit and Discord contacted the CICC, the agency released a media advisory saying both would get a reprieve. Then people started posting that they could no longer access Discord. The CICC later issued a "clarification" saying the extension applied to Reddit. An official also confirmed that a request to block Discord had been sent to the National Telecommunications Commission. Psychology If Reddit and Discord gave different answers and got different treatment, why wasn't that clear in the first statement? Last week, the DICT also had to clarify what it said about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and a House hearing. It then told the media to rely on official channels. Reporters were relying on an official channel. If a government statement is wrong, say what was wrong and correct it. That should not be too much to ask, especially when the issue is children's safety. So what else can the agencies do? And this is coming from someone who is on the sidelines but did some research. There is no attempt on my part to call myself an expert even if I have been writing about online sexual abuse and exploitation of children (OSAEC) since 2018. First, make sure there is someone at each platform who will pick up the phone, so to speak. A company does not need to open an office overnight to put a team in charge of urgent requests from Philippine authorities. Tell the public which agency sends those requests, what details it needs, and how long the platform has to respond. Give parents and schools a clear place to report abuse, too. They should not have to guess whether their report reached anyone. Then deal with the account, group, image, or message involved. Give the platform enough information to find it, act on it, and keep the evidence investigators need. If the evidence disappears, it becomes harder to build a case against the person responsible. Republic Act No. 11930 already requires internet platforms to preserve specified information and remove identified child sexual abuse material after proper notice. We should know when agencies use these powers and whether platforms respond. I also want to know whether the safety features on these apps actually work for children here. Can a stranger send a child a private message? Is reporting a suspicious account simple enough for a young person to do? Can a parent understand the controls without going through pages of instructions? If someone reports grooming in Filipino or another local language, does a person who understands it review the report? These seem like better questions than whether a company can rent an office within 24 hours. Other countries have approaches we can learn from. In Australia, children and parents can report certain harmful content to an online safety regulator, which can seek its removal. In the United Kingdom, platforms used by children have to assess the risks on their services and put safety measures in place. In the European Union, reports of illegal content from designated groups with relevant expertise get priority for review. None has solved online harm, but each gives authorities something specific to demand and check. Southeast Asians & Pacific Islanders Discover more News media advertising AI consulting services Tech industry reports That is what parents need to see here: what the government asked a platform to do, whether it did it, and how long it took. How many urgent reports were sent? Was the harmful content removed? Was evidence kept? Did the child get help? Agencies can release those figures without identifying victims. They can also use them to show which platforms are falling short. A platform that repeatedly ignores valid requests should face consequences. But before officials block an entire service, they should explain what happened, what gives them the authority to block it, and why dealing with the specific abuse was not enough. I've been writing about OSAEC since I started this website. Since then, abusers have found more ways to reach children through these platforms. I honestly don't know whether that makes the authorities' work easier because they know where to look, or harder because the problem has spread across so many apps. What I do know is that shutting down a platform used by hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of people is an unreasonable response. Small businesses and content creators earn a living on these platforms, too. Enterprise tech solutions I also don't understand why threatening a ban seems to be the government's first instinct. A shutdown may look like a quick fix, but it leaves the hard questions unanswered. Who harmed the child? How will they be caught? And what happens when they move somewhere else? I appreciate the effort to protect children. I want the platforms held accountable. But the solutions being offered too often miss the mark. The real work continues after the ultimatum and the press release: investigating cases, helping victims, getting answers from platforms, and checking whether any of those steps actually made children safer.
NPC issues Show Cause Orders to Meta, Roblox, Reddit, and Discord over privacy violations. Weekly Crypto roundup. Major digital platforms operating in the Philippines are now facing a two-front regulatory crackdown. On September 22, 2026, the National Privacy Commission (NPC) formally issued Show Cause Orders to Meta, Roblox, Reddit, and Discord, demanding that the tech giants account for non-compliance with local data privacy registration laws. The privacy regulator's enforcement action comes as cybercrime authorities simultaneously push to restrict or block platforms that fail to set up local offices within 24 hours. The sudden squeeze puts some of the country's most popular social networks and gaming platforms in immediate legal jeopardy. Table of contents. Privacy watchdog targets minor data safeguards. The NPC's Show Cause Orders specifically cite non-compliance with registration requirements under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA) and NPC Circular 16-03. Under Philippine law, entities that process personal data, particularly those serving vulnerable demographics like minors, must formally register their data processing systems with the state. The NPC's investigation will assess whether these platforms meet basic standards for transparency, lawful data processing, data subject rights, and technical security measures. (Read more: NPC Reasserts Role as Data Privacy Regulator in World/Tools For Humanity Dispute) "It is NPC's position that the safety, privacy, and overall well-being of our youth must always come first," the commission stated. "As learning and social interaction increasingly take place across both physical campuses and digital spaces, we are dedicated to protecting the privacy and data subject rights of our youth." The regulator warned that platforms failing to prove compliance face formal administrative sanctions and regulatory action. A dual crackdown driven by youth safety concerns. The NPC's privacy investigation runs directly alongside a law enforcement campaign led by the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC). (Read More: CICC Gives Reddit, Discord 24 Hours to Set Up Philippine Offices or Face Potential Bans) The regulatory onslaught follows three separate school shooting incidents in the Philippines within a span of four months, most recently at Banga National High School in South Cotabato on September 18. Investigations into the incidents revealed that minors involved were active in unmonitored digital channels linked to radicalization, online sexual abuse and exploitation of children (OSAEC), and violent extremist content. While the CICC's 24-hour directive focuses on establishing physical representation to streamline criminal subpoenas and content takedowns, the NPC's action attacks the problem from a data protection angle. The privacy commission is probing how these platforms handle, track, and protect the personal information of young users who gather in these digital spaces. Expanding heat on global tech giants. The simultaneous actions by the NPC and CICC mark a shift in how the Philippine government handles foreign tech platforms operating without formal local presences. What else is happening in Crypto Philippines and beyond?
Tech giants and agencies announce key leadership changes. By Madison Russell September 22, 2026 Several major companies have announced new leadership appointments this week, signaling strategic shifts in key areas like advertising, financial planning, and public affairs. OpenAI has appointed Mark Bambury as Head of Ads for the EMEA region.

He previously held leadership roles at Google EMEA and Twitter/X.

Pinterest has named Fintan Gillespie as its new UK and Ireland Managing Director. Gillespie will lead Pinterest's business in one of its most important international markets, working with advertisers like Levi's, Primark, and Samsung. Pinterest taps Snap executive for UK leadership role. Gillespie joins Pinterest from Snap, where he held senior advertising partnership roles. He also has experience at Google UK as an agency lead. Springboard Communications has appointed Aimée Millar as Client Director and Art O'Mahony as Client Manager. Millar, a former Special Adviser in the Department of An Taoiseach, will connect Springboard's local and regional government expertise to national policy. O'Mahony brings international public affairs experience, having worked on projects like the 2025 Australian federal election and a parliamentary inquiry into the 2026 Victorian bushfires. At Springboard, he'll focus on advocacy, stakeholder engagement, and political monitoring. Susie Horgan, Managing Director and Founder of Springboard Communications, commented, "The decisions that shape our clients' operating environment are rarely made in one place. They start in a council chamber, an internal party-political meeting, or a regulator's office and they finish in a Government department, an Oireachtas committee or the Dáil chamber. Very few advisers work the whole of that chain. With Aimée and Art, and with teams in Dublin and Cork, we do." Insight Private Clients has named Brian Delaney as Chief Investment Strategist. Delaney is a seasoned investment professional with over 25 years of experience advising institutional and private clients across global markets. Norman Barry, Managing Director of Insight Private Clients, said, "Brian's appointment reflects our commitment to building a best-in-class investment function that is grounded in strong governance, rigorous analysis and a clear focus on our clients' individual requirements." Delaney's career spans a diverse range of investment houses, including Aon in Ireland, where he spent over 17 years providing strategic oversight of €2.5 billion in active multi-asset solutions for Irish and UK clients. Commenting on his new role, Brian Delaney said, "I am honoured to take on the role of Chief Investment Strategist at Insight Private Clients. The firm has a strong reputation for disciplined financial planning and long-term thinking, and I look forward to deepening our investment research, strengthening our oversight processes and ensuring our portfolios remain resilient and relevant in a rapidly changing market environment."
NPC orders Meta, Roblox, Reddit, Discord to explain registration lapses. September 22, 2026 The National Privacy Commission (NPC) has issued show-cause orders against Meta, Roblox, Reddit, and Discord over their alleged failure to comply with registration requirements under Philippine data privacy regulations. The privacy regulator said the orders, issued on Tuesday, Sept. 22, were based on requirements under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC Circular 16-03. The orders require the four digital platforms to explain their non-compliance and form part of a broader investigation into online services that process the personal information of users in the Philippines. The NPC said it would examine whether digital platforms comply with rules covering registration, transparency, lawful data processing, data subject rights, accountability, and organizational, physical, and technical security measures. The investigation places particular emphasis on platforms used by children and young people, whose personal information may be collected through social interaction, gaming, education, and other online activities. "It is NPC's position that the safety, privacy, and overall well-being of our youth must always come first. As learning and social interaction increasingly take place across both physical campuses and digital spaces, we are dedicated to protecting the privacy and data subject rights of our youth and promoting responsible data processing," the commission said. The NPC action came as Reddit and Discord separately faced a 24-hour deadline from the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) to designate a resident agent or local representative in the Philippines. In letters dated Sept. 21, the CICC said local representatives were needed to establish a clear channel for Philippine authorities seeking assistance from the platforms. The agency warned that failure to comply could result in restrictions on their operations or access in the country. The CICC issued the directive following the Sept. 18 shooting at Banga National High School in South Cotabato, amid government concerns about violent extremist content and the exploitation of minors on digital platforms. "We are not asking platforms to police the internet for the government but to be reachable, accountable, and responsive when activities on their platforms put Filipino children and communities at risk. When an online threat spills over into the real world, there has to be clear channel for authorities to act," CICC spokesperson Renato Paraiso said. The NPC's show-cause orders and the CICC directive are separate actions. The privacy commission is examining compliance with data protection and registration rules, while the CICC is seeking local representatives to facilitate jurisdiction and coordination with law enforcement. The NPC warned that it would take regulatory action against companies found to have violated data protection laws and regulations. It did not specify the possible sanctions or disclose the deadline given to the four platforms to respond. "Protecting young people in the digital environment is a shared responsibility. Within its mandate, the NPC will continue to ensure that organizations processing personal data are held accountable and that the rights guaranteed to data subjects under Philippine data protection law are respected," it said. - Advertisement - Relevant stories.
