A Sky News investigation has found self-harm themed avatars and clothing available to children as young as five on the gaming platform Roblox. The discovery was made during a six month-long investigation into one of the world's most dangerous online networks, which Sky News found operating in plain sight across some of the world's biggest and most popular platforms. Roblox says: "We have dedicated systems and teams working proactively to identify content and users associated with or promoting Com, and once detected, we take swift action to remove them. In all of the specific cases flagged to us by Sky News, our systems had either already removed content found to be violative, or we acted very swiftly to remove it" Read more: https://news.sky.com/uk #skynews #roblox #investigation #avatars #gaming SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Fo
