Swastika & bomb making: Neo-Nazis infiltrate children's games

As SWR research shows, young online gamers, such as those on Roblox, risk falling into right-wing extremist networks!

Roblox, one of the most popular video games among children and teenagers. A platform on which users can create their own worlds. According to Roblox, it brings people from all over the world together. Over 60 million daily. Sounds promising.

But who actually networks there?

VOLLBILD journalist Jan Vollmer looks for clues and finds out that the games platform is also used by right-wing radicals. He immerses himself in a world between colorful Lego-looking building blocks and radical Nazi propaganda on the verge of legality.

Is Roblox a place where children and young people are radicalized? What impact can that have? And what is the game developer doing about it?
