Imamoğlu's statement is as follows:

"After Instagram, it is beyond comprehension that an access ban has now been imposed on #Roblox, an online gaming platform with more than 15 million users where users can develop games. Those who make these decisions are minds unaware of the new world, the economy, and technology."
