• Roblox is an online platform that lets kids design, build and share virtual worlds
• A vile Nazi virtual concentration camp was discovered by some reporters 
• It included statues of soldiers with guns, prisoners, and a crematorium oven, allowing kids as young as seven to execute people by releasing deadly gasses from showerheads

Nazi flags and the German cross were seen outside Lego-style watchtowers, along with rows of avatars dressed in Nazi costumes, statues of soldiers with guns, captives, and a crematorium oven. Players could even observe and comment on other players’ deaths.

A reporter who looked into the game created an avatar that was able to get into the virtual world and was able to see the cells which were said to give the experience the conditions of prisoners during World War II, which included gassing and executing prisoners.

The enormous world of games and digital realms that users may explore on the platform is seen as an early iteration of the metaverse – an online world in which people will presumably do most of their socializing and working.

The game world is regulated, but it is so big that monitors have difficulty policing it all. Last week, Roblox was condemned for hosting games called “condos” in which avatars simulate sex. In 2018, Roblox had over 50 million daily players in 180 countries.

Last night, Roblox said, “We have zero tolerance for material or behavior that promotes or glorifies extremism, including antisemitism.
