Global protests for Palestine have expanded to online platforms, with thousands of individuals participating in virtual protests on Roblox and other gaming platforms. These online demonstrations, organized by Malaysian content creator Afiq Mat Zaid, have garnered significant attention, with over 275,000 visits to virtual protest areas. While Roblox has stated that it does not support violence or terrorism, the platform has faced criticism for allowing antisemitic speech and has taken down the server hosting the protests for review.
