@GlobalOccultCo3 @xnxkwxd If they do, and you find out it's for something like this you personally can sue them for wrongful termination.

@xnxkwxd @4radusfr Hey bro, hide information of me in case they revenge me

THE GDPR CASE AGAINST ROBLOX AND VNG — UP TO $196 MILLION IN REGULATORY EXPOSURE The coalition has spent ten days documenting the Roblox VNG lockout through US regulatory channels — FTC, California Attorney General, BBB. The first CA AG PIU formal acknowledgment was received on Day 8 (case #1549992). Now the European pathway opens. Coalition contributor aradus (@4radusfr) has produced a comprehensive GDPR analysis of the Roblox VNG region-lock pattern. The analysis identifies three independent GDPR violation categories, any one of which exposes Roblox Corporation and VNG Corporation to penalties of up to 20 million euros or 4% of global annual revenue — whichever is higher. Roblox Corporation's 2025 annual revenue: $4.89 billion. 4% of $4.89 billion: approximately $196 million. VIOLATION 1 — ILLEGAL DATA TRANSFER TO THIRD COUNTRY (GDPR CHAPTER V, ARTICLE 44) The GDPR strictly regulates how personal data leaves the European Economic Area (EEA) and enters "third countries" — any nation outside the EU/EEA, including Vietnam. Article 44 (General Principle for Transfers) states that personal data can only be transferred to a third country if Chapter V conditions are met. Articles 45 and 46 (Adequacy and Safeguards) specify: data can only be sent to a country if the EU has issued an "Adequacy Decision" confirming that country has strong privacy laws, or if the companies have signed official legal contracts called Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). Vietnam does not have an EU adequacy decision. Transferring an EU user's entire profile and locking it onto a local Vietnamese server without these signed safeguards is a massive GDPR violation. The data protections must "travel with the data." A glitch, hacker, or silent migration bypassing these protections makes the transfer automatically unlawful. For every EU/EEA user whose Roblox account was silently transferred to VNG Vietnamese jurisdiction — the transfer itself is a standalone GDPR violation regardless of what happened to the account afterward. VIOLATION 2 — TOTAL ABSENCE OF VALID CONSENT (GDPR ARTICLE 7) The GDPR sets strict bars for what counts as legal consent. Article 7(4) (Conditional/Tied Consent) states that consent cannot be "bundled" or forced as a requirement to use a service if that processing is not strictly necessary. Forcing a player to accept a completely different region's restrictions and data laws just to play a game they already owned is a textbook violation of this clause. Article 4(11) and Recital 32 (Definition of Consent) require that valid consent must be "freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication" via a "clear affirmative action." A hacker changing your region is not your affirmative action. A broken software update is not your affirmative action. Silence, inactivity, or being trapped behind a glitch never counts as consent under the law. The coalition has documented 13 trap vectors through which users were migrated to VNG jurisdiction. Not one of them constitutes freely given, specific, informed consent under GDPR Article 7. VIOLATION 3 — REFUSAL OF RECTIFICATION AND ERASURE RIGHTS (GDPR ARTICLES 16 AND 17) Article 16 (Right to Rectification): users have the right to demand that inaccurate or incorrectly processed data about them be corrected immediately. If a European user's region is set to Vietnam but they live in Europe, that data is factually incorrect. The refusal to correct it violates Article 16. Article 17 (Right to Erasure / Right to be Forgotten): if a company obtained data unlawfully — which VNG did, via hacker breach, silent migration, or glitch-driven conversion — the user has the right to demand deletion of their data from VNG's local systems. By refusing to let users leave VNG jurisdiction, VNG is illegally retaining data against the user's will. The coalition has documented 60+ users submitting rectification and region-change requests. All received identical template refusals. None received data erasure processing. This is systematic, documented refusal of GDPR data subject rights at scale. VNG'S OWN CONTRACTUAL BREACH LAYER Additionally, VNG's own Terms of Service contain a clause obligating VNG to permit user rectification of inaccurate information: "You agreed to inform us of information which is inaccurate or misleading, and you agree to inform us... We reserve the right at our sole discretion to require further documentation." VNG contractually obligated themselves to accept and process rectification requests. VNG's practice of refusing every documented rectification request is breach of their own Terms of Service in addition to violating GDPR Article 16. Documented contract breach + regulatory violation compound the legal exposure. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR EUROPEAN COALITION MEMBERS European data protection authorities can fine VNG and Roblox up to 20 million euros or 4% of annual revenue, whichever is higher. At Roblox's 2025 revenue of $4.89 billion, the 4% threshold produces approximately $196 million in potential regulatory exposure. EU and UK coalition members affected by the VNG lockout have standing to file GDPR complaints with their national data protection authority (DPA). Each EU member state has its own DPA. Complaints filed by EU residents about cross-border data transfer violations are routed through the EU cooperation mechanism — a single complaint can trigger coordinated enforcement across multiple DPAs. For EU/UK coalition members: your GDPR complaint pathway is available immediately. File with your national DPA citing GDPR Articles 44, 7, 16, and 17. Reference the coalition documentation at @xnxkwxd and case evidence pool in the coalition Discord. WHY THIS COMPLEMENTS US AND VIETNAMESE REGULATORY PATHWAYS US pathways (FTC, California AG) target Roblox Corporation under US consumer protection and privacy law. Vietnamese pathways (VCC, MPS, bvntd.gov.vn, MIC) target VNG Corporation under Vietnamese domestic law. GDPR pathways target both Roblox Corporation and VNG Corporation under European data protection law. The penalties under GDPR are significantly higher than typical US consumer protection enforcement and carry cross-border enforcement mechanisms the US system does not have. Filing across all frameworks creates multi-jurisdictional regulatory pressure that neither Roblox nor VNG can resolve by addressing only one regulatory framework. Each requires independent resolution. The coalition now operates across six regulatory frameworks simultaneously: FTC (US federal), California AG (US state), Vietnamese Consumer Rights + VCC + MPS (Vietnamese domestic — three parallel authorities), and GDPR (European). Every framework compounds pressure independently. Any one producing enforcement action creates precedent leverage for the others.

THE SILENT ROLLBACK — SELECTIVE RESTORATION AND CORPORATE BLAME-SHIFT REFRAMING Overnight into Day 8 of the documented Roblox VNG lockout campaign, a partial rollback was executed by Roblox and VNG without public announcement, changelog entry, or user notification. For many locked-out users, games are now accessible again. Chat has been partially restored. Some support responses have started arriving where days of silence preceded them. This is not accountable restoration. This is selective damage control executed silently to reduce visible pressure without addressing structural harm. Three documented facts about the rollback: EXHIBIT A — NO PUBLIC STATEMENT ISSUED Neither Roblox nor VNG has issued a public statement acknowledging the rollback, explaining what changed, or committing to the stability of the restored access. Users affected by the original enforcement wave have no path to verify whether the restoration is permanent or another temporary configuration that will revert. EXHIBIT B — RESTORATION IS SELECTIVE Restoration does not apply uniformly across all locked-out users or all affected features. Documented from primary source aradus (@4radusfr, Pakistan, ID-verified, Day 6 SLA silence primary test case): Games: restored for many users Chat: partially restored — but users still cannot chat outside the Vietnamese region Region-lock itself: unchanged — accounts remain locked to Vietnam DevEx suspension for VNG-region developers: unchanged Screen Time Vulnerability enforcement: unchanged 180-minute cap and post-cap login lockout cascade: unchanged Users who report "everything is fixed now" have not actually been fully restored. They have received partial functionality restoration while the core region-lock and its downstream degradations remain in place. Do not mistake selective restoration for resolution. EXHIBIT C — CORPORATE NAMING SHIFT Documented in Day 6 support responses to aradus: support communication that previously referred to "Roblox VNG" now uses the phrasing "Roblox Vietnam is currently..." — shifting the frame from a specific corporate publisher (VNG) to a country jurisdiction (Vietnam). This distinction is legally significant. Harm attributed to VNG as a corporate publisher creates corporate accountability. Harm attributed to "Vietnam" as a country reframes the same conduct as sovereign jurisdictional necessity, diffusing corporate accountability into geographic inevitability. VNG Corporation JSC is a corporation. It has directors, shareholders, and legal liability. "Vietnam" is a sovereign state. Corporations cannot hide behind sovereign framing to escape accountability for corporate conduct — but they can attempt to muddy the framing in support communication to complicate future regulatory and legal narratives. The naming shift is not cosmetic. It is documented pre-positioning for the defense narrative Roblox and VNG will use if formal enforcement action materializes. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE COALITION The rollback is not a resolution. It is pressure management combined with narrative reframing. Users experiencing partial restoration must continue documenting. The rollback does not restore lost value from purchases, missed DevEx earnings, screen time enforcement harm, or the weeks of documented functional degradation. It does not undo the transfer to VNG jurisdiction. It does not honor the written commitments Roblox and VNG made to affected users and never executed. Coalition members whose access was restored: do not withdraw complaints. Do not close support tickets. Do not stop filing. Partial restoration achieved through documented external pressure is exactly the reason to continue applying that pressure — because the restoration is provably response to pressure, not response to policy correction. Coalition members whose access was NOT restored: your documentation matters even more now. Selective rollback confirms that Roblox and VNG have the technical capability to restore access. Their choice to restore it for some users and not others is documented harm inflicted deliberately on the users left behind. The paper trail continues. The pressure continues. The documentation continues.

THE 180-MINUTE CAP CASCADES INTO LOGIN LOCKOUT — SCREEN TIME ENFORCEMENT EXPANDS COALITION-DOCUMENTED HARM The Vietnamese screen time enforcement imposed on Roblox VNG users is not a single-restriction feature. Documentation surfacing across coalition members and Vietnamese domestic community sources reveals it functions as a multi-stage cascade that terminates in login-level account lockout. The documented cascade: STAGE 1 — 180-MINUTE PLAYTIME CAP Roblox VNG users hit a mandatory 180-minute cap on active playtime. Once the cap triggers, the current session terminates and the user is prevented from initiating additional sessions during the enforcement window. STAGE 2 — POST-CAP SETTINGS AND GAME LIST CORRUPTION Documented via coalition case Senior (@ihaterobloxvngx, Vietnam, published in the main documentation thread): after the 180-minute cap triggers, the account settings menu becomes functionally corrupted. The settings interface displays nothing at all. The accessible game list becomes empty. The account's automatic rejoin attempts to reconnect to the last active session repeatedly and fails. The user is left with an account that cannot access games and cannot access account settings after a temporary time restriction should have ended. STAGE 3 — POST-CAP LOGIN LOCKOUT Newly documented via Vietnamese domestic source (Cộng Đồng Roblox VN Facebook community, July 7 2026): after the 180-minute cap enforcement, users experience login failures lasting multiple days. A Vietnamese user documented playing past the 180-minute mark, returning 3 days later, and being unable to log into the account at all. The screen time cap is not just restricting session length. It is creating downstream account access denial that persists for days beyond the enforcement window itself. WHAT THIS DOCUMENTS Coalition evidence has previously documented the Screen Time Vulnerability at the security layer — the enforcement removes both age gate protection and normal session controls, creating vulnerabilities for affected users (primary source: aradus @4radusfr, Pakistan). The new evidence establishes the enforcement also creates a functional access denial cascade: Cap triggers → Settings menu breaks → Game list empties → Automatic rejoin fails → Days-long login lockout Users experience Stage 1 as intended enforcement. Users experience Stages 2 and 3 as broken account access with no explanation, no support acknowledgment, and no timeline for restoration. Vietnamese users are the primary victims because the 180-minute cap is the Vietnamese domestic enforcement mechanism. International users forced into VNG jurisdiction inherit the same enforcement without notification, consent, or Vietnamese legal residency to justify the enforcement being applied to them. Additional evidence layer: coalition members responding to reply-case publications today (Fan Saba @DuChamacute0876) confirm the 180-minute cap alongside complete communication blockage between Vietnamese and international users, automatic IP address locking, and "digital data held hostage without a way back." The Screen Time Vulnerability documentation cluster continues to expand. Every new evidence layer surfaces additional downstream harm not disclosed to affected users at the point of enforcement. For Vietnamese Consumer Rights authority (bvntd.gov.vn) and Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC): the cascading enforcement pattern violates Vietnamese consumer service adequacy standards independent of the region-lock issue affecting international users. Vietnamese domestic users are the primary victims of the cascade and have direct-jurisdiction standing.

THE WRITTEN COMMITMENTS ROBLOX AND VNG NEVER EXECUTE Every locked-out user has been given the same reassurances in writing over the past months. Automatic detection. Data protections. Human review paths. Support response times. Compensation delivery. None of them execute. Five documented broken commitments, each verified across multiple users, each in writing, each traceable to Roblox or VNG official communications: COMMITMENT 1: "Roblox - VNG will automatically detect and update your regional location." Verified across 5+ users receiving this exact language from Roblox VNG support over the past months. Most recently confirmed in writing this week by a Vietnamese user who received the identical template. Zero cases where automatic detection was actually performed. Region locks remain intact months after the commitment. (Note: The attached screenshot is a public sample of the standard Roblox-VNG support email received by affected users). COMMITMENT 2: VNG Play Store listing declares "No data collected." Full data processing is observable in the application — account routing, behavioral tracking, purchase flow, session state. The Play Store declaration is a false representation to Google's data safety requirements and to every user who checked the listing before downloading. COMMITMENT 3: Human review escalation path. Roblox support publicly represents that escalations move to human review when automated responses do not resolve the issue. In practice, human review only surfaces through non-documented bypass routes — chatbot exploitation via the mobile Account:Hacked flow, or consumer rights framing that forces support into legal-review territory. Users following the documented path never reach human review. COMMITMENT 4: VNG support SLA of 8:00 to 20:00 GMT+7. Currently under real-time test. A verified ID user in the coalition submitted a bug report at 11:05 AM Vietnam time on July 4. VNG's stated support window closes at 20:00. Zero response 48+ hours later, six user-side reminders ignored, mass issue classification confirmed by the user based on peer reports of the same silence. Documented business hours failure across multiple simultaneous cases. COMMITMENT 5: "Robux compensation has been credited to your account." Roblox stated in writing to a Vietnamese user this week that Robux compensation for a Community Guidelines removal had been credited. The compensation was never delivered. The user is VNG-locked with no spending verification access, no dispute mechanism, and only automated Vietnamese-language ticket acknowledgment from Roblox-VNG support pipeline (ticket 175207808 on record). Each commitment above is documented in writing, sourced to Roblox or VNG official communications, and verified across independent users. For regulators, each represents a distinct material misrepresentation of service capability or delivery. For consumer protection authorities, each represents documented deception about the terms and quality of service. For attorneys, five broken commitments verified across independent users is a pattern, not an isolated failure. Pattern equals intent. For every user who was told "please be patient, the system will update automatically" — the system was never going to update. The commitment was the response. The execution was never intended. Full documentation pinned. Complaint guide available in Russian, English, Vietnamese. Coalition Discord for verified affected users: discord.gg/WPHN4YNvW3 @Roblox @VNGCorporation #Roblox #RobloxVNG

@Might_chomik im experiencing the same thing, global roblox version, accounts in vietnam. roblox support has yet to reply, we can only wait until they give a reply, or they fix this on their own

On the website, I can't do anything, not even change the settings. On the app version, I get an HTTP error when I try to enter the game. I tried everything, but nothing changed. And even though I live in Japan, I got put into VNG. WHY DOES ROBLOX HATE ME???????????

@pixelprayer ULTRAKILL, but the graphics were intended so idk if it counts

What game is this ?

@Kayus_yt having the same issue on web and app, roblox support is yet to reply, idk what the fix is

Am i the only one with this issue in Roblox VNG? pls tell me in comments (i'm french btw so that kinda suck)

@lambk005 @xnxkwxd Experiencing same thing, DMED roblox support, hopefully will get a response and update.

@xnxkwxd going around asking people how to fix this bug: i just wanna get to know how to fix this bug dawg since i can't access any games settings or anything can't change account bio or even change avatar bascially i got locked and i can't do anything on it please how to fix this-

THE ROLLBACK IS THE CONFESSION In the past 12 hours, Roblox VNG has begun a broad silent rollback of the July 1 changes. DOCUMENTED IN THE PAST 12 HOURS — Previously blocked games returning to VNG accounts (Rivals, Grow a Garden, Doors, MM2, TTD3, and others). — Screen time enforcement disappearing on some accounts. — Parental controls settings restored. — Content maturity settings restored. — Chat access partially restored for some users. — Roblox client itself experiencing infrastructure errors (HTTP 529, failed page loads, blank settings pages, experiences failing to verify). Sources: multiple domestic Vietnamese users (@DevNamedYooY, @yafy905015, @TapasBlox), non-Vietnamese affected users (@4radusfr, @smg4fan371159), and independent verified aggregator @RblxTracker (13K views on the pattern). WHAT WAS UNANNOUNCED IS NOW UNDONE — ALSO UNANNOUNCED Roblox VNG has issued no communication about the rollback. No email to affected users. No post on Roblox VN Facebook. No update to the Roblox Community forum. No response to the pinned complaint thread. Users are discovering restorations by opening the app and finding what was gone is present again. WHAT THIS ROLLBACK CONFESSES For 72 hours, Roblox and VNG Support told thousands of affected users: "We are not able to process your request as your Roblox account is subject to terms and conditions in Vietnam. You will need to create a new account on Roblox.com." That refusal was issued as a description of a policy binding under Vietnamese jurisdiction. It was framed as a legal impossibility. The rollback proves the opposite: — The games were removable and restorable at will. — The screen time enforcement was toggleable at will. — The account settings were configurable at will. — The chat restrictions were adjustable at will. Every affected user was told the changes were permanent, jurisdictional, and irreversible. Within 72 hours of coordinated public documentation, the changes began reversing. WHAT THE ROLLBACK DOES NOT FIX — Accounts remain locked in the Vietnam region. Users cannot return to the global platform. — Users who were told "create a new account" have not received corrections. — Users with hacker-driven conversions remain refused. — Users outside Vietnam who never consented remain trapped. — The written policy remains unchanged. The refusal wording is still being sent. — No formal acknowledgement, apology, or compensation has been issued to affected users, minors, or high-spend accounts. The rollback restores selected features. It does not restore consent. It does not restore rights. It does not restore accounts to the global platform users originally purchased into. FOR REGULATORS The rollback is direct evidence that: 1. The refusal wording sent to thousands of users misrepresented the technical and policy reality. 2. Roblox and VNG possess and use the ability to unilaterally modify the terms and conditions users are locked under. 3. Silent modifications, in either direction, are administered without user notice or consent. 4. The affected users retain full legal standing regardless of the partial restoration, because the underlying forced migration and refusal to allow platform return remains uncorrected. Existing FTC, California Attorney General, and BBB filings against Roblox Corporation stand. The rollback strengthens them by providing prima facie evidence that the refusal wording was not truthful. FOR AFFECTED USERS If your games returned but your account is still in Vietnam — you are not restored. You are managed. If your case was previously refused and you have not yet filed — the current evidence base is stronger than at any point in the past 72 hours. Complaint guide available in Russian, English, Vietnamese. The rollback is the confession. The refusal to fully reverse is the case that remains. @Roblox @RobloxSupport @VNGCorporation #Roblox #RobloxVNG

@alexnewAccount2 Bugged aswell like this. Games load, can't join em, http error, nothing else loads besides a couple of friends.

Yet for those who in the Vietnamese region who plays Roblox VNG , some players report that the web has been bugged like this which is fine but if you pressed the reload button it still the same and VPN are useless for now . #RobloxVNG #Roblox 😭😭😭

@intuitiveBuni4 having it too, contacted roblox support, just waiting

// does anyone get this too or is it just me

@lambk005 mine loads the games and a couple friends but doesnt let me join em, doesnt load anythin else

@4radusfr i got this btw sighh

How the hell do i get rid of this thing im just tryna play roblox and its not loading app or web (im on global version i got vietnamese after a hack.) #roblox #robloxvng

@sharkiiisss i cant even check them because they bugged my account into EXPERIENCES DONT LOAD and some bs bro with nothing loading

Roblox VNG restored all the things, but still falsely regionlocked.

REGULATOR FILING COUNT: THE PAPER TRAIL IS BUILDING Roblox Customer Support closes tickets. Regulators do not. In the 72 hours since documentation began, affected users across multiple jurisdictions have independently filed formal complaints against Roblox Corporation regarding the VNG forced-migration policy. CONFIRMED FILINGS ON RECORD — @xnxkwxd (Belarus): BBB #24933277 (closed "Business Failed to Respond"), FTC Consumer Report, California Attorney General complaint — @vidyxxs (Russia, $1,000+ spent, 9-figure Jailbreak net worth): FTC + California AG — @4radusfr (Pakistan, $10,000+ spent, ID-verified): FTC — @fleska22 / @Nicrisild22No (Russia): FTC + California AG Additional filings currently in submission from the Russian-speaking coalition: 5 users filing 2 complaints each (FTC + California AG) — one confirmed submitted, four in the next two hours. Total inbound: 10 additional filings before the end of today, with acknowledgement screenshots on file. Running count once tonight's batch completes: 9 users, 15+ formal complaints. WHY THIS MATTERS Each filing is an independent legal record. None were coordinated by Roblox Support. All were filed after refusal. The FTC's Consumer Sentinel database is accessible to federal and state law enforcement across the United States. California AG filings against Roblox Corporation (headquartered in San Mateo, CA) fall under direct state jurisdiction. BBB filings appear permanently on the company's public profile. Independent complaints from separate victims across separate countries — all filed within a single week over identical written policy — is a pattern regulators recognize. THE COMPLAINT GUIDE Step-by-step instructions for FTC, California AG, and BBB filings — full evidence checklist, template complaint text, safety guidance. Three parallel waves of regulatory pressure in three jurisdictions. Russian: docs.google.com/document/d/1Bm… English: docs.google.com/document/d/1Dz… Vietnamese: docs.google.com/document/d/1ma… If your account was wrongfully migrated to VNG and you need help preparing your case — reply or DM. Every filing strengthens the record. The record is what regulators, attorneys, and press will read. @Roblox @RobloxSupport @VNGCorporation #Roblox #RobloxVNG

@TrashRatReal But, if its a passion project, I'm up for it

In desperate need of composers, modelers and animators for my asym game, #AttackOnRobloxia. Im so done with everything going on right now. My lead developer is completely demotivated to work on this project due to the fact we have been getting nowhere, and I'm just so tired.

@TrashRatReal Hi, my names aradus, and I'm a sfx developer also dabbling in a couple other things, I'm also looking for projects so I'd love to be on this project :), my prices are always negotiable, and so are payment types, and sadly I'm chronically online so don't worry abt ghosting lol
