Anza Zafran Utama, a nine-year-old boy in the Indonesian city of Bogor, is either a dinosaur or a shooter when he plays Roblox on his smartphone.
Zafran and his friends regularly hang out on Roblox, the U.S. platform where children can build immersive 3-D worlds and communities and play different characters.
From Saturday, under-16s are set to be restricted from using the platform under new government rules, after officials designated it high-risk.
