Shares of Roblox fell after a watchdog in the Netherlands said it was investigating whether the company's platform poses risks to underage users in Europe.

Roblox shares fell 11% to $67.52 midday Friday. The stock last 46% of its value in the past 6 months.

The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets said it was investigating Roblox under the Digital Securities Act, which requires platforms to protect users from illegal or harmful contact, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Roblox didn't immediately respond to the Journal's request for comment.

The investigation is expected to last around one year, the ACM said.
