More like day 277: had 8000 accounts permanently banned for misgendering me and doxxed 250 accounts that used an offensive slur

Twitter CP? Videos of violent crimes uploaded to Facebook? Literal terrorists use a shared Hotmail account to coordinate? All business as usual.

Someone calls someone a fag on CoD voice chat? Bring in the Department of Fatherland Security!

“Game developers in general—from small, independent studios to billion-dollar multinational corporations—have lagged in awareness of how extremists may attempt to exploit their games, and how their communities can be targeted for radicalization.” Money well spent, of course.

On a side note, in a VICE article linked inside, they manage to mention GamerGate by the end, so if you had your bingo card ready, you just scored at least once.

So a woman and her friends are going to sit around getting fatter in front of a computer screen while bitching online about how video games they've never played won't let them win.

See also how every sports league changes the rules to further criminalize real defense the SECOND something actually works.

Working hard for your points? Can't have that.

I would say the DHS was a mistake, but that would absolve them of the responsibility they bear for what was in all likelihood malice.

Same thing with some NGOs that pretend to care about one cause or another. They do little more than talk about it since actually fixing anything (as long as their area of interest is indeed fixable and not a complete grift) would end their self-issued (or sometimes less so) mandate.

The answer to that question is rooted in rulership laws. For many countries, it is illegal to perform certain espionage or counterintelligence acts on your own people. But it isn't illegal to ask your ally to do it for you, while you do the same for them. In all likelihood, British people are wondering the same as you about specific American companies that occur surprisingly frequently.

Must be also why Israel is always projecting propaganda at us
