The Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, which oversees the CIA, is using an ADL report to openly threaten Steam (the world’s language gaming platform) that it has to censor language, keywords, and accounts, reminding Steam that is “financially successful” for now. (twitter.com)

Going after steam will probably do the opposite. Itll radicalize a lot of people.. imagine people losing access to a 15 year old account with thousands of dollars of games. Its like if someone murdered your 15 year old child.

Imagine COD players being denied their fix for the day.

I think their messages would have a slur every 3 words in it..

Otoya Yamaguchi was 17 years old when he assassinated that Japanese Communist leader guy on stage. It's the exact age-range you don't want to do this kind of thing to someone.

Lmao, theyve been censoring xbox for a long time.

They been coming after valve for years.

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have mechanisms to share and receive domestic violent extremism threat-related information with social media and gaming companies,” the GAO says. The report reveals that the DHS intelligence office meets with gaming companies and that the companies can use these meetings to “share information with I&A [DHS’s intelligence office] about online activities promoting domestic violent extremism,” or even simply “activities that violate the companies’ terms of service.” Through its 56 field offices and hundreds of resident agencies subordinate field offices, the FBI receives tips from gaming companies of potential law-breaking and extremist views for further investigation. The FBI also conducts briefings to gaming companies on purported threats.

They will give in too.

Laws vary depending on country you live in. Personal information can be given by Valve to official authorities of your country, according to Steam policy.

Again, after reading about this.

In 2014, the Office of Naval Research embarked on a four-year, $3.85 million research program to explore the phenomena it calls premonition and intuition, or “Spidey sense,” for sailors and Marines.

“We have to understand what gives rise to this so-called ‘sixth sense,’ says Peter Squire, a program officer in ONR’s Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare and Combating Terrorism department. Today’s Navy scientists place less emphasis on trying to understand the phenomena theoretically and more on using technology to examine the mysterious process, which Navy scientists assure the public is not based on superstition. “If the researchers understand the process, there may be ways to accelerate it — and possibly spread the powers of intuition throughout military units,” says Dr. Squire. The Pentagon’s focus is to maximize the power of the sixth sense for operational use. “If we can characterize this intuitive decision-making process and model it, then the hope is to accelerate the acquisition of these skills,” says Lieutenant Commander Brent Olde of ONR’s Warfighter Performance Department for Human and Bioengineered Systems. “[Are] there ways to improve premonition through training?” he asks.

What are the chances valve and the government are working together to identify people with strong latent abilities.

I always thought it was strange how the saudi's busted on the scene and bought alot of the top teams and tourneys.

Would be a great way to do it if you ask me!

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/14/us-military-recruiting-video-games-targeting-teenagers

In 2018, the army formed the first military esports team but was accused of unethical recruitment practices in its Twitch stream, including censoring questions about war crimes in its chat and holding a fake Xbox controller giveaway. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proposed a ban on Twitch recruitment that did not pass. The army stopped streaming on Twitch, but gaming recruitment continued.

Prolly just concidences, I admit.

Katie, the 12-year-old, has watched gaming streams from military accounts “once or twice”, though she has not yet seen recruitment ads. She likes playing first-person shooters like Call of Duty, which let players experience combat through their characters’ eyes: “It’s, like, pretty fun to shoot things,” she says. She acknowledges that compared with real warfare, Call of Duty is probably not “100% realistic”, but she adds: “I’m pretty sure you use real guns like how they actually are, and the healing is pretty realistic.”

Lmao, shooting a gun in a game is nothing like shooting a gun in real life, playing games arent gonna train you in firearms.

However, the mechanics are basically the same, point and shoot. So if your a good shot in a video game, chances are your likely very good in real life too. I remember in college they had a army recruiter set up a space on campus for a week. I went in there and gave the gun simulator a go and the guy running the thing acted like he was super impressed or something. I figured they do that with everyone though.

Wont be like that.

People will stop using the community sections because 90% of thoughts will be censored more than likely. (Kinda what the cs2 forums are like, versus something like the starfield forums)

I fully expect valve to give in, afterall they have no problem giving the government peoples steam account info.
