Told you retards this was coming. Enjoy your drm client.
Last time for posting it but it doesn't matter if you ID up or CC or whatever they still block the community hub if you don't own the game.
>>719338712It's coming for every platform, storefront, etc. The objective will be to tie photo-id to every and all game shit.
>>719338712>mature gamesI don't care.

>>719339354I never said it wasn't. OP left out a pretty fucking important detail, people will assume its photo shit again when it's not. Case in point as I type this. >>719339707I do think the internet as we know/knew it is fucked.I've been pointing out countries all over are planning or doing this ID shit, but all you see are people with blinders on seeing it only happen in the UK and ignoring the signs on their own fucking countries. It's insane.
>>719338903>bongslawlle chairman mao even
>UKlol
>>719339690It's a global app, the only people arrested for hate speech will be in the UK.
>>719339825Democracy and free speech have been eroding for 10-15 years because governments want to micromanage people's lives and police literally every aspect of life that doesn't need to be
>>719340012Just don't be antisemitic.
>need ID to buy games>now Steam knows who I amOh noes.
>>719340134Just don't make edgy jokes, comment on a woman's look, criticize politicians or consume non government approved media
>buy physical game on console>50 years later you can still play it>buy steam game license >your OS isn't supported? can't play>steam decided to fuck you over? say goodbye to your gamesand you'll still applaud and choke on gabe's cock to thank him for killing game ownership on pc
UK is an authoritarian 3rd world shithole
>>719338712just dont live in a shithole gg ez
>>719340276>>your OS isn't supported? can't playjust switch to Linux
>>719340134Tell Jews to stop making people antisemitic
>>719339825Never mind, they fucking changed it to credit card only now.Stupid way to do this really, not everybody has a credit card.
>>719340276>have games on Steam made for DOS>can still play on Windows 11 (with minimal finagling)Maybe you're just gay.>"b-but I mean I have to upgrade from a 30 year old OS!"Sorry you're poor. That's who consoles are marketed to, not PCs.
>>719338712GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
>>719340146Yeah if you've used your card to buy from Steam then I don't think it should be a issue, I wonder if this would still affect a account that's 18 years old but has only ever used redeemable steam cards.
>>719338712steam was the source of all drm
>>719340721SecuROM came out in 1998.
>>719340721>SecuROM and StarForce were just collective delusions we all shared
>>719340721>implying Steam was the first DRM system to be implementedRetarded or just young.
>>719338712What platform should people use instead? Or is the goal here not necessarily to be useful but rather to shit on steam
>>719340302UK and Australia are the worse ones out of the developed countries but free speech has been eroding in all countries, if the process isn't stopped and reversed we'll all end up like them eventually
>>719341073I think you know the answer to this, anon.
>>719341000Any platform is either gonna have to comply or get geolocked
>>719341000the secondary,this is what those kind of threads are always about anon
>>719340276Who wants to tell him?
Games that don't show pornographic stuff in preview images and trailers like Kaguragames stuff aren't affected yet. Otherwise, AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>719338712Steam doesn't even want your id though you fear mongering subhuman retarded niggers. It just asks for your credit/debit card, which you already give steam anyways if you use the platform to buy games.Age confirmation shit is retarded and shouldn't be a thing but steam is actually doing all it can to sidestep it because storing poeple's ID is not in their interests at all, it's way too much responsibility and waste of storage space for no gain.
>>719341132What answer? I'm just stating facts
>>719341261Can't use the internet without an account anymore
>>719338965tendie spotted
>>719338712Well yeah, obviously Steam is going to follow UK laws for UK users
>>719341201>people shouldnt own things because their house could burn down :(
>>719341261Debit card sadly stopped working. CC only now which most of the UK doesn't fucking have.
>>719341201I use gog and everything is on an external
>>719338712Here in Germany, the government also demanded that Steam puts a better adult verification method. However, all Steam did was completely IP-banned Germany from adult games, so we can't even see the pages anymore. Why does steam make an exception for the UK now?
>>719340276>what are scratches/wear and tear/losing said items/any other way they could get damaged>>719341201You are also a fucking retardYou need to use both physical and digital if you truly want to preserve games, it's not and either or situation.
You literally made an account on a centralized platform that requires you to connect to their servers for authorisation so they let you play "your" games. What else did you expect?
>>719341420For burgers, "debit cards" are indistinguishable as they use credit card payment processors. I believe european stuff is something totally different.
>actual steam account is over 18>bought porn before (libra heart)>can still download, install and play themThis is all very silly.
>>719341206wait it the only verification a credit card? who already doesn't have card connected to steam?
>>719341545>mThis is the level of poor that protests Steam in 2025.
>>719340721>steam haters are literally retarded
>>719338712>Enjoy your drm client.Digital shit is tariff immune. Cope physical only Ameritards.
>>719341606Me, I don't want to have my card saved onto steam. I don't save my card to other online market stores either even if I frequently use them.
>>719341660No physical games (the 3 that are still made) are currently tariffed as far as I know.
>corporation complies with law it's forced to comply with in the country the law exists in>let's blame the company instead of the country who made the law
I don't get it, brits are some of the most loud-mouthed and arrogant people out there, yet they bend over backwards for their nanny-state government
>>719338712>the UKKEK They've never recovered since they lost to us in 1775
>>719341828Those who despise Steam don't use logic, please understand.
Why don't you want to give your information to private companies?You aren't some data terrorist, are you?
>>719338712You can use ny random image to bypass btw
>>719341828Steamies schizo is still mad that>he got a VAC ban he claims was for using FRAPS, even though FRAPS was used by everyone forever until it wasn't relevant>Steam is forcing him to upgrade from Windows 2000, which is unfair in 2025>CS2 won't run on his potato>he's poor>he's brownAsk him what country he's from. He'll never answer.
piratesoft wins again
>>719341840brits are all al bundy from married with children>OI>WE HAD A FOOKIN EMPIRE M8>WE CONQUERED MOST OF THE WORLD U CHEEKY GITmeanwhile they're a slave/conquered state and all fat and stupid>but the burg-The burgers that left for america, got there, took over, killed the natives, and then kicked the brits out after they tried the "GIVE YER FADDER HIS SHARE LAD" shit? Those burgers?>tfw you realize the brits are like this because al the people with balls left for the new world, leaving only the fat cattle that accepted the monarchy
>>719338712>anon predicted that steam would follow britbong laws if they wanted to make money in britbong land You must be rich being this smart.
>>719342029Bongs especially hate that the French helped us as revenge for the Seven Years War.
>>719339740Another weird thing how steam just does whatever they are forced to do under the threat of bankruptcy from payment processors.
>>719338712The hell is going on with Brits? They seem to be scared of their own flag
>>719338965This is only the beginning. >we cant verify that nsfw content isnt being snuck into content previously deemed appropriate for all ages, so every user who uses a home network must identify themselves with ID before we allow you to connect to the internetSee this in 4 years if we don't stop it.
>>719338712>law changes>company complies with said lawNOOOOO HOW COULD THEY??!time to channel all my outrage towards this video game company and definitely not the government and corporate interest groups
>>719341606>who already doesn't have card connected to steam?The fewer places I have my card 'saved' onto the better. Only place I keep them at are for my bills
>>719339354Yeah, and you deserve it because you think it's Steams job to fix your retarded government for you.
>>719338712The silver lining to this is that since Steam is mostly just a platform to buy shit, you've always needed an account and probably already put your credit card on there anyway. But any website that hosts UGC that isn't a store is going to get screwed.>>719341524Because they can see the writing on the wall that this is coming everywhere. The EU is already rolling out their own version, as has Australia, and half of US states have already passed their own laws with national versions on the Senate and House tables as we speak. They won't be able to just block the entire western hemisphere, that's at least half their business.
See what happen when you let the eternal anglo do anything.
>>719341654I think the rationale is that steam is a locus of chuddidity and place of refuge from globalist propaganda
>>719340276>buy physical games>they kindof vanish or get destroyed over the years>buy digital games>haven't lost a single one I think I'll keep going with the safer and more convenient route, because I live in the real world, not theory land. Also because I know that data on a plastic disc is in no way different from data on my hard drive, but that's something you are too retarded to understand.
I look forward to PSN and XBL adding this to their shit, assuming they haven't already.
>>719342202Why is he talking about rope a lot?
>>719341606>who doesn't already have a facebook?>who doesn't already have their face and full name online? >what's the big deal anyway?
This dude is quite literally an enemy of humanity right now.
>>719341524Maybe it's easier to follow the UK regulations than whatever nightmare the German bureaucracy has cooked up.
>>719342334I never wanted someone as dead as this subhuman.
>>719341970>Windows 2000who the fuck...
>Account is close to 20 years old>They still want proof I'm over 18
>>719342334I seriously hope he gets his. Fuck this piece of shit.
>>719342328If you're buying Steam cards with cash, you're underage or insane. Everyone has a credit card on file with Steam at this point unless all they play is F2P shit, and they should be executed anyway.So, your argument is:>why should this company who knows who I am due to repeat transactions in my name...know who I am?
>>719342289Because rape is a crime and bad my shitskinned friend.
>>719339747 >Voting for a zionist to own the libtards Good job imao.
>>719339086why the fuck would i care if thiel of all people had a puppet? making everyone get an internet loicense isn't one of his hobby horses
>>719342334Who the hell is this guy. I thought you guys were being ruled by an Indian after the last guy got exposed
>>719338712Why do websites implement these measures themselves? If I was Gaben I'd tell the UK to go pound sand and make the censorious measures themselves. Outside the website.
>>719342289It's about migrant criminality, specifically asylum seeker criminality.Rape rates are significantly up "thanks" to the refugee flood across the channel, but saying that is /DISINFORMATION/, because it doesn't fit the left-wing worldview.>>719342334Yes, he is a Socialist. What did you expect?
>>719342334damn, that's a "politician stare" if I ever saw onepupils focused on the line going up behind you
>>719342414We're reaching such an insane level of absurdity that we're currently arguing about the age of someone, real or not, based entirely on feelings.
>>719342531the Indian was actually an American plant and he couldn't deal with all the British people
>>719338712How the fuck were you buying games on steam before in the UK if you didn't have a credit card?
>>719342531A pedo who is into ukrainian boys, and married to a jewish woman. Brits still voted him.
>>719338712The fact that there aren't SOPA/PIPA-level protests against these forced ID laws proves that people have completely turned into docile cattle in basically just one decade. So much shit they're just getting away with now that would have gotten a near nuclear-level response from pre-2010 people. Arguably the internet itself is partially responsible for this as it accelerated oversocialization dramatically. Social media made people addicted to upcummies, and sticking your neck out against the system isn't how you get upcummies from the cattle.
>>719342580>pupils focused on the line going up behind youHe's a brit politician, the line he's looking at is either crashing down, or it's the statistic for gangrapes.
>>719342334we need a Luigi
>few more western countries (five eye faggots) decide to enact the same laws>every tech company forces it on every other western country, regardlessit's happening whether you like it or not
>>719342636Debit card and paypal.
>>719338712>UKnot my problem, the same already exists in the Chinese client
>>719341139Wrong, faggot. Both Apple and 4chan are sueing the UK government because of this dystopian ID bullshit. This is basic WEF control and monitoring and it's up to us to not comply, otherwise it's coming to every single country in the world.
>>719338712Yaawn fucking stupid normies that think they can own the internet. It always gets me all these incompetent soccer moms thinking this can solve the problem. Apparently bitcoin is really going to be useful one day.
>>719342665whocar ur phon spiy on u already bruh
First they tried to use useful idiot liberals to ban everything, now they're using basic morals to ban everything so no one can fight back without looking like a freak>dude a kid shouldn't be playing a game where you can bash a hooker's skull in especially if it's online>dude that anime child is naked, we're obviously banning that bro
>>719342698People use paypal still? I've only ever heard of e-celebs using it for donations and *cringes* e-commerce for buyer protection.
>>719338712What other option does Steam have? It's a legal requirement, the bongistani voted for the people who passed the law. What's the alternative, Steam doesn't comply and therefore has to stop operating in the UK, thus all the bongistani lose access to the games they paid for? They don't have any choice but to comply.
>>719342665>proves that people have completely turned into docile cattle in basically just one decadeCovid was the testing ground. More than half of the western world demanded draconian lockdowns and second class treatment of unvaxxed individuals.
>>719341828retarded argument, do you think companies usually let countries rape their margins in the western world? the likes of apple, google etc will drag court cases for years before shit gets ruled against them and they have no choice but to comply or refuse to do business in said countryyet every single corporation is bending their asses to comply with this retarded rulingfucking 4chan is appealing against this shit, do you really think there is anything stopping valve from launching a similar anti government lawsuit?
>>719342436Are you sure he was talking about rape? He put an asterisk there, so it could be ripe or rope.>>719342408Steamies schizo posts a lot. He tends to post the WEF "you will own nothing and be happy" guy, like he did here: >>719340276. He also tends to use the same talking points:>steam forces upgrades from ancient OSes nobody in the first world still runs outside of point of sale machines>steam takes 30% from the developer, which you should care about>CS2 replaced CS:GO, and I'm mad (though CS:GO is still available)>I got VAC banned for using FRAPS>steam invented loot boxes>steam invented paid mods>steam has casinos for childrenHe loves children, as proven by>Nintendo is the good guyHe makes threads several times a day every day. I cornered him on the Windows 7 support being dropped, and he actually admitted he uses 2000.He's not American, and by the fact that he'll never tell you what country he's from, I'm guessing South American or eastern yuropeeing. Western yuropoors will proudly declare Germany, UK, or whatever.He moves goalposts and lies constantly, shilling GOG, Epic, and Nintendo nonsensically.The reality is he's poor and it drove him insane. He'd shoot up a school if his country had them.
>>719342779>dude that anime child is naked, we're obviously banning that broOh we've reached much worse now>dude that character is a child because I said so
>>719341201>live in house made of paper and cardboard>surprisedpikachuface.jpg
>>719338712Shouldn't my debit card already confirm my age?
>>719342560That's why you're not Gaben.UK is big enough that if you want to hold onto your principles and exit the market, you'll not only earn the ire of your british customers (they'll blame you instead of their government), but you'll also leave a vacuum that your less-ideological competitors can fill and prosper in.
>>719338712jokes on them my steam acc is over 18same with youtube and all the other shit lol
>>719342803The latter. They did it for Russia.
>>719342897Sir please stop directly raping children by not giving us all of your personal and private information. Think of the children.
>>719339247credit cards, it doesn't work with a debit card, which makes sense because children and teenagers can get debit cards
>>719339707Who are you using for this when this comes to America, gmod bros?
>>719342803see >>719342845 retard, do you really think valve has zero leverage against this or cant delay enforcement through courts?hell refusing UK steam service might get dormant retards off their asses to actually do something in person
>>719341917>>719342029>>719342119Genuine retards. The country is already fighting back, and so is 4chan. The UK government demanded that 4chan require ID verification, otherwise they'd be fined 20k a day, and instead of complying like pussy companies like Steam, they responded with legal action explaining that they wouldn't comply because 4chan is an American company, and they're now suing the UK government. Instead of joking about this shit, you should be boycotting steam and complaining to the retards running it.
>>719342803If gabe had any balls he'd literally stop doing business in the UK, and have steams UK pages just have a big block of text: "Where are my games? "Thank your government. <Explanation of law>
>>719341606Steam is the last place I want to keep my credit/debit card information saved, and not being able to use PayPal has been a massive pain in the ass since they removed the option in my country.
>>719342993source?
>>719342993>boycotting steam>when there's no comparable alternativeProof /v/ doesn't actually play games.
>>719342993>The UK government demanded that 4chan require ID verification, otherwise they'd be fined 20k a daySeriously, how does that work? Is big brother Starmer so warped he thinks the whole world should obey his ass?
>>719342560Because every nation is doing it
>>719342712It's the WEF playbook; the current UK government is run by their puppets and it'll be coming to the EU and America soon enough.
>>719342993>The country is fighting back! My example is a website that's not based in the UK.Show me the country doing anything. No for real, I'd love to see it. I wan't the bongs to pull themselves back up.
>>719343090evidently he is right because every single mutt corporation slurped his cock and implemented digital ids to harvest data

(Not sure how much that is actually the case though but that's what online vendors promise.)
>>719342913Gaben should tell the UK government to go fuck themselves and sue, like 4chan has.
Oh yeah is that /v/ thread again, where people complain about X but they don't do shit and call everyone a glownigger. Keep sitting in the chair while Visa and mastercard fuck your waifu cuck

>>719341840there have actually been widespread protests lately focused on spray painting saint george flags everywhere.I've seen a shit tonne driving through towns, even on vans and shit.
>>719342435I don't want them to my card information because they get hacked semi frequently at minimum and all the time possibly at worst. That's why I've only ever used temp-card info from my bank for safe transactions, that only works for a singular transaction.
>>719343090He's just the puppet; it's been around for a long time, but amendments to make the bill more draconian have been funded by the ex director of ofcom, who now runs one of the companies involved with verifying the id for these websites.
>>719342845>yap yap yap retarded shitSteam makes more money continuing to sell to bongistan while complying with their fagtarded law than they would burning money on lolsuits.
>>719342119We aren't. The government is just full of stooges on payrolls. And they'll do anything to fuck everyone else over to keep their pockets lined. Sometimes even each other.All of them should be sentenced to life in prison.Or have their personal details leaked.

Can't wait for then to use peoples Steam library as probable cause to search their homes and seize all their devices
>>719342938Didn't they do it for Russia because the sanctions and other legal enforcement coming from various governments ended up blocking payments and forced them into doing it, EXACTLY how the bongistani law is forcing them to do it this time as well?>>719342971>>719343013You seem to be confusing a video game shop with a political activism organization. Steam's job is to sell games and then make them available to their customers.
>>719343202Sue? Sue for what? He wants to do business of selling software licenses in the UK, he has to follow UK laws.4chan is different because this site isn't doing business in the UK, it's just accessible there because they haven't implemented their own great firewall yet.
>>719338712How is this different from me using my card to buy games on Steam or using my card to pay for a subscription service?

I don't use steam though, except for a couple of online only games. Pirated games are easier with gog-games, STEAMRIP and rutracker or rutor if I'm REALLY desperate to find an obscure game.I run linux so everything is running through a flatpak on heroic games launcher so the game executables dont have access to my system files or internet.Also my game library is fully backed up both on SSD and bluray and I got over 1000+
>>719341201>Posts a satirical website to try and make a pointYikes sweetie, oof
>>719342993>The UK government demanded that 4chan require ID verificationEntirely different matter. The bongistani cannot demand anything of 4chan because 4chan does not operate any business in Airstrip One, therefore they can only cry and shit themselves while writing letters as their laws do not apply to 4chan in any way. They have no way to fine or punish 4chan either, 4chan is just some random company in an entirely separate country. Steam does most certainly operate a business there so the situation is entirely different because they CAN enforce their shitty laws in their own country.
>>719343879>maybe alive is... le BAD!!!This but unironically. End all society NOW.

>>719338712Look at their gay police force. Their police are literally gay for black and brown criminals.
>>719343574obviously they're going to be, its seen as more sociably acceptable to support them.it's kind of crazy that the english flag has become co-opted as a symbol of the far-right within the UK and has become such a divisive topic when you think about it.

>>719341206>16yo can legally fuck and vote in the UK>NOOOOOOOOOO YOU MUST PROVE YOU ARE OVER 18 TO VIEW FICTIONAL ADULT CONTENTwhy are britbongs like this?
>>719344043>Its more socially acceptable to fly another countries flag than your ownThe fuck?
>>719338712>be german>unrated and AO games don't even appear in the store>no age verification system at all

>>719344115Is this a humiliation ritual?
>>719341261I don't have a credit card or debit card and I pay for my vidya either through paypal or through atm by filling the steam wallet.Not in the UK, but this shit's annoying.Any chance old accounts get leeway here?
>>719344243Because they're coming for (you) next.
Doesn't it just require you to link a credit card to your account?It's ridiculous that this wasn't already a thing.The only people upset are underage.
>>719344146because the st george flag in particular has become associated with the far right or right-leaning political views (which working class tradies tend to be aligned with).the Red, White and Blue UK flag doesn't have this association, the closest comparison would be the difference between the american flag and the confederate flag.
So does this still happen if you have an 18+ year Steam badge?
>>719343226>Room temp niggers can't take out their cash out of the banks, neither know how to pirateFucking embarrassing
>>719344445yes
>>719344115A small mob could defeat the entire UK's police force with sharpened sticks.
>>719342167>and probably already put your credit card on there anywayI dont put my card on services like that, I only buy steam cards to add to my wallet. Remember 10 or so years ago when Steam fucked up royally and scrambled everyone's debit card info, so when you logged in your account had a random other user's card info, and yours was sent to another random user like a Mario Party Chance Time. In principle, I shouldn't need to provide my personal bank and payment information to prove an age for a product. Really, I shouldn't need to do anything at all other than agknowladge that I am over 18 by a sinple checkbox, and if I am lying then the liability should fall on me as the user, not the company. Parents, parent your damn kids, don't make it my problem and monitor their media access. It's significantly more feasible than people think.
>>719341524>Here in Germany, the government also demanded that Steam puts a better adult verification method. However, all Steam did was completely IP-banned Germany from adult games, so we can't even see the pages anymore. Why does steam make an exception for the UK now?Steam didn't just remove adult games for germans entirely. Steam also had to remove around +40% of the entire library of Steam games because foreign and old games require bureaucracy with the german government in order to get an age rating and if you don't do this any product is automatically "porn", so it cannot be legally sold. It purged so many old games and foreign games. It's absolutely insane how overreaching the UK, EU and Germany have become, especially now that they can force Microsoft to install trojans on people's PC and shit, which they are currently debating on making mandatory for anyone using Windows/Android/iOS in the EU.
>>719338965>>719338984>>719339052>>719339121I don't care if it's bait you people are retarded either way
>>719344129Because they theoretically don't keep your info on handIt's the difference between showing your ID at the liquor store top buy some booze and the liquor store keeping a copy of said ID on record.Which is why people bringing up the "well you gotta give your ID to go to a strip club irl" example are retarded.
>>719344565No mob ever enters forcefully any important building to behead anyone who signs their deathsPeople are educated to bow down to "what is right" believing the system works and they only have to ask hard enough for problems to be fixedThey are as good as dead, they never stopped being peasants at the end of the day

>>719338712Why is the UK being such faggots about "protecting children"?

>>719344884Mods? MODS!This man is publicly stating his intent to rape children! MODS?!?!THE UK WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS!
>>719344884In theory but the majority of services block VPNs from registering accounts or giving VPN uses any room that could lead to damage, including Steam when processing payments. Like whenever you register an account with discord, youtube, gmail, steam, etc with a VPN, you will be required to verify it with your identity somehow, like your phone number.
>>719344661But once you use your card to pay for something on Steam it's already in their system. It's not like it gets deleted. It stays there for them to bring it up whenever they want to.

>>719338712I'm still shocked companies are complying.Its up to the UK to enforce it on their citizens. If a website or service chooses not to comply, the UK will have to block it. What are they going to do, try and fine them? They can simply not pay as long as they aren't based in the UK. Treat the shithole of Britain like any other third world country. Its like Nigeria telling companies it will fine them infinity dollars if they don't comply. Who fucking cares.Good on Wikipedia and 4chan for telling the UK to get fucked. Fuck Steam and all the others who are complying.
>>719339012>he thinks laws like that are not coming in the whole world

>>719345183> Under the UK Online Safety Act, Valve is required to verify that you are 18 or older before accessing mature sexual content. If you wish to do so, please add a valid UK credit card to your account and afterwards update the Mature Content Preferences.

>>719345274The bad thing is that you have to keep your credit card on file

>>719344783Always has been, whole country is full of authoritarian pearl clutchers. Even before this law was passed ISPs and mobile carriers have been implementing an opt out filter that blocks adult sites unless you verify your age, but they decided that even that wasn't cucked enough.
>>719342938Steam only stopped accepting money from russian banks, other purchase methods still work. Everything else is fully functional. Nobody lost prior access to anything.Some publishers region-locked new purchases of their games but that has nothing to do with legal sanctions, just virtue signaling.

>>719338712I don't fucking have a credit card. I use a debit card and PayPal. I already own a bunch of NSFW games on Steam too.
>>719345142The power here is literally in everyone BUT the UK's hands.Because all you have to do is not pay. Let the UK force a block on the website and the company can say: See the UK government blocked our website, we didn't. If you want it back, kill a few politicans... I mean write your MP.Its that simple. They have no recourse to enforce this if you're not based there. And who the fuck is putting servers in the UK?

>>719341206This only affects unrated games marked as adult only, PEGI 18 games are still fully viewable without any age verification, at least for now. You can any GTA game but a non-porn game like Dungeon Travelers 1? No dice, its all fucking retarded.

>>719341261>It just asks for your credit/debit card, which you already give steam anyways if you use the platform to buy games.What if I exclusively use PayPal and prepaid gift cards? What if I don't want my bank details to be saved on Steam at all times (which is required for this retarded verification, its not a one time thing), you double nigger?
>>719341261I will NEVER attach a real card to Steam in case they ever get hacked, not worth the hassle
>>719345771Unless UK cuck demands it.... possible. lmao
>>719345765So about what I was thinking.I would assume that for example, Ireland would have paypal as a payment method.
>>719345703Meanwhile adults who only have a debit card are just fucked whereas kids use their parents credit card like they always have.Absolutely fucking retarded
>>719344580>Parents, parent your damn kids, don't make it my problem and monitor their media accessTo give them some leeway here, with prices and housing being so high and wages being so low often forcing both parents to have a job to be able to provide, it is genuinely very difficult for them to be able to be there and monitor them to the level needed. Daycares and nannies often don't give a shit, and schools often tell the kids to go against their parents anyway (or they learn it through their peers). Kids now probably spend around a third of their childhood at most around their parents these days.
Any bong anons out there that didn't buy Stellar Blade and having done this or a work aroundCan you check if you can see the storepage?

>>719344748Ben was a massive coomer, as most of the men in his position throughout historyYou think coomers started with the internet?
>>719345458I'm sorry if this upsets you but it's the truth. If you live in a society you are not free. You are bound by laws and customs. You do have a certain degree of freedom as long as you aren't an active detriment to society in the eyes of the ruling class but living in a society means trading liberty for safety. Hell, you don't even have full bodily autonomy and I'm not talking about abortions.
>>719339012It's coming to the US, too. In my state, certain porn websites are blocked due to photo ID laws. Since those websites don't want to bother with that shit, they just block my entire state.
>>719345696The meme manifested, lmao.
>>719345894When will you retards realize its never been about the kids. Its not about the kids now, its not about the kids in the past, and it won't be in the future.Its so they can normalize you being tied to your real identity online at all times, and take shit down they don't like. They're already censoring protest videos using this law.If zero Karens advocated for this, they would still be doing this. Its just easier to sell because they exist, but they aren't the ones pushing for it.
>>719346030Surely there's other games that rank as mature and aren't just straight up porn. I can't think of any examples off the time of my head>>719346057Nah. But it does ask you for your age if you visit its Steam page through a browser so, I figured it might get caught in the check.There's a few pages that aren't porn games that do that, but it may be they've got different settings based on age requirements for the game. I don't know since I've always been 18 years old when viewing Steam so I literally never lied to good ol' Gaben about my age.
>>719346030>ORC MESSAGElmao
I've never had a card attached to Steam. When they were forced to calculate sales tax on purchases a few years back they wanted CC information like name, address, etc. You could fill it with nonsense as long as you gave them the correct state/province. Hell you could probably lie about that too and get away with it. Valve doesn't want to do any of this. You could probably find a random UK credit card in a data leak somewhere and put in the info and they'll accept it for age verification. As long as you never try to use it to purchase games of course, which would open a whole other can of worms since now you're committing fraud.
>>719346116This. It's just like how the patriot act was never really about "fighting terrorism." It was about stripping citizens of their right to privacy.
>>719346202>ImageThey actually never ended up doing that becasue it was unworkable, was hoping the same would happen with this bs
>DRM clientThis has nothing to do with DRM nor is it Steam's decision. They're dealing with shitty laws in the UK (and coming to the US if the trump dump and the rest of the enabling faggotry continues). Its amazing the dilution of Anonymous since the arrival of tourists; in the old days people would be near universally against censorship online and especially to vidya. Fighting back against this means putting an end to corporate overreach and the stooges they use to weaponize this shit against people they don't like. Its a quagmire of busybodies, greedy and gutless corpos, and gov't stooges that can be lobbied to do invasive things to >WONT SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN with whatever the boogeyman of the day happens to be.

Join the EFF and ACLU who are both against this stuff, FSF is more tech-autism but usually on the right side for /g/entoomen. There are upcoming May Day protests - go and get people aware of these issues if they're not. Push for better privacy laws; we're 30 years out out of date on privacy laws meant for a digital age and that's specifically because the data miners and advertisers and the rest prefer it that way. Don't fall into >TEH GOOBERMINT bullshit when its these corpos and censorious private fuckers who keep throwing money at the broken system we have and they want you mad, dumb, and raging against anything that makes your life better (privacy laws and healthcare?

>>719345305They are one of the few oldmoney countries that never had a real successful revolution. Partly due to how power was centralized, with scotland and wales being impoverished and used as scapegoats. They had bloody civil wars, one lasting a hundred years, but it was always nobility vs nobility or nobility vs the monarchy.Its barely been a hundred years since actual commoners truly had a fair right to represent.All the people you see like keir starmer n co are privately funded from birth to death.I will remind you that the only actual commoner who has led britain (And thats debatable) was Gordon Brown.And he only got in by being vetted by Blair
This is all because the parents of some zoomer that killed herself because of a fucking Tiktok or something lobbied the government btw.Hope that retarded bitch is burning in hell for indirectly instigating the Online Safety Act with her actions and ruining the internet forever
>>719345953>>719346030Also games that are technically sold as non-lewd and have offite patches are still visible.
>>719345305If you think this is bad, wait until the EU rolls out its shit that it has been planning since 2014 and every year their plans keep partially passing. The UK, by comparison, is tame. The EU will roll out EUID in 0-2 years, which is a digital wallet where everything about your identity is stored (licenses, pictures, payments, transactions, etc), which requires a non-rooted android phone, which will replace the VideoID that will roll out in the coming months. Afterwards they're tackling decrypting HTTPS traffic on the frankfurt exchange node by MITM'ing the entire european traffic using root CA's issued by the local governments. That only works if you would accept those in your browser and operating system, but funny story about, they are already legally forcing Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari and Windows to not warn users about your encrypted connection breaking up at the frankfurt exchange and being replaced with an EU-SSL they can decrypt, they in fact are obligated to mislead users about SSL certificates, so you can't even verify them anymore. By 2030 the EU has planned to completely abolish any form of end-to-end encryption using this system, which they call eIDAS and QWACS (you can look it up, there will be a lot of articles and this has pretty much already passed).Right now the EU is currently debating on whenever every person in the EU should have a trojan installed on their PC and device ie rolling it out with every update and sale, which will remotely extract information and will continue to collect evidence when you're offline, because companies like Microsoft and Google are legally required to do so.https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

>>719345838Then go kill and rape your government officials I guess. This whole thing is retarded in the first place, steam is just trying to do the bare minimum so people are the least inconvenienced.
>>719346649You're absolutely correct in everythingToo bad it wont happen, by how the world is moving it feels like we're entering a neo dark ages era

And the news won't talk about the people who get fucked by it and round and round we fucking go.Kill your local politician.

>>719346357Apparently no. I wasn't saying they did, but I'm not a bong so couldn't check
>>719346649Violence by some retard does nothing but hasten these laws faster. You'll be used as a scapegoat. You'll become proof that the government NEEDS to protect us from psychos like you.

>>719341313><compliment> spottedGreat post.
>>719347085I never said you did? Not the same guy you were arguing with, just correcting you.

>>719345445I actually went and tried to look for it but I can't find it. I found 1 story where the girl looks exactly like the one in the crop called "Futari no Rakuen/Our Paradise" but that panel is not in it so it's not the one. It's actually annoying me now.
>>719347050>Hes in birmingham right now.Wonderful! at least, we don't speak German! This is just BONUS!
>>719346701You either sink or swim, they don't care about inclusion anymore. I quit my job this month and they literally don't even let you get on unemployment benefits in my state anymore unless you have a non-rooted phone that supports their app, same goes for my insurance. They just don't let you file any paper documents, nor even if you appear personally for a meeting, because then they'll just refuse talking to you because "that's not your the phone linked to your identity". Everybody, even physically disabled people have to install and use the app to get their shit done.>>719347018That's not how it works you intellectually dishonest retard. Steam is doing the bureaucracy for the partner account because they're nice, but you still have to fill out the form yourself specifically for the german market or otherwise it is legally classified as pornography. The fact that if you live in the philippines and you release a game on Steam already means you have to fill this out just for the german market is completely insane and tyrannical. Imagine if you had to ask for approval from Trump whenever you sold a german car in germany.
>>719347067And what do you propose we do?Vote harder?Its a studied and verified fact that what the populace wants on any given issue has zero impact on what the government does. Zero.The system needs to be brought down. Politicians need to be afraid of their constituents. Political office should be a dangerous position. If its not, then they will do what they want and fuck what you want.One lone politician being brained isn't going to do anything but hasten more restrictions. A bunch of them being brained will send the message we're tired of being stepped on.
>>719346649>I have never, not once, seen a protest achieve its goalsThat's because you're both stupid and uneducated, peaceful protest is the most certain way to implement change, but it takes time and work

>>719347267Post a protest that has achieved its goals that isn't 70 years old.Post one that wasn't actively encouraged by segments of the government.I'll wait.
>>719347439Over a million of those guys were killed. Do you have a million armed soldiers in your back pocket?
>>719347353We made the mistake of making the internet interesting to normies when they were still bullying us for being on it. The internet became total fucking ass when phones by 2014 completely normalized it. I'd have normies bully me for a nerd again than deal with Ursula's 30 year long censorship masterplan
>>719345401Is a debit card not the same as a credit card? One just puts an I O U, the other withdraws money directly from your bank. Both require a bank account. Why are they insisting on credit cards? Not everyone wants to take on debt.
>>719346649>never once seen a protest achieve its goalsYou know this isn't true, right? Otherwise you'd still be working like a gilded age child slave. Both social and economic issues have been handled via protest; there's a huge history of labor advocacy that pushed for many of the things that we consider bare minimums today, like weekends or 8 hour workdays. Hell, the TPP failed due to pushback and protest over its invasive closed door lobbying and provisions that would have forced everyone to bend the knee locally to international corpo demands. SOPA/PIPA and similar laws were tabled thanks to the Internet collectively pushing against this sort of shit - you should remember the blackouts if you were really here during that time. Restrictions and censorship of Section 230 got pushed back as well. Lots of War on Terror bullshit, including demands that e2e encryption be made illegal came from a combination of popular protest and legal advocacy. Going all the way back to the Clipper Chip / Vchip provision for PCs and TV in the 90s were put down due to popular outcry. Hell, if you were here before Chanology, you should know that huge amounts of public awareness of Scientology's bullshit (including their attempt to get agents inside the gov't) became public and ultimately failed thanks to people shining light on the bullshit. This is to say nothing for how Occupy Wall Street (and the Arab Spring for that matter, which while conditions were different, overthrew several countries gov'ts through protest) scared the fuck out those in charge wising up. Iceland for instance was one of the few places that punished their bankers and corpo types largely because of popular outcry.>ViolenceViolence is even less likely to accomplish this sort of goal and will be more likely to subvert it. We don't even need violence to do more financial damage - imagine a large scale strike (even a general one) that could do way more to harm them.
>>719347514Killing a few politicians will get you and a hundred of your militiamen vilified. You'll be used as an example of why the government needs to protect us from ourselves. Stop making me repeat myself.
>>719341201>one person loses few copies of media in an avoidable accidentvs>everyone loses everything through intentional political process
>>719347530and they still won lmao
>>719347595having a credit card shows that you are a responsible adult
>>719347384A bunch of rednecks and glowies walked into your government building and you're still screeching about it. If they wanted to they could have killed people.The only thing stopping people from doing violence to the government is that they aren't mad enough yet. If things continue as they are, it won't be long until they are.>Nothing short of a civil war would be effective.Your terms are acceptable
>>719347249I was an essential worker during Covid and here in Canada I had to use my cellphone to verify that I was allowed to be out and working before going on the job site, but it wasn't an app, it was a website. Basically a way to clock in and clock out that sent the data to the government or something, IDK. Any phone would have worked, presumably. Some of my boomer coworkers didn't have phones, but the job site had a physical computer set up they could log into the website with. It's hard for me to imagine that some country out there wouldn't plan for people with non standard phones or not having phones at all.
>>719347595Minors can get a debit card. Not everyone here uses a credit card so it's fucking retarded.
Go find various businesses in a city you don't like. Find something just awful that you could flush into their sewer system. ????Profit
>>719347723>A bunch of rednecks and glowies walked into your government building and you're still screeching about itThey didn't hurt anyone. It was still civil disobedience. If a single politician was killed, the public would have totally turned against you retards and we probably wouldn't be allowed to own guns today.
>>719345268>By living in a society you inherently give up liberty for safety.How many times has a cop actively protected you from physical harm? I've never seen it happen. They show up 2 hours after you get mugged then ask you for video evidence of it happening, otherwise tell you "you can't prove shit", then they're are too lazy to even write up a report.The government does not offer you safety, they don't even claim to.Your "safety" is primarily luck along with your judgement ability to avoid being in the wrong place at the wrong time.>>719346074>You do have a certain degree of freedom as long as you aren't an active detriment to society in the eyes of the ruling class but living in a society means trading liberty for safety.None of this matters, you can evade taxes, spend your entire life as a professional con threatening people, running scams and stealing constantly without facing any legal consequences. Scumbags make up a very large portion of the population and are often extremely successful and respected.Alternatively you can be the goodest most cucked goy obsessively running around like a retard following every crazy obscure law to the letter and still get fucked over, thrown in prison, and railroaded because of some clerical error by some fat negrees federal worker.The populace is considered worthless by the ruling class you're essentially ruled by mad amoral gods and your only hope is being so insignificant that you blend into the background and they never single you out to strike down.
>>719346649>I have never, not once, seen a protest achieve its goals.SOPA/PIPA was killed by mass protests. These bills are basically SOPA/PIPA on steroids, yet there is only a fraction of the pushback. People became lazy and docile.
>>719347650That only happens if people don't compromiseIdeally a completely hostile population should be able to solve this issue in less than a weekBut then again its all hypothetical because no one has the guts and means, they either have one and that is not enoughEnjoy owning nothing and having children who see that as normal, is just the future
>>719347765I was an essential worker during covid in the USA. I went into restaurants that were forced to close but refused and gave them business and the wait staff big tips. The police were afraid of its citizens. In my area they knew if they crossed the line people would start taking pot shots at their barracks.
>>719347439He did said good luck finding them.
>>719338712I don't think I'll need that :^)
>>719347262No that won't achieve anything it'll just be used as an excuse for more control and suppressionPeaceful protests do work, but the problem is we there just aren't that many protests for this yetWhat the population thinks does matter, if you get 60% of people to side with you you'll get things done. The problem is that a lot of people support efforts to limit internet freedom because they eat up the propaganda about harmful content and protecting the children and whatnot, they might think the current methods are ineffective or bad but they'll say: "well, at least the government is trying to do something", even if that something doesn't make people safer and it just harms their fundamental rightsEither way, hacking is a much more effective method: sabotage the institutions, clog up Ofcom: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/what-we-do/contact-usOrganize protests in front of their physical office, etc...
>>719347439The US government refused to let the US Military win that war. I'm not kidding. You know I'm not kidding. American Citizens have been betrayed by their faggot government for a long time.
>>719338712>in the UKcouldn't care less. The UK government has openly told everyone they will be extremely hostile to anyone who wants to deal business that involves children. Steam wants to keep its UK market so it complies.If you have an issue take it up with the UK government. Steam isn't going to risk millions in revenue over an autistic manchild with main character syndrome having a fit over id laws.

>>719348119?
>>719347914>I'm not in the UK.Neither is: >>719346076 you retard.
>>719347947Yeah, like I said--it would have to be civil war. A vast majority of normalfags would have to be in favor of violence not a couple dozen angry guys. You'll be viewed as homicidal lunatics by everyone. Violence does nothing but make things worse unless a majority of the country is in favor of it.
>>719347596Everything you listed since the 2000s was not overthrown due to protest. It was 90% corporations battling it out and stirring up public sentiment to side with them. TPP, SOPA etc were going to undercut corporate control, and so they used you to help them advocate against them. And it worked. 90% of the leverage was from the corporate side.Also its hilarious you cited Arab Spring considering a lot of fucking people died during those protest. Those were literal civil wars. I was considering using that as an example for violence being the answer.Occupy Wall Street is another hilariously bad example, because it achieved absolutely nothing and was the prototype for how to out wait and subvert every other protest since. Occupy got to see the seeds of the financial shitshow that is our current climate, they were protesting the EXACT situation that has seen the rise of Blackrock. If they achieved anything it would have stopped them.Your naivete would be adorable if it weren't keeping people from doing something that would actually change things. If anything I'm certain that your argument is in the glowie playbook to try and reassure the public that yes, their voice matters. It scientifically doesn'thttps://act.represent.us/sign/problempoll-fba

>>719348115Chat control is hard to pass because it clashes with GDPR, but they are trying to reform it
>>719348002Doesn't matter. They're demanding it anyway.
>>719348067>What the population thinks does matter, if you get 60% of people to side with you you'll get things doneThats wishful thinking. What actually gets governance done is the fossils in the government that have their own interests in mind above their own constituents. They'd sell your soul for a Costco hotdog. Getting to lead the government is fucked too because of rampant corruption and voter disenfranchisement to basically predetermine who wins by carving up the districts, look at how horrendous the gerrymandering is in Virginia for example. A leader could be elected with maybe 20% of the voting population's approval, this shit is fucked beyond belief.
>>719348002>>719348153They still ask you to verify your age, you retard. The main goal is to take away everyone's anonymity, which is why they aren't using the age of the account method to do it automatically.
>>719346709You're Jewish, death is too good for you
>>719344445If enough people with accounts that are over 18 years old file a steam support ticket it might put pressure on valve to do something about it. It's dumb seeing as it's against TOS to share accounts.
>>719346076>Since those websites don't want to bother with that shit, they just block my entire state.Best thing they can do. Once they cave it becomes normalized and normalfag sheep will all happily spread their buttcheeks.If its blocked completely then they lose their ability to mindlessly consoom and have a visible consequence to supporting this shit.
>>719348242Whatever the population see things as is meaninglessAll of this is negatively viewed, even a brainlet knows that having another step to do something is annoying, even if that idiot doesn't know how slippery that slope isWhat matters is who is moving what, and who actually want is changing the world, is counted people, the rest believe they can profit from being compliant
>>719347843What are you talking about, the news definitely reported that people died during Jan6Oh wait, nobody cared.Because, since you clearly don't know, basically every blue collar work site these days has weekly, if not daily, conversations about guillotines and killing politicians and CEOs. The sentiment of hate toward you fucks is growing daily. I sincerely hope to see bodies swinging from telephone poles within my lifetime.
>>719348326No, it's trueThe problem is that we don't have that 60% to care about the internet and free speech yet, most are either oblivious or support those efforts at least in principle even if they think the methods are bad
>>719338712Other governments will see that it works and will start doing it too. Fuck the UK.
I can't go to the store pages of games I own... It's fine for me to play it but not look at the reviews or go on the game hub. How does that make any sense?
>>719348457What politician was assassinated? None of them. Jan 6 protesters are still viewed as protestors and victims by a lot of people.>Because, since you clearly don't know, basically every blue collar work site these days has weekly, if not daily, conversations about guillotines and killing politicians and CEOsNo they fucking don't. I work in a factory on an assembly line you dipshit and never hear talk like that. I think you're a glowie.
>>719347530NTA but my country has this and modern war-tested equipment as well. If all it takes is a million men then most countries could win against the US.
>>719348647Yeah, its fucking retarded.
>>719348542My guess is that they are going hyper aggressive on this because the old monsters know they have at most 10-20 years to live and want to leave everything controlled for their useless spawn
>buy game>refuse to scan face>money stolen
>>719348527Its not truehttps://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-27074746The opinion of the public has a statistically negligible effect on how the government votes. Effectively zero. They might as well not exist.
>>719343086>>719343086Stop being a consoomer you retard
Democracy is fucking vile.
>>719348392Nexus mods already do it for 10+ year old accounts so it's worth trying contacting steam support.
>>719348658I work on multiple construction sites, moving around for different jobs.Its a common topic.Maybe if you work with a bunch of illegals who are too scared to talk about this shit, it doesn't come up. But every single white blue collar worker I've talked to in the last year has expressed that they would like at least some politicians and CEOs to die. Its usually not serious, they aren't saying they'd do it themselves. But thats just not right now. Shit is going to continue to escalate.>Calling me a glowieI've already told you, that tactic doesn't work. It assumes that there is another option. Peacefully begging your rulers to maybe please stop stepping on your neck quite so hard. It hasn't worked in the past, and it won't work in the future.
>>719348848Yet what is the alternative?A Monarchy, an empire are kinda the same but with even less rightsAnarchy leads to nothingCommunism and socialism are even worse than a monarchy somehowThe problem is the people, everywhere by any form of rule this always happens, the rulers get drunk on power and make the population miserable hoarding everything for themselvesHow do you fix humanity?
>>719348542You're an idiot. The WEF is behind it and the UK is just a testing ground, because the government jails people for distent and speaking out. It's up to companies like Steam to reject this shit, as Apple are doing with the UK government wanting a back door into their products so they can monitor their activity, which the UK government tried to use a gag order to prevent Apple from even publicly speaking about. Thankfully Apple are suing the government, and will most likely win. Every major company needs to reject and sue, as Steam should have done for the risk of loss of profits. As steam users, you need to mass complain to the about this, or the EU and US is next.
>>719348695No, it's because the banking cartel wants digital currency. Once money is completely digital and tied to your digital id you are a slave.
>>719348848last time I checked no one voted for this shit
>>719348994Well then stop being an internet rambo and go start your revolution. I can't wait to laugh at another 4chan dipshit going on a rampage.
>>719348848There was no democracy; the current UK government got in with less than 20 percent of the votes
>>719349069That is another thing they want, this controls ideas, thoughts, prevents possible revolts, so on and so on
>>719349024You reset the system every 100 years.People are inherently lazy and corruptible. If they weren't you could maybe create a system where people kept better tabs on what their rulers were doing and stopped them before things got really bad, replaced them with new, bright eyed blood who really wanted to make things better again.But people will let things slide. Systems ossify and stagnate. Corrupt people install more corrupt people above and below them.So you burn it all down regularly. Like a forest fire that brings a sudden burst of new growth
>>719349118>>719348994The issue is that you need critical mass of people but you also need leaders.At this point the people are primed. You literally only need a few officers and politicians to decide "fuck it we ball" and you will have a civil war in most of the west.
>>719349024You have a list of presuppositions that in reality apply more to what you are defending than anything that you want to attack.>>719349071>>719349208Consent of the governed.
>>719340276>buy physical game on console>not playable without day 1 patch>servers are dead
>>719349071Listen to EU parasites speeches. They always say ''Our democracy''. They are laughing in your face.
>>719349245If you have that many people you can just protest, overthrowing the government is nonsense
>>719349024>How do you fix humanity?Replacing the old men and women in charge for starters
>>719349245Most of the west is too lazy and comfortable. They're just a bit disgruntled but when push comes to shove, everyone is more or less fine with the way things are. It would just be you killing a bunch of politicians and we'd get another news story about gun control. They might actually start taking our guns away and we'd get a bit more grumbling and a few protests maybe.
>>719349528>protestThe last time a protest did anything was January 6th. Before that, OWS.The majority of protests don't know where to actually protest and disrupt to truly scare the ruling class shitless.>>719349571>most of the westYou don't need the majority. Wars are triggered and even won at 20% of your total population. I'm pretty sure there's studies that state that's the magic threshold even, based on the American and the French revolutions, but I can't recall where I remember reading that.
>>719349234>There's no evil that lasts a hundred years, nor body that can endure itStill that is not precisely a natural process and sometimes the renewal just stalls>Dark ages, China, North koreaWe might not live completely trough it or actually see it in its full fledged horror, but still, it feels bad to know it can happen and that there are people working for that to happen>>719349310>(you)

>>719349528>Just protest>Occupy Wallstreet camped out for literal months and nothing changed>Yellow Vests in France burned down cars and shit in Paris for 6 months and nothing changed>Not even the sacred cow BLM got anything they asked for when the nogs burnt and looted multiple cities for months.Yeah, just protest goy. Don't do anything drastic though. That might make you look bad to the people who view you as cattle.
where are all the "it's only for porn degenerates"! crowd now?
>>719349776yeah, go around with your eyes closed as usual, faggot
>>719349808They didn't exist, they were corporate and government shill.Same for the people promoting SKG
>>719349874Why do you schizos always try to tie this into SKG? I legitimately do not get how you're still seething about that
>>719348265>SOPA/PIPA, TPP etc Many of these granted larger corporate control - TPP would have made signatories bend the knee to a corpo making a deal in another country, and SOPA/PIPA was a giveaway to copyright cartels had carveouts for ISPs, big tech companies and others involved. There were certain companies who had a similar alignment for one reason or another with the people, but the benefit was far larger for us than for them. Ever since the beginning there has been a degree of 'strange bedfellows" in organization for political ends; labor leaders worked with some smaller companies against larger ones to greater success. >>Arab SpringYeah a lot of violence was done TO those people, but when Tunisia and Egypt overthrew their gov'ts it wasn't because of force of arms, it was mostly peaceful (on the protesting side), work stoppages, and leveraging geopolitical situations to their favor. The last time the Middle East had a "revolution" in a stable gov't by force of arms was Iran and half the people who were involved in overthrowing the Shah got shot in the back by the Islamists as soon as they got into the place. Its much like how Apartheid in South Africa didn't end because of militarism ( Mandela even pushed back against his own goddamn wife who wanted to kill all the whities but he knew that it would not get him the objective he wanted) . >Occupy Are you kidding? You're repeating propaganda, especially forgetting about the parts besides just New York. The "subversion" started after. It was the first major rising of policy outside of normal neoliberal bullshit and would govern things going forward and normalize how Bernie Sanders could run for President seriously andhow universal public health care, unions etc.. were on the table in a way that those in power thought they slammed out with red scare bullshit years ago. Why do you think attempting to "subvert" with social infighting happened afterward?
>>719350010Oh here's one now.
>>719338712>account is 20+ years old>still askes for age verificationlmao lol even
>>719349705>anuary 6th. Before that, OWS.Neither achieved anything.OWS ended up being the trial run for how to disrupt and undermine a protest though. Its been basically the same playbook since. Wait them out. Sow chaos by creating competing but vague demands. Muddy the point by adding more and more grievances. Undermine leadership by adding woke talking points.
>>719350096nigga they're literally unrelated and you can be for SKG and against Digital IDs and Censorship.Stop being retarded
>>719339665dont have to, we have already seen the reaction to both of trumps wins
>>719350102a child could purchase an older account to use. this is required to protect them
>>719350131>Neither achieved anythingIt scared corpos and politicians shitless.OWS directly resulted in the complete and totaly dismantlement of the left as a true political movement in the west, reducing it to identity politics and social media shitposting. January 6th directly resulted in Trump getting reelected. If you think the fact the GOP getting behind Trump isn't fear of the people you don't get the political scene of the US. And that isn't to say Trump isn't his own brand of corpo that should meet with boatsmen without a coin, but that isn't the point.
>>719350204>they're literally unrelatedUh-huh, the government gaining more control over media is totally different from the government gaining more control over media.
>>719350345>child could purchase an older account to useIt would be funny if they weren't actual excuses they can vomit at us
Someone give me an example of something that's supposedly blocked so I can test this because the whole thread smells like bullshit
>>719344835You wrote:>steam was the source of all drmThe SOURCE of ALL drmWhat else does that imply you fucking retard?
>>719346503yes because the question is loaded as "Do you want to block kis from seeing the hecking evil porn?" and not "Do you want to send your ID to literally any site that asks for it online?"waiting for the inevitable mass upswing in fraud honestly
>>719350482Are you an actual fucking faggot?Huniepop
>>719350091>SOPA/PIPA, TPP etc>He believed the mainline narrativeAll of these being cancelled benefitted certain key tech corporations. And they've been using those benefits to fuck you in the ass ever since. It doesn't matter that if they had passed different corporations would have fucked you in the ass. In the end the "protest" only benefitted corporations, not you.>Arab Spring>Peacefullmao. I bet you watch CNN. A lot of people died. A lot of people were killed by both sides. You think the media in the west would report that violence got what the people wanted? You think they'd tell you that it was possible? They got what they wanted because they had the means to kill their government officials and did so on multiple occasions throughout the protest.>>Occupy>A bunch of "visibility" "achievements"It did nothing of substance. The original and key point of the protest was to roll back and cancel the bank bailouts. It didn't achieve this. It had no chance of achieving this. The key, most important goal of the protest was not even considered by anyone in charge. And in fact it failed so spectacularly that the ghost of what they protested about is still haunting us today, because you can trace a direct path from those bank bailouts to Vanguard and Blackrock having the capital and leverage they have now.
>>719350578Not blocked, so it's as I thought. Entire thread is bait.None of you retards even verified it and just took the bait lmao

>>719350578Why haven't you killed yourself already? You clearly hate being alive.Do it already
>>719350378>Trump>Fear of the peopleLMAOJesus christ mate, what the fuck kind of copium are you on? Zion Don has done nothing but help foreign nationals and try and get rid of the people talking about the very corruption he campaigned on removing.Now I KNOW you're a fucking glowie.
>>719341840Football cucks are braindead cattle.
>>719349571You glow.
>>719349789Protests in my state got them to change the law barring Sunday beer and liquor sales
>>719350424We have actual evidence of people colluding with each other to widely censor free speech and you fucking think a rinky dink movement like SKG is related let alone is even important enough to fit in all this https://youtu.be/hcgpBy9Nn5w?si=jeXbhlXjz9POCwr0https://youtu.be/QN-fCnTLiVM?si=D7H_tILcY5CxM6jdI again reiterate to stop being so fucking stupid
>>719348265>>719350091Con't. Don't just drop buzzwords about Blackrock and glowniggers and whatever the fuck else while thinking that >Well maybe we should just kill them all that will certainly work! is a serious way out of this situation and not a way to get every disconnected politically naive tard who only votes every 4 years for president and thinks that things will "work out", not putting together circumstances effected by their decisions (like the tariff bullshit now; the amount of people who don't properly ascribe it to the policies, the stupid stupid policies that caused it, is amazing), will somehow rally behind a handful of "radicals" who engage in a violent attack for political gain, as opposed to seeing them as the exact terrorist degenerates those in power will claim them to be and further clamp down on civil liberties. >Votes matterThe system is completely imbalanced now, between gerrymandering, Citizen's United, and other policy or implementation (to say nothing for a two party system that rejects anything else thanks to its organized). However, what to do about it is a combination of litigation, legislation, and labor organization/protest to fix that shit, rather than simply claim that small scale political violence is a better path when it almost certainly will go the other direction. Think about it, a vidya example from the 90s. They tried to censor things more directly because a cadre of religious conservatards and busybody parents worried that Doom , Mortal Kombat, Night Trap and others were going to turn kids into little serial killers or just found it objectionable . There were Congressional hearings with both Nintendo and Sega. Later things got worse after Columbine. What do you think would have happen if someone would have reacted violently instead of industry and players alike calmly highlighting all the myriad benefits of vidya and how 99% of people were not violent maniacs.?
>>719349024Supposedly you're looking at what these systems have done in practice, so why don't you apply that to democracy, too? In less than a lifetime, this system has completely destroyed all rights of both individuals and groups, it has stolen more than half of everything that has ever been produced and owned, it has destroyed every sovereign nation and sided with barbarians and thieves and murderers in every case, it has perpetuated and not prosecuted the worst crimes in human history, it has regulated every aspect of life, and it has never once delivered what the people would have wanted. This level of evil would not have been possible under any other political system, evidenced by the fact that it didn't happen.
>>719350984So you have evidence of collusion and you don't think this campaign to do the same thing wasn't a part of it?Talk about your willing pawns.
>>719350718>not blockedWhy do you lie>>719350792What's your problem you fucking retard.
>>719350378>It scared corpos and politicians shitless.OoooAnd how is that going? Are they listening to you? Or still doing whatever the fuck they want?The one thing that scared them was Luigi and they are desperate to bury him.
>>719350718NTA but yeah it's blocked.I actually own it too so this fucked up.
>>719351103>The one thing that scared them was Luigi and they are desperate to bury him.Luigi was also valid but he was a one man action. Now obviously they don't want multiple one man actions.
>>719350874No, I'm just not a schizo. If you were to kill a bunch of politicians, gun control would no longer be a partisan issue. You'd see both parties shit their pants and come together "to stop the senseless violence." Most people aren't in favor of mass murder even if they dislike X or Y politician.
>>719351079Okay you're just baiting for (You)s at this point since you dont even have any evidence to back up anything other than you over estogenized emotions.
>>719351163Do they still let you play it?
>>719351305It should still work to play it if you've already bought it.
>>719351003>However, what to do about it is a combination of litigation, legislation, and labor organization/protest to fix that shitAgain. The naivete on display is simply staggering. We've watched 20 years of that achieve absolutely nothing of substance. The government and corpos continue to steamroll your shitty protests. They vote how they want. They decide how the world is run and treat you like cattle. They have the same regard for your opinion that a farmer does for his cows.25 years of lockstep progress toward this type of social control. Any "victory" achieved peacefully swallowed up by the overall wider progress.You can't change this within the system. No politician is going to vote to give themselves less power. Its never happened in the history of democracy.
>>719351059>What caused the fall of the Bronze Age?It is not democracy per se what made politicians flood countries, but the magic money they work withEverything needs to keep raising its value or they "lose money", it is as idiotic as it can be and it would had happened under any rule as long as money worked in this manner
>>719349024>Yet what is the alternative?The reality is that people aren't equal and everyone doesn't deserve a voice. U.S. founders realized this because they were very intelligent people which is why they restricted voting. They created dozens of systems to prevent the situation we are in but those were subverted over the years and unfortunately they vastly overestimated later generations ability to give a fuck.In terms of critical thinking and general life skills people today are some of the stupidest in modern history. They are completely detached from the fundamentals of reality in favor of fantasy ideals that sound nice but only work in movies.>A Monarchy, an empire are kinda the same but with even less rightsWhat makes you so sure they have less rights. What are all these amazing rights that euros and americans have? To vote in a meaningless election where you pretend to pick between two figurehead assholes who hate everyone instead of just one. We talk about China being tyrants and their people say the same thing about us we're rapidly setting up our own great firewall and social credit system.Would legitimately be better off with full dictatorship because dictators are more accountable than our current shadow government and at least you'd have a random chance of them caring about the country a little bit.>How do you fix humanity?There's inevitably going to be some kind of massive world war once the money runs dry and there is no longer past resources to squander, and that will force a natural meritocracy. It's basically the only way that people will return to reality. It's easy to be totally delusional living a life of fantasy behind a computer screen, not so much when your life is actually on the line in a war.
>>719351305I'm not in my pc right now so I don't know.
>>719351474https://www.radioalbion.com/search/label/Matt Johnson?&max-results=5Here, this can help you to understand. You only get two choices. Monarchy or oligarchy. That's it.
>>719351081Why do shills lie in the shill siteWhat i wonder is why are we allowed today to complain about this so openlyThe thread is naturally dying, i was expecting this to get nuked a while ago
>>719347849>How many times has a cop actively protected you from physical harm? I've never seen it happen. They show up 2 hours after you get mugged then ask you for video evidence of it happening, otherwise tell you "you can't prove shit", then they're are too lazy to even write up a report.>The government does not offer you safety, they don't even claim to.>Your "safety" is primarily luck along with your judgement ability to avoid being in the wrong place at the wrong timeAre you trying to prove Franklin's quote correct? I cannot tell due to your retarded writing style.
>>719351685Democracy is the only system where one ruler can take out a loan and transfer it to another completely unrelated ruler. It is the only system that categorically erases responsibility for all policy decisions. The way money works does not factor into this discussion.
>>719351305You can still play the games you bough previously.
>>719351687kinda a Socrates point of viewBut it is correct, only capable people should be able to make choices, the rulers made people less and less capable so they can get away with whatever they wantWW3, i wonder, we're kinda already there, yet until china decides to move its doing nothingAnd if Rusia gets too cornered by EU surely nukes will flyOne can only wonder how will all of this end
>>719351708I'll take monarchyI've always said the only way to keep a system working long term it to reset it periodically.Its way easier to kill a king than an entire political class and the bureaucracy.
