Steam’s Adult Content Ban Has Been In The Works For A Year, Driven By right-wing Project 2025 co-creator and Trump administration budget director, Russel Vought>Russel Vought is a conservative political analyst and government official serving as the director of the Office of Management and Budget. He is one of the central figures in the creation of Project 2025, an initiative designed to force right-wing political policies into law in the United States. Much of Project 2025's wishlist has started to come into play, with mass deportations, a ban on DEI programs, and changes to energy and climate change policies in effect, and the program also suggests "banning p*rnography and shutting down tech and telecoms companies that allow access to adult material," which is where we're at now.>"We came up with an idea on p*rnography, to make it so that p*rn companies bear the liability for underage use, as opposed to the person who visits the website. We've got a number of states that are passing this, and the p*rn company then says 'you know what, I'm not doing business in state', which, of course, is entirely what we want," he continues. "We would have a national ban on p*rnography if we could.">By removing Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, platform holders, like Steam, would be liable for any "illegal" content uploaded to the platform, as opposed to those creating and uploading said content. If Steam were found guilty of hosting this content, the company could be hit with huge fines. Therefore, Steam, Itch, and many other platforms would likely place a blanket ban on any adult content, mitigating any risk of fines or other legal action. This, as pointed out on Reddit, would affect all forms of user-generated content, including fan art, mods, and videos, not just games themselves.
Everybody knew this before it happened, and we just thought it wasn't really happening until oh, suddenly it really was happening after all.
>>719513168Not everyone
>americans banned from buying porn not distributed by a jew>also need lube to stroke their mutilated penises It's the price of FREEDOM, I guess.
>>719513091trump supporters will try to tell you how this is a good thing
>>719513367There was never any freedom. It's all capitalist plot
>>719513091>the right did itI FUCKING LOVE CENSORSHIP NOW
>>719513665It's funny because they were spamming the visa mastercard shit for weeks and now that it's been revealed to be a right wing plot there is complete silence
that sucks and all but most niggers crying about "collective shout" or whatever were cheering it in when sexy vidya women were being censored so you're probably getting what you fucking deserve
>>719514082>collective shoutThat was them. Unless you believe some super powered blue haired dykes from Australia made the biggest payment processors in the world bend the knee.
>>719514308You're late, Ivan.
>>719513787Right? Left?Does it matter?It's all just evil afterall, it's not doing anything for the people's good. (Tranny decimation excluded, that one can stay)
>>719514396You tell us. Why did you outrage suddenly vanish?
>>719514194im glad that the larger portion of gaymerz are starting to realize censorship means their games get censored too, all im saying is that to those of us who warned you when sexy women were getting censored out of vidya, you look a bit silly
>feminists publicly take credit for the ban and show proof>redditors still blame Trumplol rent free
>>719514529Yeah, you shouldn't have voted for Trump if you didn't want your video games to get banned
>yfw they take your vidya
>>719514581>feminists forced capitalists to obey their every commandDamn, when did rich white people become so weak? How long until we have a feminist payment processor that skims money off of every digital transaction in the world?
>>719514837you think the capitalists are right-wing white christians? Holy reddit.
>>719513091I like how you claim all this with a ton of quotes. But nothing to actually back it up but green text. Expecting people to believe you on word alone.The right wing people don't believe on word alone.
>>719514746>everyone is american
>>719514581You are not immune to propaganda
>>719514878What are they?
>>719515379

>>719515457Eh, christofascists and jews work together
>>719515459>anyone who disagrees with american red team vs blue team bobo madness is russian
>>719513665>>719513787People have stopped responding because you've decided to just keep spamming "It'z da cunservtives" and "project 2025" ad nauseum, with any contrary information to your narrative being dismissed with the intellectually titanic argument of "nuh uh".Why should I bother?
