Steam isn't social media, DEID. But I thought you'd be happy about censorship or is it just because it's not censoring only the "right" people?

But, you know what, Nintendo has basically been making all games like this for years. They already censor/omit the kinds of things this law targets.

I'm trying to figure out your comment and it's giving me a headache.

what does DEID mean?

why would i ever be happy about censorship? are you trying to make this political?

"steam isn't social media". Offcom and the like are directly targeting games. The Homeland security ... KOSA. they ahve been at this for years.

Nintendo has a chat app on the phone. now has a microphone for the switch two. cameras. all the like.

tell me you don't know what you're talking about with out telling me you don't know what you're talking about.

social, proximity chat. compliance, smaller devs may not be able to do anything. did you even BOTHER to read? things like roblox, vr chat, even the game peak... would have to have discord servers or something be a back end.

the GDPR means nothing.

Check your groups, DEID. You're part of a group that says it's against censorship, but if the "right people" were censored, they'd be cheering.

And no, I won't look into the propaganda that perpetuates these conspiracy theories.

I like how that video embed can go out of it's way to pitch a sales line for "40% OFF my blah blah blah" and in the same stroke it's trying to lecture an audience about something it barely understands or is old enough to really appreciate.

The free and open internet died years ago, people can still find traces of it using peer2peer browsers to access the Dark Web, or looking for older web-forums, but i think people are kidding themselves if there is still something left to save on the surface web. (there isn't, let it all burn)

I myself am curious as to what DEID means. I'm assuming based on context it is related to DEI but I couldn't find anything online abiut the D. Also, why is OP in 34 groups!? And why are most of them supper sketchy?

DEID is what the group calls itself in its logo, so that's what I call the group and its members.

I'd be very interested to know why you believe Steam isn't social media.

It seems like social media to me; we're talking right now on one of the parts of the site that makes steam social media. That and the reviews, the groups, the curators, the game forums, the ability to submit videos and screenshots and mods and guides and people are able to comment on them. The customizable profiles and the ability to comment on them and have friends lists and you can have private irc conversations with said friends in seperate little popup boxes. Etc.

I have to think your reasoning is something along the lines of "this started as and is still primarily a platform to sell games" but I don't think that's going to not make it social media as well now, and that aspect being subject to these regulations if so.
