Censorship

So I heard the UK is now blocking every nsfw content out there and they need to submit their ID to see it again. And recently Steam have also removed game that is labeled nsfw and adults game due to payment processers demand.

I'm genuinely so scared what will happened next. I mean my country have always ban certain websites (this one too) and some nsfw artist account on Twitter. if western countries decided to ban more things I'm pretty fucking sure they'd start tightening up and ban more stuff.

what's even more worrying is Steam is forced to take down their content by payment processors AND a lobbying group to "protect children" which is bs. Steam has always have content filter and even when I turn it off I still get the notification that it's an adult game.

I'm worried how they'd enforce this. Giving up my ID to third party group to verify my age? hell no. Even my own government couldn't protect my data. and in the UK they'd use your device history and browser history to verify?? isn't that fucking insane

I’m pretty sure it’s done to control people and limit lgbtq content as, to heteronormative society, the lgbtq is considered inherently sexual even though it isn’t.

Yeah, I watched the video of penguinz0, and he made it be like Collective Shout actually cares about LGBTQ+ just because they said they are out for games that have women get killed. And he tries reasoning with them that if they succeeded, other organizations will try to remove LGBTQ+ content too, and he assumed that they care about that. Except if ...... reply

It was only a matter of time until this happened tbh. The internet used to be a wild vugue plane for politicians, but now everyone's gotten used to it to some extent which means they want to control it. It'll start with censoring NSFW, giving whatever bs reasons, but the explanations will stop at some point. 1 reply

I thought it wouldn't be so bad to ban nsfw contents since kids can easily access it which is awful for them to be exposed at specially age 11-13 because research wise kids feel "grown" at those age and will try to mimick adults and sexualise themselves. Like yeah The Korean government does that I'm pretty sure? So I didn't see much problem with th...... 1 reply
