Fun fact: the Senator, Mark Werner, has been known to have received money from Disney, who "just happen" to invest billions in Steam's competitor, Epic Games. Now I'm not saying to move all the alleged hate that seems to be on Steam to Fortnite and other Epic Game owned games, but I'm "not-not" saying it either as a means of a sort of social experiment, see if that Senator clutches his pearls the same way when it's on Fortnite.
When you look at how much money and power has been consolidated it makes sense all this is going on. Billionaires and wannabee billionaires are so scared of eat the rich that they are actively pursuing any means of control to ensure that wealth is actively consolidated. No profit margin is ever good enough, and they need a good enough reason to blame so that simple folks have a talking point.
Its why education will never be improved in bigger countries. Smaller countries greatly rely on their intelligence community and infrastructure to keep them competitive. Bigger countries reeducate their population to improve sales.

Steam? Out of all the other platforms they’re gonna ban Steam? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Might at as well ban EA while we’re at it. Let’s ban streaming as well because it’s dangerous as well. If you agree that Steam should get banned then so does 80% of the other platforms. You give someone an inch they’ll take a mile.
@thorbjornson533 yes steam can choose do whatever. I didn't say we should force steam not to censor. But yeah legislation saying that no matter how a company feels they should censor what the government says is the incorrect thing. That then becomes a problem, so I'm pretty sure we said the same exact thing.

Banning stuff won't solve anything, There are places where hate just conjures. Also, freedom of speech and expression must be considered. Banning Twitter tiktok, etc, isn't gonna do anything. Children will always find crazy stuff.
Just so you know, it's not children being exposed to porn or whatever else that they care about. This is all explicitly about pro Palestinian stuff existing there in any capacity. That was the admitted reason why they went after TikTok and other social media sites in the last year. There's currently a bill up in the house to force colleges to ban anti-zionist speech. It's AIPAC lobbying to silence any voices that don't support Israel bombing children.

Huh one of the rare cases where someone correctly brought up freedom of speech (the right that protects citizens from being punished by the GOVERNMENT for speech). Normally when i see that brought up its to a company or some guy who freedom of speech does not protect you from

The pepe being a hate symbol shit still pisses me off. I've gotten into arguments with people outside of gaming culture on this so many times, they read that ADL declared it a hate symbol so it must be true. My take, don't give these symbols to some assholes. Yes some are hate, some just happen to be things used by multiple communities. Don't just hand pepe to racists because they sometimes use it.
Can safely say I've never encountered any extremist content. Seems like something you only find by actively looking for it which would indicate that 'teens' aren't randomly stumbling on it on steam lmao.
You definitely encountered extremist content. That's because the "Study" classified "Pepe the Frog" as a hate symbol. Over 50% of their findings were just pepes.
Yup pretty much. Out of touch elders blaming things they don't understand for problems they caused themselves. Been happening LITERALLY since the dawn of recorded history (Like seriously you can find examples from basically the beginning of written history for the old fart's blaming the trends of the new generation)

@@goldh2o543 You're right about that and yet they're going after completely different people. They might be hoping that most people are too stupid to notice the double-speak. And they may be right
Here's my 2 cents. They want control over games because 99% of the gamers I've met don't give a damn about politics one way or the other, and BOTH sides hate people who either don't have a side or just don't care so they're fighting for control over the gamer space. Just my own personal conspiracy theory, don't mind me
@Gouda992 I never said anything about starting with gamers. If you really think about it, both sides already have control over halves of Facebook and Twitter; the next logical step would be each side claiming a half of the gaming community
@ both sides don’t have control over halves of either, twitter is pretty overwhelmingly controlled by actual Nazis and Facebook is filled with boomers. Also video games are completely different from social media sites, nobody gets their information from league of legends or call of duty

To simplify the Boeing Starliner thing: The chances of successfully taking the astronauts down went from like 97%+ down to like 95.5%. But the contract endures a 97%+ safety margin.

What is this, the 7,281 episode of "Senators Hating on Video Games"? Also, those astronauts stuck in space are basically breathing in recycled air from, erm, waste products. They're all literally breathing in each others recycled sweat.
"Coe identified: 1. 1.5 million unique users and 73,824 groups who used at least one potentially extremist or hateful symbol, copypasta or keyword on the platform. 2. 827,758 user and group profiles with avatars that contained extremist or hateful symbols." The sum of their respective percentages isn't even > 2% (1. 1.13% 2. 0.627%).
Senator looks at Twitter's radical bots and profiles that send out their message to literally anyone with a pulse with moderation that does nothing to those: *blind like Stevie Wonder* Senator looks at Steam's freedom of games where you really have to dig deep to find anything even remotely radical before it gets nuked: *real shit*
Being stuck in space sounds like a legitimate existential nightmare. Yuck. I don't think astronauts are glamorous lol. That's a level of homesickness and anxiety I could not handle.
I feel like this is the same thing as companies pretending to hire when they’re not, pretending to do work but actually hurting people outside of your circle
steam never censor any kind of game or contents, unless its a scam. I still love how they proactively refund everyone for TheDayBefore the moment words get out that the game was a sham
I once got perma banned on steam for posting a link to an uncensor patch that was officially provided by the developer... I wouldnt say steam's approach is hands-off lol. Thankfully i got it appealed and overturned
How many people even use the community section on Steam? I'm willing to bet it's a silent majority. I've almost never used the community section of Steam, I mainly just use it to buy, download, and launch singleplayer games
Elon Musk have the chance to be the hero and save those astronauts. Reminds me of Homelander causing trouble so he can save people and be the hero, but I'm sure this incident wasn't Elon's doing.
He'll definitely be looking like the hero after this. That being said the reason it's been taking so long is because SpaceX has been having problems of their own however they were smart enough to stop the missions before it was a problem in space
1:53 Facts!! Thank you for saying that. Taking care of this steam issue won't do a damn thing if you ignore nonsense like tik Tok that is Clearly causing the same issues this senator claims to care about but at a much larger scale.

The sum of their respective percentages isn't even > 2% (1. 1.13% 2. 0.627%).
Pepe is love.
6:17 literally what I've been saying for years, Twitter was chill until all the Tumblr users flocked to it
the govt is coming for the pepe memes lmao
I would not be surprised if they went after steam because of Elon's ties to politics now
Do they really think Gabe freaking Newell would even think about letting them do that? WTF
Boeing should work with the government because they would never miss
Funny how safe and inclusive environments always end up as self-reinforcing systems where an in-group clique decides what you can and can't say.
Basically Facebook then.
Senator looks at Twitter's radical bots and profiles that send out their message to literally anyone with a pulse with moderation that does nothing to those: *blind like Stevie Wonder*
Senator looks at Steam's freedom of games where you really have to dig deep to find anything even remotely radical before it gets nuked: *real shit*
If they’re so worried about the youth they should ban kids from going online lol
I better get my $1000+ dollars back if Steam gets banned.
yep exactly
yeah being out in space actively degrades and breaks you down on the genetic and cellular level
How DARE THEM to go after Steam??
Wait til this senator hears about something called social media. His mind is gonna be blown.
Being stuck in space sounds like a legitimate existential nightmare. Yuck. I don't think astronauts are glamorous lol. That's a level of homesickness and anxiety I could not handle.
I feel like this is the same thing as companies pretending to hire when they’re not, pretending to do work but actually hurting people outside of your circle
If they actually ban steam, that senator won't be waking up the next day to enjoy it.
This feels like walking into a grocery store and yelling at the employees for putting chemicals in the twinkies...
" we might come rescue you from space if you promise not to sue us"
1984 core
That’s why owning physical media is way better. No one can take it away
This is like saying I'm gonna take down the biggest crimes, and then just start arresting the dudes selling selling 20 bags on your block lmao
I love your clips!
H3 gonna come after Charlie for that tiny ADL critique.
"Mom i want extremist content"
"We have extremist content at home"
Extremist content at home: pepe
well the only place I can think of is those rp servers where they rp as like nat z soldiers and cults
a week trip to almost a year thats wild, its gonna feel crazy finally being under gravity after that much time floating.
steam never censor any kind of game or contents, unless its a scam. I still love how they proactively refund everyone for TheDayBefore the moment words get out that the game was a sham
Idk what's more disturbing, the chatter that defended the senator, or the chatter who defended Boeing lol
I once got perma banned on steam for posting a link to an uncensor patch that was officially provided by the developer... I wouldnt say steam's approach is hands-off lol. Thankfully i got it appealed and overturned
We must unite red black white green purple jew and anything we must band together for a Greater Purpose.
Green? We calling on the aliens to help?
@cordingdesert9566 if we need to our namekian brothers will help
Craaab people..Craaab people
@@FriendlySquirrelDemon Taste like crab, talk like people
The problem is, no matter how much you exercise in space, your health will still deteriorate, and im not even talking about solar radiation.
I'd be punching the walls of the ISS by now if I were them astronauts, fuck that utter bullshit
Why is Charlie's chat just so stupid at some times? who would agree with the Senator on that shit?
Ban steam? The backlash would be overwhelmingly bad
How many people even use the community section on Steam? I'm willing to bet it's a silent majority.
I've almost never used the community section of Steam, I mainly just use it to buy, download, and launch singleplayer games
Boeing is also trying to actively sell their space agency. Imagine being in spce and your company sells.
You know what I bet is that half of that “extremism” is people talking about ways to play Hoi4
Elon Musk have the chance to be the hero and save those astronauts. Reminds me of Homelander causing trouble so he can save people and be the hero, but I'm sure this incident wasn't Elon's doing.
He'll definitely be looking like the hero after this. That being said the reason it's been taking so long is because SpaceX has been having problems of their own however they were smart enough to stop the missions before it was a problem in space
I'm getting the suspicion that the Senator has ties to the ADL.
See they can't go after twitter because thats their boss and paycheque.
watching this on my steam deck rn
steam has probably had the most positive effect on my life compared to everything else online
I've been on steam for almost 20 years. I have never seen "extremist content" on there. absolutely ridiculous.
We need to film all the senators on x360 mw2 chat
1:53 Facts!! Thank you for saying that. Taking care of this steam issue won't do a damn thing if you ignore nonsense like tik Tok that is Clearly causing the same issues this senator claims to care about but at a much larger scale.
Jan 6 would be a nice holiday compared to day Steam gets banned
The astronauts are going to look like the humans from wallie when they get home
Hate speech is a protected act in the United States. I’m not saying you should do it I’m just saying it’s completely legal. So how can a senator even try to stop freedom of speech
Buddy doesn't want to know what all those CS pros are gonna do with all that aim practice and who theyre gonna use it on if they do ban it
