You can be an incredibly hard worker and still be a piece of shit for selling out your fellow industry peers, discontinuing programs for developers, making an awards show next to inaccessible in price for most game devs and allowing gamergaters in your show.

look up your senator to call them, Section 230 is the law that made the internet what it is. Without it, the government can punish user content and free speech on platforms directly

Tell them Section 230 is what makes the internet free and powerful

This is a very divided vote. It means we've been encouraging dissent. It now goes to the full committee. Please keep calling and urging your reps to reject it
KOSA passed out of the subcommittee in the House on 13-10 vote. Meaning that they are FINALLY listening to some opposition. But not enough to prevent the other age verification bills from passing, let alone this.

They MUST listen to opposition. Losing this fight is NOT an option.

🚨🚨

Tomorrow, a House Energy & Commerce subcommittee is voting on passing KOSA & several other age verification bills.

We need to spread mass opposition now. We cannot allow this to pass. We have to drive mass calls into congress NOW

We are actually doing something. DON'T STOP CALLING.
Morale at paypros call centers is in the toilet right now. It’s not just normal Black Friday stress, they’re being pounded. Corporate is pressuring bosses to end the paypros call campaigns. Source familiar w/ internals at MC stressed that folks should stand their ground but be kind to agents (1)

The additional context is that Valve is still killing a beloved games studio, still tried to weasel out of making a press statement, still didn't allow a second review, and still did not communicate with the developer beyond vague references to their terms.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

The European Council has agreed on a version of Chat Control that it wishes to push forward in 2026.

This version contains "voluntary" mass scanning, mandatory universal age checks, and isolating minors from apps.

Chat Control still needs to be fought.
