Group Behind Steam Censorship Policies Have Powerful Allies — And Targeted Popular Games With Outlandish Claims The organization behind Steam's latest payment processor censorship, Collective Shout, appears to tell some misleading tales.

Didn't read your article until I read about it being banned. Now I've read it. Streisand and the Full Effect. Thanks @archive.org

After payment processors prompt removal of Steam games, journalists investigating the censorship resign Many Steam games are no longer available at the request of payment providers. Ana Valens, formerly of Vice, believes that activist groups have too much influence over payment processors and Valve's ma...

VICE's owner Savage Ventures has requested the removal of my Collective Shout articles. This is due to concerns about the controversial subject matter—not journalistic complaints

Effective immediately, I will no longer contribute to Waypoint. I suggest letting VICE's owner know if this upsets you

This Group Takes Responsibility For Steam's Payment Processor Censorship Policies — They Just Implied 'Pervert Nerds' Cause Society's Problems A little-known group claims it's focusing on 81 more Steam titles for removal, arguing the games feature inappropriate content.

I dug into Collective Shout, the organization taking responsibility for Steam's new payment processor-spurred guidelines. The group vows to target over 80 more games

Some of its claims on Steam's content seem far-fetched, however

Trump’s provocations have turned Angelenos into pedestrians

That is an INSANELY misleading headline. He was one of dozens of members of a nonpartisan state “workforce development board.” It says nothing about his politics and certainly doesn’t make him a “former Walz Aide.”

The No Kings protest in Philly was massive too. Here are a few of my photos, including one of me and Timothy Snyder, who I happened to run into in the crowd!

It was jam packed today in Santa Cruz, CA. This woman with the sparkly TACO purse quietly reading the constitution amongst it all was outstanding.

Geneva, IL was several thousand!

I’m proud of my country today!
The Signs: Springfield, MA
No Kings

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

Look at downtown LA right now

if you are protesting now or in the future be safe and remember:

• do not announce you're attending online
• do not sign any online RSVP
• wear a mask
• wear clothes that don't draw attention
• leave your phone at home
• bring bottled water
• do not speak to cops
• do not post photos after

DO NOT SUBMIT in advance.

Know the risk, but I urge folks to still go. Honor her with your resistance to fascism. Don't comply in advance, and don't let the terrorists rob you of your No Kings voice.

Hell, no, Minnesotans.
Do not let some lunatic take away your right to protest or your voice.

UPDATE: The Minnesota State Patrol is urging people not to attend today’s "No Kings" demonstrations across the state. The authorities said that fliers for the “No Kings” events were found in the vehicle of the suspect, who remains at large.

Law enforcement official: "When we did a search of the vehicle, there was a manifesto that identified many lawmakers and other officials." (The suspect is not in custody at this time.)

Law enforcement official on Hortman shooting: "It was knocking on the door and asking the person to come out. Absolutely impersonating a police officer ... we have the suspect's car. The suspect is on foot."

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

“We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership." Kristi Noem. Two lawmakers are now dead. Assassinated. This is the cost of your rhetoric, MAGA. You fed the fire, now the country burns.
