Sen. Warner Pressures Valve to Address Extremism on Steam Following ADL Report
Nov 17, 2024, 03:05 PM
Senator Mark Warner, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is pressuring Valve Corporation to address alleged extremism on its gaming platform, Steam. Warner's concerns are based on a report by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) that highlights widespread hate-based content on Steam, including over 1 million accounts and 100,000 groups glorifying extremism. The ADL report emphasizes the need for Valve to take significant action to curb the spread of hate and protect users. Warner criticized the lax enforcement of rules by social media platforms, stating it leads to toxic environments that elevate harassment and abuse. The report also lists 'goyim' among the top 20 hateful keywords on Steam and reminds Valve that it is 'financially successful' for now.
