- Once again, a U.S. Senator has decided to waste taxpayer dollars on a trivial agenda instead of addressing real, pressing issues. This time, it’s Mark Warner of Virginia, who penned an open letter to Valve’s Gabe Newell demanding a crackdown on so-called “hateful accounts and rhetoric” on Steam.

ADL is an extortion racket!
Bingo, could say more but it'd be deleted. can't even say the Acronym either.
Exactly. They probably gave the idea to the woke consulting firms.
The Anti-Defamation League, the experts on committing defamation.
@@UA-camCensors same, good ol yt
Have you ever heard of a man named Eli Frank?
Censorship continues in the Democratic Party. It is truly an obsession.
You're so mind broken you are blaming the Democrats for Zion Don and his Make Israel Great Again policies?
Yes it is.
It is, which is crazy to me because I remember when I was in high school and the Republicans were the ones trying to censor everything. It’s like the world‘s flipped on its head or something. The Republicans are the moderate common sense group now and the Democrats are the weirdo extremists who want to control the world and how we think.
Remember guys jews don't have any control of anything
censored
Wouldn’t be ironic if they ADL were sued by Valve for defamation?
One can hope. With Trump they even might actually win
This is necessary at this point.
And Valve is a company that easily can do it.
Sen.Warner : Steam must be shut down!
Gabe Newell : Oh no u won't!
Gab should do it.
@@Optimusj1975doubt he will bother since now it's all just loud talk, but if they took action, gabe will counter it for sure. Heck i am sure gabe just laugh this off like hearing stand up comedy
The supreme court already ruled in 2011 that video games are protected free speech. This guy is basically screaming to an empty room at this point.
He's upset about Forums, on Valve.
Not Video Games.
@@lokithecat7225 Probably he supports concord 😂
@@ricardohoang8452His wife's boyfriend supports Concord.
@@lokithecat7225same thing given what he wants to do
@@lokithecat7225if he shut down steam, all the video games will be shut down and deleted
A Democrat........Go Figure, how shocking
He probably unironically thinks that gamers are the sole reason Trump won the election.
They'll blame everything and everyone except themselves.
The ADL and the people they represent own both parties
Gotta control all the information, so they can manipulate everyone. Can't have anyone badmouth the anointed.
@@TheLeadElite Of course they won't consider their own shitty campaigns 😂
Don't worry. You can be mad at Trump later when the tariffs drive up the prices of consoles.
A Democrat senator… shocker. I suggest a class action lawsuit against the ADL for ironically, defamation against Steam users.
Good idea
Ngl someone should setup a crowdfund for that and then sue them
Let's do that.
ADL = Juws hating America
SHUT IT DOWN GOY!
In Malaysia, a Prime Minister, tried to ban Steam. Long story short, he ended up in jail.
What's his name?
@@50ksavagegoodsavage4There is only one ex Prime Minister in jail now
What? How come?
let me guess corruption?
Corruption and he banned Steam because of a game called "Fight of God"
Now he is behind bars
EDIT: His famous word was "Saya potong Steam". Translated to " I cut ties with Steam".
This shit is so dystopian. Can we like, get President Trump to delete the ADL along with the DEI?
maybe DEI, but hes not exactly a critic of zionism unfortunately
Then you'd have to get rid of google, facebook, oracle, blackrock, blackstone, disney etc..etc 🤣
Trump loves Jews that’s the only thing I hate about him
We have to to take the good we can get, The Don is a boomer so he thinks *they* are our greatest ally.
We'll get our chance, I'm sure of it. They are going to mess up very bigly very soon.
Lol no, Trump loves the ADL. All Republicans do. Democrats too. Its a uniparty darling.
How the ADL isn't laughed at and told to stfu every time they release a "report" is fucking beyond me.
You're not allowed to ask those sort of questions.
They're not going to defy their employers.
👃
This comment is incredibly antisemitic. You can't say things like this in 2024 man.
everyone in the "established" media space just pretends that ADL is not a radical org that is fueled by actual hate towards dissenting views. They are never challenged in that space
Bro is about to discover how many of his voters have Steam accounts he just threatened.
Not just america, he just declared war on the entire gamer population all over the world.
@@James-zo1uy Right, but what does he care? Only the ones in the US are voters
Nope. He will be in a safe seat no doubt
@@Zso-VIII and he's leftie 😂
@@arostwocents VA swung 7 or 8 points (down to 5) toward red in the last election. Very little is "safe" for the left's politicians right now.
Those gamers in Virginia need to contact this senator's office and tell them this report is stupid.
Impeach Warner
I'm from Virginia and I'm pissed about this. -_- Leave our games alone.
Vote him out 😠👉
ADL = Juws hating America
NOVA are the ones that put people like him in office, and NOVA is infested by people that work in DC and live in Virginia. AKA it's swamp adjacent.
Valve should sue the ADL and that senator for slander and libel.
What a lot of elected officials forget is that their ultimate free speech protection, the ability to libel, slander, make, or suggest threats of violence, only exists when they are in the well of the House as a representative or on the floor of the Senate if a senator. Outside those spaces, they, by law, are to have their speech treated like anyone else's. It be funny to see elected legislators get picked up outside the capital by the DOJ via US marshals for stuff they said outside those immunity spaces.
He's a sack of crap... Imagine taking an oath to uphold the constitution and bill of rights... only to turn around attack the 1st Amendment.
Like Tim Walz? Oath's don't matter to people on the left, they're oathbreakers.
There's a word for men like him: TRAITOR.
Yup these people are not do gooders and they are not stupid... they are evil.
They've been doing the same to the 2nd for years. An attack on one right is an attack on ALL RIGHTS.
They never wanted to protect freedom, they want to just control and destroy it.
And this is why I hate politicians.
He's doing what the ADL wants.. ADL is a Jewish defense group..
Who died and made ADL the organization that have the last say in everything.
Jesus died
@@HughJanus9999 Just don't say who lied to put him there or the ADL will come for you too.
American politicians by taking the Israeli money
The Federal Reserve.
I think the SPLC would say they have the last say.
For an organization called 'The Anti-Defamation League' they sure do engage in a lot of defamation against others.
They were founded to defend the legacy of a Jewish PDF.. The entire history of that Tribe is like this..
"accuse others of what you are doing" -some famous bad guy probably
@@googIesux well if the story about leo frank is true, that's kind of how they started out, or well, in capacity of his legal defense
@googIesux Bezmenof wasn't exactly a "bad guy" now was he ?
"When you read it [the report] none of it holds up."
That's sounds about like the ADL.
I'm blocked by ADL and their leader on X. The long list of humiliating lists made their leader shit his pants.
He's a complete waste of air
98% of politicians are.
All Politicians are like that.
ADL needs to be removed from everything... their one goal is to be victims for good and to do the bidding of their actual country.
The systemic ownership by a foreign nation needs to end. Even alternate media gaslights about it
ADL need to go back to defending PDFs.
They have always done that
🤣👍
When did they stop defending themselves?
They need to leave us alone and go defend more torPEDoes.
Hey this comment is antiseptic 😂
The ADL by regularly crying wolf does more to increase antisemitism than Gabe or Steam ever have or will.
Which is actually the point. Don't take the bait
Well, if there is no antisemitism , they won't have a job. So they create MORE
"Came out of nowhere." I don't believe in coincidence in this instance. Someone is directing traffic.
It's cause they're butthurt their control over the young and dumb vote is starting to slip, they gotta get everyone back on the good ole democrat plantations.
Phony casus belli for thought police promotion. Red herring. Woke Valve\Steam of Seattle actually requested this 'assistance' from the Federal Government. You plebs have been fooled again.

Of course its a Senator from my State.... Why is it ALWAYS a Senator from MY State?
Thats how we canadians feel when its always some canadian company trying to shove garbage on video games lol
It's a good thing it's not my state since my state is Texas where a law is now in place to prevent companies like Black Rock from giving out ESG money to schools.
Because 11 counties have ultimate say over the rest of us and make our voices in the rest of the state null and void.
He's doing a good job bringing back that good ol' Jack Thompson anti-video game rhetoric back, I'd tell you that.
As a fellow Virginian gamer, I agree. WHY!?
Mark Warner doesn't have the guts nor the testicular fortitude to do that
Hate speech isn't real. The senator is able to be sued for U.S. 1st amendment violations against private company and citizens.
Senator isn't in his line of duty demanding this unconstitutional action. If he was to take action I would hope steam knows this.
Do these politicians have anything better to do other than oh, I don't know, representing their government?
He's a leftie oh yeah ...
he has to help his donors out
CAN YOU EFFIN POLITICIANS STOP STICKING YOUR NOSES IN VIDEO GAMES?!
Haha, that's funny considering we're talking about the ADL.
Who would've guessed the jews are part of the left.........there's a reason you don't trust them
@@agentooe33ADI always hated politicians you know. They bring disaster
sticking their (((noses))) in for sure
@@MrCjosue24 Politicians are like diapers, they need changing often.
The ADL needs to be dismantled..............
Why doesn't Mark Warner focus on cleaning up his own parties hate campaigns of calling everyone they disagree with every vile name they can think of?
Wow the party of "The Squad" crying over "Antisymmetism". What a farce. Shut down and punish Omar, then come back
How about shutting down ADL?
They were invented to defend and justify the actions of factory owner (((Leo Frank))), who raepd and murdered 14 year old factory worker Mary Phagan (and tried to pin the blame on a black man).
That they were even CREATED is a fucking atrocity.
oy vey?
pretty sure this will get removed for being antisymmetric joke, but i'll be goddamned if i don't post it
Valve has the money to sue both the ADL and Warner for defamation. I want to see how fast they cave if Valve actually pursues legal avenues.
I remember my introduction to politics around age 10 when I read in my video game magazines that something called a "senate" wanted to ban that cool game I played at my buddy's house, Mortal Kombat. And I still hate Joe Liberman for that. Clearly Mark Warner is looking to create some life long enemies of his own.
If anything needs to be shut down it is the moderators on the forums. They will ban you for anything that goes against the message.
It's gotten so bad that every time a forum moderator Banned Me from the forum, steam bands me my account for 30 to 60 days. Simply because I've always had a trump Avatar and let's go Brandon's screen name ever the last few years
Could not agree more... bring on the internet bill of rights.
Phony casus belli for thought police promotion. Red herring. Woke Valve\Steam of Seattle actually requested this 'assistance' from the Federal Government. You plebs have been fooled again.
No lie, they talk about all this "hate speech" but mods will ban you for criticizing a game you freaking own..
@@Spartan1312 I love that Trump's online bill of rights my incidentally strip every lunatic "moderator" across the internet of their power simply because they will very likely be a legal risk and huge liability to every company that has a forum with jannies. If they're not strictly employees of the company on a very short leash, they could end up causing a massive cascade of lawsuits every time they get their fefes hurt and go on a ban spree.
So Asmond did the math, ADL's report references less than 0.1% of steam's user base, 95% of that are pepe memes. And given the number WW2 games, I'm surprised their data on Nazi references wasn't higher.
Got a feeling that the methodology used by the ADL to come up with the number of "hate" posts, etc., involved finding a certain number of examples and then scaling it up based on the overall user base (Survey-based Data Collection). There is no way they have people going through more than a million instances of what they perceive as hate.
100 million. But you are correct.
ah yes, they used the census method. Bet they only cherrypicked the "hate" posts instead of random posts.
This (D) is way unhinged lmao
Does that actually surprise you 😂
He's (D)eranged
More like (((D)))
Jew.. Call it what he is. ADL was founded to protect Jews from criticism..
The ADL itself is a JOKE propaganda
Why is it always entertainment always getting attacked... these people need to back off. Guys like this Senator is why most of the country voted the way they did.
They want to break you .
@@ThMindFdr Okay but unironically, their goal is the consolidation of power and the best thing they could do to keep doing that is to leave the "bread and circus" alone, keeping us in the dark to politics and keeping us from wanting to get involved and active in everything they do.
Think about it, this is insanely fucking stupid for their goal, because every time they try to ban and ruin media as some feel-good for their maligned and unhinged power-fantasy... they wake up thousands more of us, that all become politically aware, and motivated to resist and push back.
They could have just left video games alone, kept fast food cheap; and no one would give the slightest fuck they're destroying the country.
But NOOOOOO, they ruined the circus, jacked up the price of bread; and then complained when everyone started digging into all the shit they do to ruin our lives.
Remember when they tried to blame all the worlds problems on music? This will go about as well as that did.
Ah yes ....
We're not gonna take it (again)!
What happened? (This is my first time hearing of this ADL stuff)
@@ItsJavaJawa Not the ADL this time. Back in 1985 the US congress held senate hearings into explicit content in music, essentially it was a group of Washington Politician house wives trying to ban certain forms of music. The end result was a label being slapped on CD covers, which had the opposite effect, sales of those records soared.
You can search Tipper Gore vs Dee Snider for a hilarious summary. Essentially Dee Snider, the front man for Twisted Sister, attended the hearing in his stage outfit and testified calmly and logically, debunking all of Tipper Gore's complaints and embarrassing her.
Look up the UK police truck ad saying Being Offensive is an Offence. Dystopian Future has arrived and that's what the Acronym and this Senator wants here.
Never EVER forget WHY the ADL was founded.
That's antiseptic to talk about that 😂
that's a bit on the nose... :')
"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."
The World is at the edge of a Nuke War
Meanwhile politicians be like: "let's shut down gaming"
WTF is this timeline???
I have been on steam for 15 years and I have NEVER encountered this issue in my time. Where the F are they finding it?
Ikr. Crazy how they want full control.
Steam cares about players, so we care about Steam. If they come for Steam, we come for them. It's that simple. Period.
That old fark can't grasp that. It's way over his head.
Phony casus belli for thought police promotion. Red herring. Woke Valve\Steam of Seattle actually requested this 'assistance' from the Federal Government. You plebs have been fooled again.

Couldn't the senator be going after Sweet Baby Inc., they deserved to be checked and same goes to Alyssa Mercante!
I have feeling that they are tightly connected.
Both want to destroy gaming.
How about...no.
He has to earn his cheque. This won't stop until the ADL is stopped.
ADL and AIPAC. both destroyers of the American democracy and people;
Politicians was never bright people. Good at lying but, seriously dented in the head
That man has just violated his oath of office and should be removed from Congress.
Ooh please, they're looking for things to nitpick and shut down in their crusade for control
As a Virginian, don't hate us. Hate the 11 counties that voted for this clown.
The everyday citizens of Virginia are not to blame for this. It's the countless feds who live there and commute to D.C.
Democrats arent elected they are Selected
@@TheLeadElite And Northern Virginia, and Virginia Beach, the surrounding counties of D.C. and Montgomery County. Basically, the 11 counties that have ultimate say over our selections of officials in our state. If I say it any other way, UA-cam deletes my comment.
@@dogwoodhillbilly"Rich Men North of Richmond." Bit terrifying that a bunch of people focused on the 50 State national issues would have that much sway over State level issues that don't concern the other 49.
Now if only the ESRB would be purged of corruption. Refusing to classify lootboxes as gambling still pisses me off.
I wonder why the ADL was founded...
The senator was a frequent flyer to a certain island.
Man, it just had to be Virginia's senator, didn't it? 😅
What happens when you to close to DC. No one should even be living in DC and politicians should only be there to work and once done go back to their home states.
The rest of us didn't vote for this clown. The 11 counties that control our elections did.
We didn't vote for him. The 11 counties that control our elections did.
UA-cam keeps deleting my reply, so I'll just say this. Virginia didn't vote for this clown. The 11 counties that have higher concentrations of people did. You might say we suffer from the 11 counties having the ultimate say in our elections.
UA-cam keeps deleting my response, so I'll say this. 11 counties voted for him, and the rest of Virginia didn't (a much larger portion of the state). Our picking of officials is basically determined by those 11 counties. This is why we hate Northern Virginia, Washington D.C., Richmond, and Virginia Beach.
Will he refund everyone once their purchased property is not available any more? Especially the millions of people outside his country.
I guarantee you there are way more important issues to obsess about right now ....
Do you think these politicians knows the meaning of "priority"?
We should bring this up on policies for the people.
Politicians need to stop trying to violate human rights and suppress free speech. Usually by misclassifying to make it sound bad
Nothing will be done. We all know Gabe's personality and mindset. I guarantee you that Gabe read the email, hit 'delete', and immediately forgot about it.
We survived Al and Tipper Gore in the 80s, survived Liederman and Kohl in the 90s, we survived Jack Thompson in the 00s, we survived anita sarkeesian and gamergate in the 10s, I think we'll survive this.
*Queues Smash Bros intro music*
ADL and Virginia Senator has joined the battle!
The ADL is a grift organization. The fact that anyone pays attention to em is baffling.
Watch his mouth move. It's so creepy and unnatural.
He is not fully human
Make no mistake, you must sell your soul to be an American politician
It looks like he was dubbed.
I think Steam is bigger than the US Government.
nailed it
Wait til this senator hears about social media, or Twitch. His head will explode.
he attack steam because he think gamer is right wing ... didn't think gamer is just a persons just want to have fun
Censorship again and again...
The ADL cries out as it strike you.
When the ADL says jump he asks "how high?"
As a Virginian, I’m embarrassed to have this boomer represent my state. He can’t even read a newspaper to make a judgement, how is able to make decisions for laws
If he wants to make the world better, he should leave office.
The guy was not the first politician that tried this stuff on gamers.
He will FAIL just like the rest before him.
Politicians=WE LOVE TO DESTROY EVERYTHING BECAUSE WE ARE GREEDY
PC gamers about to find out how gun owners feel. Dumbass politicians wanting to regulate things they don't understand because they read a headline somewhere.
We already did, it's not the first time they've been doing idiotic things like this, Democrats have been at it for decades now
Steam should give him what he wants and shut down...in Virginia.
We will see if Mark Warner still has a job in a weeks time.
These people can't do anything againt predatory micro-transaction. But that "hateful speech".
This “senator” has clearly learned nothing from the cautionary tale of Jack Thompson.
Even if we believe the ADL's stupid report (which we don't), we have the First Amendment here in this country. The ADL, and Mark Warner, can sit and spin.
It's almost like the puppet masters hate gamers and want to make us suffer
the old man doesn't even know what email is, democrats are just mad they lost
All of this over what? Over Pepe?! What a joke, get rid of these idiots already!
public wants government to mind its own business on people's expression of speech
Wish Trump could shut down the useless pointless ADL
Unfortunately, he’s a Zionist shill. He claimed he would silence “anti-Semitic” claims. So much for free speech.
Good Reporting. Looking at that senator, what is more likely? That he understands what Steam is, or that he's cheated on multiple wives?
Bet this dude is taking bribes from steams competitors. Follow the money.
Phony casus belli for thought police promotion. Red herring. Woke Valve\Steam of Seattle actually requested this 'assistance' from the Federal Government. You plebs have been fooled again.
So, was it Ubisoft, Bioware, or Blizzard that contacted him, rofl. Those racist gamers won't buy our woke games through our inferior platforms! Shut down Steam!
Impeach this senator.
If this was acted on, this smooth brain logic means if we dont like a company, we could band together and say messed up stuff on whatever media platform it is and get the platform shut down. How the f would anything ever be sustainable again?
Vote Senator Warner OUT!!!!!
Still remembered not too long ago the individuals doing the same stunt has the (R) label. Oh how time has changed.
Although both sides do this, but somehow game industry people will only remember when (R) do it.
I remember one of my co-workers around 2015-2016 made comments on only (R) wants to censor and regulate video games when Trump was running the first time (while I told him that even Hillary Clinton mentioned to regulate video games at one point), he quickly switched topic once I showed him articles where both sides do this.
Don’t ask the ADL about the first client they defended…
Thanks for talking about this, very important topic. No thanks to more cens or ship.
Thanks for the tip in your comment yesterday! 🍻
@@SmashJT I'm doing my part! (°-°)7
Isn’t this breaking the Freedom of speech?
wow. A Democrat wanting to shut something down. It reminds me of Tipper Gore, Al Gore's wife, going after music the music industry.
Americans should contact this senator and tell him how they feel about it. Especially the one in virginia telling him they won't vote for him ever again if he doesn't give up on this bs.
Another L for ADL
They realized that Valve has money. They just want a piece of the pie
Gradually, we began to hate them
No such thing as "hate speech".
There is either free speech, or there is none.
Time to tell this senator to do his job, and leave the 1st Amendment alone.
Oy freaking vey! Shut it down! It's annuda shoah!!!!
But it IS ANOTHER shoah. I'm dead serious, this is not a joke.
We have come back to the 90's. Old people trying to remove everything they don't use.
