The #OnlineSafetyAct reminded me of the Mary Whitehouse of the turn of the century. A figure of great significance in the #gaming culture, just not the sort he wanted.
#JackThompson. I was "there" when he did this stuff. Going after #TheSims2 for being too raunchy! And the time he dared gamers to make him a specific game and he'd give $10k to charity.
They did. He didn't.
He even got disbarred, the judge saying he "uses other means available to intimidate, harass, or bring public disrepute to those whom he perceives oppose him" and gave him a pretty big fine ending his #law career. Unsurprisingly, very homophobic and right wing.
His main wiki article actually links to other sub articles about what happened.

He'd be pretty happy if he knew what the government just did.
