PhotonicI like video games just as much as the next person, but we seriously have bigger fish to fry in the EU right now.
We have a massive war going on on our eastern front, we have megacorporations trying to destroy our way of life while stealing our data, we have lost our biggest ally to a blabbering buffoon and his gang of goons, we have China trying to dump their goods on us to try and price our own products out of the market and on top of that, right wing extremism, racism and fascism are on the rise (again!). Yes we need to keep video game companies in check too, but I don’t really think this is such a big issue. Thank you for reading my hot take.
Do not provide your ID or facial scan to access social media.
DO NOT provide your ID or facial scan to access social media when requested.
If everyone refuse to comply, and let their accounts dormant instead, I promise you the platforms themselves, with their immense budget and network of lobbyists, are going to fight these absurd laws to recover their users.
They need you more than you need them.
Make them fight for your rights.
Do not comply.

🇪🇺 EU Commission's response on Stop Killing Games
The @EUCommission has "answered" to the @StopKillingGames European Citizen's Initiative. And wow, it's just a bunch of nothing!
Their response : https://link.europa.eu/r3XhyM
- No laws are going to be added
- They will be "Communicating with the industry", in order to initiate a "Code of conduct" for killing games. Since it's not a law it's not legally binding
- They want to "raise awareness" when already 1 million people signed this, but being aware of the problem won't fix it
- They claim they can't add a law because of the rightholders. The initiative only asked for games already sold to keep working, if the rights expire they can just stop selling it!
And yet, on their social media, they post a "Game not over" image...
I mean, it's better than nothing, but not by much!
The next hope is to put this in the #digitalfairnessact , hopefully it goes through!
