Gabe Newell (and other vaguely gaming related CEOs) called to testify before Congress on online radicalization Anonymous 09/17/2025 (Wed) 22:48:29 Id: 1dc4e0 No. 1761851
This is in response to the Kirk assassination. https://oversight.house.gov/release/chairman-comer-invites-ceos-of-discord-steam-twitch-and-reddit-to-testify-on-radicalization-of-online-forum-users/ The only two I understand here are reddit and Discuck.
>an influence was killed? >time to enact the surveillance state This government is so fucking retarded and compromised. They care more about this fading-into-irrelevancy Mossad asset getting killed than their own politicians' assassinations.
I can understand Twitch since you got niggers like hasan calling for assassinations. I have no idea why Gabe would be called for though.
>>1761876 le videogames cause violence shtick
>>1761862 >They care more about this fading-into-irrelevancy Mossad asset getting killed take your meds
>>1761851 >no BlueSky >no Mastodon >no DeviantArt >no Facebook/Instagram >no TikTok >no Telegram Clearly just getting ready for global identification cards circa 2030.
>>1761876 I'm surprised Zuck and Musk aren't here, Musk especially. Twitter is one of the worst sites for political violence regardless of stance and Facebook had genocides planned through it. As >>1761880 said, Gabe is only here because of boomers' long standing obsession with "vidya bad" and I assume PC gaming seems more scary and esoteric to the 97-year-olds in government. >>1761884 Sorry, you're completely correct. He already was irrelevant.
>>1761898 >telegram the ceo is locked away in french bdsm dungeons
>>1761851 Political violence is a service problem.
>RFK Jr Claims Video Games Could Be Linked to U.S. Mass Shootings https://archive.ph/GYVCI <Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested public events like video games, psychiatric medications, and social media might play a role in U.S. mass shootings — a claim that’s drawing strong criticism from experts who say it lacks solid evidence. <Robert F. Kennedy Jr., America’s current Secretary of Health and Human Services, made headlines by raising the possibility that violent video games could contribute to mass shootings in the U.S. during a public appearance with his “Make America Healthy Again Commission.” He pointed to other factors too — psychiatric drugs and social media usage — as part of what might be a multi-pronged explanation, but this blaming of video games will certainly feel nostalgic (at least, for those old enough to remember when it happened the first time, decades ago). <Kennedy used Switzerland as a comparison, noting that while it has similar gun ownership rates, mass shootings are dramatically less frequent there. According to his remarks, the U.S. is averaging a mass shooting every 23 hours. He also said the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is starting investigations into connections between overmedicating children and violence.
>right winger eliminates a bunch of shitskin invaders from his home nation >free speech is culled >left winger eliminates a mossad asset celebrity >free speech is culled its almost like no matter what you do the (((politicians))) will always use it as an opportunity to push the boot on white peoples necks down harder.
>>1761970 more like those were govt agents creating excuses for despots to further strangle the apatheic niggercattle
>>1761970 >right winger He was more of an accelerationist, he was aware those things would happen.
Gabe is gonna walk his fat ass out to Congress and announce half life 3 before the whole world before going back to his yacht discovering ways to cheat death and God once and for all.
>>1761898 You forgot >no Tumblr
>>1762135 Oh yeah, that still exists...
>>1762231 I don't know who your ecelebs are, anon.
>>1761898 My guess is that they're calling those four because they are where Robinson had his little antifa dicksucker clubs. We know he was in antifa Discord servers, used reddit obsessively and had a Steam group. He's also practically guaranteed to be a Hasan orbiter.
Imagine having TDS in 2025. I wouldn't even be surprised if one of the retards here is the next shooter.
>>1761851 Seems weird to not have Twitter or Facebook involved at all either
>Gaben announce Half Life 3 during the hearings
>>1762386 They're calling the ones Robinson used.
>the niggerpill cries out in pain as he shits up your thread
>>1762432 Imagine her doing this to your balls

>>1761880 Apparently so. The retarded boomers are being retarded again. Also >shit taste Of course.
>>1762487 Good post
>>1762483 Oh, disregard that. Apparently it's a ruseman account that landed one big hit with 1.4 million views.
I don't think they'll go far enough so this will only make things worse for the rest of us
>>1762308 To that point, Trump just officially named "Antifa" a terrorist organization. 1. How long before a county judge in a backwater state rules that he can't do this? Probably immediately. 2. How long before anyone who has ever gotten an antifa tattoo or waves an antifa flag or passes out fliers with the antifa logo is arrested? Never; they'll go after white nationalists instead.
>>1762525 Can a county judge reverse a federal designation for a domestic terrorist? Sounds incredibly retarded.
fuck off niggerpill, there will never be perfectly pure saints. You have to take what you can get and use what you have
>>1762540 Judges can do whatever the fuck they want as long as they're obeyed. So far, Trump has obeyed every single court ruling saying "You can't do that," no matter what the Constitution actually says.
>>1761876 >I can understand Twitch since you got niggers like hasan calling for assassinations. I have no idea why Gabe would be called for though. Apparently the fag had a Steam account, therefore, that makes steam the home of fags. This argument makes no sense anyway, not for Twitch nor for Steam, because it implies the provider has a responsibility for the speech of all users, which is a ludicrous thing to demand either way and it's just the government looking for scapegoats, as governments always do, to get them to do their dirty work and have people engage in authoritarianism "for the greater good" or publicly show them dancing around words in the open so they can blame someone.
>>1762550 >it implies the provider has a responsibility for the speech of all users, which is a ludicrous thing to demand Remember the "section 230" argument? This is how they implement universal digital ID on every website that allows comments and destroy all anonymity forever. Only "antifa terrorists" would post on anonymous websites. And then when the blue tie jews take over in four years, only "white nationalists" would post on anonymous websites.
>>1762559 The thing about the Communist Control Act of 1954 is that it explicitly says, "It doesn't matter what name you call yourselves; communism and its practice is illegal in the United States." And that would be great if it had literally ever been enforced, but it hasn't. Still on the books, though. This designation can (and should) technically fall under that, but Trump's owners are communists so don't expect him or Congress to ever actually mention its existence.
>>1762556 The issue about leftist orgs like antifa is that they're already violating the law but platforms selectively don't enforce even their own TOS against them because they're all controlled by fellow leftists.
>>1762550 Naw twitch has blatant double standards for what the left vs right can say, with hasan & co being completely untouchable vs anyone further right than milktoast asmongold being shoved off yeah they're apart of the same org dwbi. Twitch has a massive double standard of what triggers their TOS vs what doesn't, this makes them a publisher and open for what their "people" do while streaming meanwhile Steam is just a platform and can just coast along.

>>1762573 >Naw twitch has blatant double standards for what the left vs right can say Well, you've answered it yourself here. Why waste time with twitch if it's already on your agenda? Leaving it out of this also sort of implies and signals to the others that they're doing things the right way already, and can be used as an example.
>Human stand-in for a kid's TV show >Former Harley-Davidson biker >Future lich >Amalgamation of Britian stockbrokers Since this is probably a four-course grilling, how tough would any of them be? It'd suck if it was all melt-in-your-mouth meat falls off the bone by the end. It does also feel like this doesn't do anything substantive, instead driving ((((evil)))) people to more niche platforms.
>>1762600 Goverment doing goverment things, they must do things in stupid ways. Twitch 100% is an issue but the goverment probably can't offically state that Twitch might be an issue without jumping through hoops, same way they have to jump through hoops for ordering shitty vehicles. > Leaving it out of this also sort of implies and signals to the others that they're doing things the right way already, and can be used as an example. I don't understand this part, they're including Twitch. Did you mean othersites like Facebook or X?
>>1762643 >I don't understand this part, they're including Twitch Oh. Right. They are. My apologies, I should probably be asleep. I ended up focusing on why someone might not include even something that has blatant double standards and forgot that twitch is in fact called in, which I guess leaves my point sort of moot.
The fuck is this shit? How retarded can these people be?
>>1761851 >In response to the Kirk assassination how the fuck is this related to The Vidya?
>>1762697 The little faggot was in a furry Steam group or something, that's it really.
>>1761876 To answer for Counter Strike 2 being such an awful "game". It's unplayable.
>>1762700 dnd shit. Sounds more like a trojan horse to put UK-esque laws in full force.
>>1762712 No shit, Damn fossils are gonna try to grab for power most of them won't even get to see, the only thing I see that can be done is calling it out and be loud about it.
>>1761851 This feels like another one of those things I'm supposed to care for 48 hours until they shit out something new to care about for the next 48 hours.
>>1762022 he was a nigger a melanin enriched nigger
>>1763566 yeah it's the epstein files classic
>>1762540 >>1762525 From what I've heard, there's no actual mechanism to declare a domestic terrorist organization. All this actually does, at most, is tell Fed law enforcement the president considers them a priority. >>1762573 >>1762600 Twitch's biggest, non-bimbo, "talent" is a literal muslim communist who calls for gutting capitalist in the streets and he is never punished for this shit. A few years ago there was an incident where all the top bimbos decided to just straight up host full episodes of Iron Chef on their stream and everyone just got a slap on the wrist. Meanwhile V-Tubers are insta banned for too much skin.
So help me, if I lose my steam account over this, I swear I will write an extremely angry letter and mail it to my local congressman, and even put a frowning face in the byline. in Minecraft.
>testify before Congress Always a nothingburger it's just so politicians can wag their fingers and show their voters how much they care
>>1764959 t. fed.
>>1764959 You kidding? Getting dragged to Congress caused the death of 8chan prime. Fucking Watkins.
>>1766039 Alright it was dumb of me to say always, but I don't think any of these billion-dollar companies are in danger and I especially don't expect anything to come from politicians yelling at CEOs.
When was the last time a CEO was brought to get chewed out? I remember Zuckerberg was shat on for looking really awkward in front of Congress.
>>1766039 That was Watkins being a retard, the writing was on the wall. Congress didn't do shit.
>>1766039 Pretty sure that was cloudflare
>>1761862 You people should let your politicians know that you don't want to live in a dystopia.
>>1767654 Pretty sure it turned out they only pulled the plug because Watkins told Cloudflare to go fuck themselves when they asked him to keep better control of all the fedposting.
>>1767677 Please. Mr. Bateman, no more antisemitic remarks
>>1761851 >online radicalization AKA people being groomed by online communities into harassing others and committing violence IRL because status quo is fucked. Calling these people will accomplish jack shit.
Donald XxX_JewPuppet_666 Trump was the Kirk Assassin on Steam https://www.zerohedge.com/political/alleged-kirk-assassins-gamer-pseudonym-was-reportedly-donald-trump https://archive.ph/tnqXa >Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson used the pseudonym “Donald Trump” while playing on the gaming platform Steam, according to a Thursday report from Bloomberg. The factoid about Robinson’s gamer name came in a report that also revealed that the Secret Service is investigating the assassin, even though Kirk wasn’t under the agency’s protection. >“Agents are working with the FBI to study Robinson’s behavior and online activity, including his use of Trump’s name on Steam, as part of a profile they are building,” Bloomberg reported, citing anonymous sources. “The aim is to understand how suspects form grievances, how they select targets and whether their actions signal broader risks to current or former officeholders.” >According to Bloomberg, Robinson’s Steam account is 11 years old. “It lists an account that appears to belong to his partner as a friend. Some comments on the account were disabled shortly after Bloomberg reached out to Valve [the company that runs Steam] for comment,” Bloomberg added. The government has falsely linked assassins to Steam in the past. >Indeed, days after the July 13 assassination attempt against Donald Trump, Congress was provided information from the FBI that Thomas Crooks “previewed” his attack on Steam. However, FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress weeks later that the Steam account in question did not, in fact, belong to Crooks. Wray admitted that his own agents were duped by a fake account—meaning that the FBI briefed Congress with fake evidence in the crucial hours following an assassination attempt against the presidential frontrunner. >“That’s a situation where in our effort to give real-time information, since we’ve provided that information, we’ve since learned that the July 13 ‘premier’ profile page on the gaming platform—it turns out, it was not the shooter. It was some other individual, who as a sick joke, after the shooting created the profile page pretending to be the shooter,” Wray said in response to questions from Rep. Benjamin Cline, R-Va. >“That person has since admitted to it,” Wray said, referring to the hoaxer. “Among the other challenges we as investigators have, we have people creating accounts pretending to be somebody when it’s not the actual person.” Wray did say that Crooks had multiple accounts on gaming platforms. “We do believe he was a gamer and that he did have different types of gaming accounts,” Wray said. The FBI has yet to release any information on Crooks’s gaming account. >The House Oversight committee has subpoenaed the heads of Steam, Discord, Twitch and Reddit to testify in a hearing about the radicalization of online forum users, including instances of open incitement to commit politically motivated acts.
>>1761851 I wonder if some of the retards at Congress are aware that schools and colleges are also part of the mess of indoctrinating people into radical Left Wing garbage like Affirmative Action and Critical Race Theory.
>>1769438 >I wonder if some of the retards at Congress are aware that schools and colleges are also part of the mess of indoctrinating people into radical Left Wing All tax payer funded, of course. Mark my words, there will be lolberts equate de-funding of this to censorship.
>>1761900 >Zuck and Musk Facebook and Twitter (under Dorsey nose rine beard, now X under Musk) has been in the hot seat since Obama Husseini, albeit at the time for "information gathering and privacy concerns." Plus given the troon lover is early twenties, he's probably had more of a presence on steam, discord and tik tok.
>>1773557 >WL Pierce Pencil neck, didn't even go out and lead marches like Rockwell. Just wrote angsty race war fanfics. Goebbels tier at best.
>>1773557 Andy Ngo leaked antifa's official larping 'after action report' it said the best way forward for them was to divide the right by bringing up kirk's stance on israel.
>>1761880 We're really doing this shit again?
>>1766039 8chan was killed by Watkins' unwillingness to continue hosting it, nothing else.
>>1774234 He turned it into a fucking FBI honeypot after the Christchurch shooting and all of that QAnon shit.
>>1774247 >after Hotwheels already fucked the place over with Sunshine.
