Information Liberation – by Chris Menahan
In a newly released report, the Anti-Defamation League defamed Valve Corporation’s Steam as a platform full of violent “extremists” and pushed for gaming companies to sever ties because they’re not doing enough to censor their users and suppress free speech.
Steam is one of the few gaming companies which has historically mostly defended free speech and avoided heavy-handed censorship.
The ADL, which has become the leading pro-censorship organization in America under CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, has been targeting Steam for over a month with not-so-subtle threats to try and get them to cave on free speech and just last week published a report claiming Steam is a “platform” full of “extremists” where white supremacists “can openly express … calls for violence.”
Steam’s official rules specifically forbid threatening and abusive speech as well as speech which “otherwise violate[s] the legal rights” of others.
Steam, the largest and most important online store for PC gamers, offers white supremacists a new outlet for their hateful rhetoric and calls for violence. More on Steam's role as a host for this dangerous ideology in our latest report. https://t.co/x2T02xEAje

Extremists are finding new ways to spread their #hate on online platforms. @Wired recently covered how @ADL experts have found white supremacist & neo-Nazi content flourishing on @Steam due to the platform's hands-off approach to content moderation. https://t.co/xA37xwRtFi

I wonder why they’re always pictured like an octopus wrapping it’s tentacles around the globe?/s
“Hate speech” is identified by them as such because it’s true and people would rightfully hate them if they knew the truth about how much THEY hate US.
