So, what exactly does Minecraft (one of the primary games mentioned in the lawsuit) do to cause this? Because that seems like a major outlier compared to the other listed games.

It would help if the lawsuit was actually focused on lootboxes, microtransactions, and the like as harmful gambling.

But it doesn’t. The lawsuit claims video games themselves being good creates an addiction.

If the reason for this is to prevent pedophilia content, then this will do nothing. People who access that sort of thing on the dark web aren’t going to be affected by this whatsoever.

Do you seriously not see a difference between Russia and China’s governments versus the United States?

Heck, South Korea and Japan have their own conservative shitheads in power problems as well, but they are still fundamentally democracies like the United States, whereas Russia and China are not.

Now if only lemmy.world admins can be convinced to defederate from the rest of the dictatorship supporting tankie trash instances.

Sorry, but the Soviet Union was still a oligarchic terror state, regardless of its involvement in liberating concentration camps.

What’s “woke” exactly about tankies? They’re just the far left version of far right fascism. They just have apologia for a different set of dictatorial oligarchies.

I will stop using any websites that try to do that.

Like what? Bank websites don’t really use ads. And I don’t use LinkedIn.

Then I will stop browsing them? I stopped using Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit quite easily. I can do it with others if they’re going to go down this route.

I mean, I’m using Chrome right now, but if they actually implement this and my ad blocker stops working, I’m switching to Opera or something.

Do they really expect to not lose browser users with this move?

Probably would have if I didn’t completely cut my parents off decades ago because of their David Duke supporting religious ways. They didn’t support me being gay anyways, so I had no reason to have them be a part of my life.

And my grandmother, the only one I still keep in contact with and visit, is fully pro-science (even if such things don’t involve her life much at her age) and she got all of the vaccinations and boosters during the pandemic. She stayed perfectly healthy and never caught it as far as we know, unless she was asymptomatic, and it’s been quite an achievement at her mid-80’s age.

As for my friends, I’ve only ever surrounded myself with pro-science and supportive people. Why would I associate with anyone not like that? Certainly not going to associate with conservatives that hate that I, as an LGBT person, exist in the first place.

Kbin has had no issues for me and hasn’t been attacked yet (or if it has been, dev Ernest apparently fought them off, probably barehanded too).
