Not only that but I'm pretty sure your average US congress person is so old that they think gamers are playing something that looks like an Atari 2600 but is called a Nintendo Playstation and is almost as popular as the Sony Xbox.
Quite frankly I'm not surprised "Don't leak your war plans on Signal. Tell ya what let's just ban WhatsApp for congressmen." Happened.
American Governments are so tech illiterate that in order to stop internet piracy they once crafted a law called SOPA which effectively banned the internet by forcing a takedown of anything that violated any copyright at all, making no exceptions for fair use such as satire, fan art, or education.. a net so incredibly wide that the only website left would have been .govs
Like Wikipedia would have to go because it explains what Spider-Man is and Disney owns that. That's how strict SOPA was.
Real fucking law that nearly passed and only didn't because the entire net threw the biggest shitfit in the history of shitfits.
Not only is the average congress person THIS tech inept (which is why watching them try to pull gotchas on Mark Zuckerberg in congressional hearings, something that should be easy as hell, is cringe-inducing)
But America is so blindly loyal to capitalism that corporations are basically writing their own consumer protection laws.
This is a recipe for Congress basically sitting back and doing whatever Microsoft says they should do and ignoring everyone else. Meaning consumer protections on video games is a no go.
