Valve Censoring Torrent References In Steam Chat
dotarray writes It seems Valve is restricting just what you can talk about when using the Steam chat service. Specifically, any reference to a particular torrent site is being stripped from conversation, while mentions of other pages trigger a warning that the site is "potentially malicious." In the wake of website KickassTorrents being taken offline earlier this week, people quickly noticed that references to the torrent site were being stripped from chat - with no warning, notificiation, or acknowledgement that anything is missing. We've seen censorship before, with chat providers blocking certain words, replacing key letters with asterisks or simply substituting inoffensive words for those considered 'problematic.' That's not what Valve is doing here though - the entire message is disappearing, not just the troublesome domain.
So you are using their chat app to talk about how to infringe their copyright, and you think they are in the wrong?
Entitled little bitch much?
"I know I will be modded down for this": where's the option '-1, Asking for it'?
So in other words you are this guy and are so clueless about the subject you think Steam is a MSFT product....well thx for wasting our time.
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
