Misinformation is taking center stage this week as both Twitch and Discord unveil new policies aimed at controlling what users can say on their platforms. It’s astonishing how these changes conveniently arrive just as the world shifts away from the pandemic’s grip, leaving many to question the timing and intentions behind these regulations. Twitch has made it clear that discussing the rigged election narrative is now off-limits, raising concerns about free speech in our increasingly tech-driven society. Beyond the policy discussions, we dive into the latest gaming news, including updates on titles like Sea of Thieves and Battlefield 2042. Join me as we unpack these developments and explore the implications of living in what feels like a techno tyranny, where our conversations are monitored and restricted.
