Group Behind Steam Censorship Policies Have Powerful Allies

9 months ago

Collective Shout, an Australian feminist group, has successfully pressured Steam to remove adult games with taboo themes.
The group is backed by prominent anti-porn organizations like NCOSE and Exodus Cry, which have histories of advocating for content censorship.
NCOSE and Exodus Cry have previously targeted Steam and other platforms, citing concerns over exposure of minors to adult content.
Collective Shout has been accused of misrepresenting games, such as Detroit: Become Human and GTA V, to push for their removal.
The organization's claims about 'child abuse' in games lack specific evidence, leading to skepticism about their motives.
Collective Shout's campaigns may be part of a broader effort by larger censorship groups to influence online content policies.
