Is Australia trying to out-OSA the UK here? Steam is a fucking store front, GitHub is a place where you put Code, and Under Sixteens shouldn't be allowed on Dating Apps anyway. What the fuck?

I mean, Steam does have a large social aspect as well. Community content is often aimed at the 16+ crowd. Hell, I’ve been called the n-word by 11 year olds multiple times on Steam. Denying that Steam has social media is just disingenuous.

Uhuh, and who uses steam as a social media site in practice outside of comments in the workshop?

Steam has the Community where user interaction and user generated content can be posted.

By that logic the following sites are social media sites:

  • Wikipedia
  • OpenStreetMap
  • News sites with comment sections
  • Duolingo
  • Amazon

God help you if they agegate Wikipedia because that's the point you bring out the pitchforks.

youre making the common mistake of thinking these laws are coherent

Good luck age-gating the local copies of Wikipedia for anyone who downloaded it.
