Comment on New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxes
purplerabbit@piefed.blahaj.zone 22 hours agoYeah, I didn’t think about that. That is kind of a nightmare scenario. I still stand by what I said. Now the question is, do I trust legislation to make a good decision that doesn’t fuck over everyone in the end? And if so, do I trust a multi-billion dollar company to not do some horrendous malicious compliance?
… and I’m not going to answer these questions. :|

Another scary thing is Palantir who’d be all for the push for verification with them positioning themselves to make money off of it, and wanting to be responsible for collecting data on everyone. They already turned out to be a partner of Discord through Persona.
They’ve already pushed for government contracts even in Europe. And with how things look like with the US government how much confidence is there in the US government.
I’m not sure government involvement will lead to the type of outcome people think it will.
