Senators only have so much time to pick and choose which issues to raise awareness about, so Steam seems like a weird fight to pick given the wider landscape ¯_(ツ)_/¯ . Given Steam received similar warning according the article and there hasn’t been a change. Could just be there’s a much higher chance of getting a change from Steam than a larger social media platform.
