      We agree, actually.

      However, someone somewhere has to moderate the things on a platform and to be fair steam famously doesn’t often.

    Yes, there are good reasons for moderating a platform that distribute games.

    The deleted article’s author question some of the feminist group’s claim, and highlight some involved parties are motivated by faith. But they’re don’t dispute the need for moderating Steam where necessary, for instance if there is CSAM.

    So I don’t see a good reason to censor those articles.
