Ross explains how the EU Kids Act is cover for making private servers without age verification illegal, and expanding surveillance under the guise of protecting kids. Here's how to fight back: - Spread the word and this video far and wide! Let the public know what's happening! ...

The proposal mentions this applying to operating systems multiple times, but it's unclear if it's referring to all operating systems, or only operating systems with age verification. We've had lawyers look through this and there's no consensus Hence why it's in the MIGHT section and not DEFINETLY

#StopKillingGames is proud to announce that we are working with Senator John Kane of the Pennsylvania State Senate, on the Protect Our Games (POG) Act in Pennsylvania
Protect Our Games Act memo announcement by John Kane of the Pennsylvania State Senate, describing: video game manufacturers would be required to give customers at least 60 days' notice before ending access to the game or changing its features.

Additionally, the companies would also be required to provide customers with at least one of the following options:

The ability to use the video game offline
A patch to continue using the game online independent of the company's online gaming services
A refund in an amount equal to the highest price of the digital game offered by the digital game operator within the 12 months before the digital game operator ceases providing services for the ordinary use of the digital game. The refund amount cannot fall below 25% of the initial sale price of the game
Additionally, the bill would include exemptions for subscription-based services where access to games lasts only for the duration of the subscription.

If enacted, the bill would be enforced by the Pennsylvania Attorney General and the district attorneys.

You know where the power lies Which side are you on?
A comparison of messages between Stop Killing Games and the European Commission: Stop Killing Games wants to play the games they paid for, the Commission wants you to submit your face or ID to play private Minecraft servers with your friends or else you're breaking the law. At the bottom, text reads "Which Message will Resonate with Voters?"
