Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents'

  He’s probably just trying to get noticed by Trump. “Hey, look at me! I’m on the side of you and the other pedoNazis!”

    We already know they’re buddies; Tim Sweeney travelled to Saudi Arabia with Trump’s bribe-seeking entourage.

      He was on the list, but I couldn’t find him in any of the photos or videos from the event. The CEOs of Nvidia and OpenAI were indeed present and shaking hands though.

      I think the USA is a bit big to be considered an island

        Well if north-Korea can call itself and democracy, why can’t Trump call the us an island?

  Is EpicGames involved with Roblox? Because as far as minors go, I hear THAT game is a dumpster fire with zero redeemable qualities.

    Not really, no. It's clear that Epic took way worse a direction than Digital Extremes.

      Digital Extremes, the markers of Warframe?

        Indeed. DE branched off from Epic Games in the 90s, I believe. Obviously took a more ethical direction.

    As per their download page www.roblox.com/download , no. Not to say EGS is good, it’s Roblox treasuring independency where they can.

    Going by the claims their CEOs make you could swap the and things would progress as usual.

  Reason #42 for open platforms: to shut down every politician’s incessant demands to all gatekeepers to censor all of their political opponents," Sweeney wrote in a first tweet responding to MacRumors’ report of US politicians requesting that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores.

  Politicians want the offending apps removed from the app stores, and Sweeney thinks app store business is his business. He really ought to worry more about improving his own store.

    But, his store has nothing to do with X. And, for example, Horses was banned from EGS too.
