      Good after what happened in France to Jean Pormanove, more countries should start banning this kind of content.

      This is a good thing. More countries need to do this.

    3. Please! Finally crack down on the nuisance streamers. They waste community resources like police officer’s time, hassle working, productive people, and harass helpless citizens just trying to live their lives. End the age of the Johnny Somali-like goons. Send em all to jail.

    4. Great move. Do self-destructive stuff like Alcohol, Food overconsumption, and drug use next. Some of that shit is hella disturbing, and providing a profit incentive behind it is only a societal negative.

    5. Excellent. Add pieces of shit that prompted bigotry/xenophobia, and you’ll root out much of the vitriol in online spaces.

      I understand the rationale behind it and I respect and agree with it, but knowing the way the world is going, they will use this to harass streamers who cover things like protests that the mainstream news (especially in repressive countries) wouldn’t give air time to. I hate hate hate humiliation/incognito streamers (I’m a female uni student so I’ve been on the receiving end) but I dunno if I trust governments to have this ability and be decent.

      Good for Poland! We need this protection in the U.S.! It would resolve so many issues!

    8. I saw a video (documentary type video) a few months ago about this and I have to say GOOD.

    9. Streaming culture has gotten out of hand with some of its content and certainly needs to be punished when it crosses the line of human decency.
