Its pretty fucking sad that's a thing they built into the game and that a lot of people will do.
I dont get it myself but as long as I dont have to interact with it, its w/e. I'd say the only legitimate complaint I could have is taking away resources for things I like, but the people who enjoy that crap could say the same thing. I can see why, especially when apparently the online thing was very popular, so I can see something like that exploding even more and the flock of twitch streamers that will do both. Also got to hook another generation on their IP, who were too young for the last one.

They said if you are super naughty on the ingame socials they will ban you from them, but not like the game or online or anything. It shouldn't require much of an explanation into why, its bad PR if people are praising Hitler or blaming jews all over the place in game and Take Two isnt going to want the headache or loss in sales. People forget the only reason Twitter is essentially unmoderated is because Musk doesnt REALLY care if it makes money he just wanted to be in control of the flow of information, any profit driven company isn't going to drive away consumers.

That said I am sure its all AI moderating it, and I look forward to people trying to get around it by being Palestinian supporters or something and getting all the engagement bait articles created.
Policing speech in a game where you go around mass killing people is just a juxtaposition in clown world I find immensely funny and entertaining.

Reminds me so much of the internet today, at least major sites. Places like YT. They will show you people dying, getting hit by cars etc, but will bleep a curse word or blur a nipple. It's hilarious.

Not sure if its their actual beliefs or just doing everything they can not to get dog piled by the karens of the world and lawsuits.Could think the same thing here really, is it the developers or their mimic of the real world.

I can only laugh and shake my head.

I thought that 150 facts post said you won't be able to post content on the sim social media since your characters are trying to lay low. You'll be able to follow people though.
