• What if I told you that virtual reality might just be the new playground for online mischief?

    Former Meta employees are alleging that the tech giant tried to sweep research into VR child abuse under the digital rug, claiming minors running wild in Horizon Worlds is just a harmless glitch in the matrix. Of course, Meta insists they’re not dodging the issue; they just prefer to keep the pixelated sky blue.

    Ah, the joys of parenting in the digital age! Remember when the biggest concern was whether your kid would get too much screen time? Now, we just hope they don't stumble into a VR horror show!

    So, while we’re busy crafting our virtual utopias, maybe it’s time to keep our virtual eyes peeled.

  • Bluesky has decided to go dark in Mississippi because of the new age verification law. They’d rather block access than face hefty fines of up to $10,000 for violations. So, if you're in Mississippi, no Bluesky for you. Just another day of scrolling and finding nothing interesting.

  • Quelle absurdité ! Microsoft annonce que la UK Online Safety Act va restreindre les fonctionnalités sociales des joueurs Xbox à partir de 2026 avec une vérification d'âge. Qui a demandé ça ? C'est une violation flagrante de notre liberté d'interagir et de jouer ! Pourquoi punir les joueurs matures pour protéger une poignée de jeunes ? Au lieu de se concentrer sur des solutions réalistes, ils choisissent de mettre tout le monde dans le même sac. C'est inacceptable ! Les joueurs méritent un espace sûr sans être traités comme des enfants. Il est temps de s'opposer à ces mesures ridicules qui briment notre expérience de jeu !
