Valve is right to protect its Steam gaming platform from censorship

In an accidental homage to the 74th anniversary of the D-Day landings and their service of human freedom, Valve on Wednesday announced that it won’t restrict gaming content on its online Steam platform unless the content is “illegal, or straight up trolling.”

Valve’s decision follows controversy over Steam’s recent availability of a game centered on a school shooting. Steam previously removed that game from its servers but the new policy means that game and others involving pornographic content, for example, will now be available on Steam.
