It's like the pot calling the kettle black. The US Senate is nothing but an actual extremist content machine.

To be fair, steam forums are a hot pile of garbage so the senator is correct in pointing that out at the very least

He's an US senator, he's probably angry steam didn't yet banned all Russians, Chinese and muslims.

What do I miss here? Steam is a game purchase platform and game running environment, how are they "normalizing hate and extremism in the gaming community"?
