[Answer: It's just about the Senate Commerce Committee markup of the Kids Online Safety Act - Not likely to reach senate floor before midterms - House and Senate have incompatible versions - in many years of trying they never managed to get it to pass - is harmless but harder to do in the USA because of legal differences from the UK - and Valve just asks adults to add a credit card for age verification - because in the UK you can only get one if over 18 - to access mature content that is illegal to sell to kids in the UK not for age approriate games like Witchers - to post:] ◀ What's That Supposed To Mean?
