      Here’s one of the key views I shared at DICE. If a game tackles politics, as To Kill a Mockingbird did as a novel, it should come from the heart of creatives and not from marketing departments seeking to capitalize on division.https://twitter.com/LawofTD/status/1227690382189678592 …

      And when a company operates an ecosystem where users and creators can express themselves, they should should be a neutral moderator. Else the potential for undue influence from within or without is far too high.

          You're talking big companies here, right? A 10-person game studio doesn't really have that separation of "company" from "creators"

          Yes. Bigger companies and ecosystem companies in particular. On a sufficiently small indie team, maybe there is a mind meld on personal views and there needn’t be as much of a personal versus professional separation.

          Would you say the headline of the article "Epic Games Boss Says All Politics Should Be Removed From Game Companies" is misleading? Intentional or otherwise

          Headlines are editorial opinion. You always have to read the quotes to see what was actually said.

          This is the Twitter moderation problem. It doesn’t work. Being neutral with regards to certain forms of expression has a dramatically larger impact on the oppressed than the oppressors. The end result is the loudest most hateful voices thrive.

          Is this really about undue influence and ethics? Or is it simply maximization of profit from customers? It's easy to test this. Just think of a political stance that harms others in an unethical way... and have the company providing the platform say "we are neutral".

          What is a 'neutral moderator'? Moderation, if present, presumably requires opinion about acceptability or standards. It cannot be 'neutral'.

          Moderators can serve a function without having an agenda. We most often see the literal embodiment in debates, having standards of conduct doesn't mean the moderator favors one side or the other. Now doubting his sincerity is another thing altogether.

          I think the problem space is too large to take this as an absolute. Allowing a plurality of expression and the avoiding leveraging a platform for ulterior political motives or as a cudgel for regulatory capture are worthy goals...

          But there are some things you can draw moral boundaries around as abhorrent. Or, there are things like climate change; at large technical scale if you believe climate change is real and harmful, do you engineer to to reduce emissions or not? Some of these issues cross over.
