Challenges in Regulating Video Games
Summary by NewsWall Mar 28 23
- The game industry is adopting a classification system that resembles that of social media instead of the film industry.
- As video games become more realistic, they also attract more regulation.
- The content debate around digital games is now less about what developers have included and more about what other players contribute.
- Similar to social media, regulators are uncertain about how far they should go in censoring speech.

Quick Glance: Support for Glazer's Oscar Speech: Open Letter from Jewish Hollywood Professionals
- More than 150 Jewish Hollywood professionals, including Joaquin Phoenix and Joel Coen, support Jonathan Glazer after facing intense backlash for his Oscar speech.
