Looks like Steam is having a messy crackdown on sex games
Steam just made a major shift in its adult content policy: games that violate the “rules and standards” of payment processors, credit card companies, banks, or ISPs are now banned from the platform—with “special attention” to adult-only content, like noscripts featuring incest, which have already been quietly removed in bulk. The trouble is, Valve’s not giving devs any real specifics, so now what’s allowed largely depends on the vague (and often moralistic) guidelines of payment processors, making things confusing and uneven for both creators and players.
In short: Valve’s letting banks and payment companies call the shots, especially on controversial sexual content, which means more bans and uncertainty ahead for “edgy” adult games. 😬

Telegram user identification by face
Users of Telegram's test server have discovered a verified bot that scans users' faces with a camera—likely to identify their identities.
This bot's development is likely linked to a law that will soon enter into force in the UK. This law requires websites and applications distributing content to verify the age of users wanting to access it, particularly when it comes to pornographic material.
The editorial team of @tginfo believes that there will be no requirements for user identification outside of the UK in the near future.

Twitch starts testing vertical video streams
Twitch is now testing vertical video livestreams to rival TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, but it’s only available to a small group of streamers for now. The new feature includes a vertical theater mode, a dedicated UI, and lets users toggle between vertical and classic views—plus, you’ll get a quick “vertical video is here” intro the first time you try it, and you can switch back any time you want.
Twitch plans to expand these tests to more channels later this year—would you watch Twitch streams in vertical mode, or are you loyal to the classic look? 👀

US tech CEO suspended after Coldplay concert embrace goes viral
A viral “kiss cam” moment at a Coldplay concert showed two Astronomer execs—allegedly CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot—embracing on the big screen, then awkwardly ducking for cover when they realized they were being broadcast to the stadium crowd. The clip exploded online, fueled by Chris Martin’s cheeky onstage comment about them "having an affair or just very shy,” and led to rumors and memes across social media.
As internet speculation grew, Astronomer placed Byron on leave and launched a formal investigation, with cofounder Pete DeJoy stepping in as interim CEO. While neither Byron nor Cabot confirmed their identities in the video, the company is treating the situation seriously and promising more details soon. Wild story, right‽ Want to know how company scandals like this usually play out? 😅
