“Gamer-Gate” had some influence on Trump beating Hillary due to guerrilla marketing/promoting MAGA through message boards and getting people to vote. These “basement dwellers” have a tendency to shun Statism and when threatened they become politically active.

potential law-breaking and extremist views for further investigation

NSA was butthurt when encryption escaped their control. Americans like me were required to use weaker encryption when we were outside the US. Gore wanted US companies to install a "clipper chip" government back door in US-developed communication equipment. I had to fly to Athens to debug a software version of Clipper Chip. The GWB administration continued the Darth Vader paradigm. And now the Biden gang. Kakistocracy.

Never heard about that. If so, they can stay. But I’m serious about the Cheetos crumb situation! ;)

When I was married before (Ugh!) and had three teen boys under my roof, the ex (computer guy) had the whole house wired. He set our computers up that way so in reality we (adults) could keep an eye on what the boys were up to at any given time.

The benefit of that was being able to play First Person Shooter games with one another. I got pretty good!

Kinda miss playing ‘Doom’ and ‘Blood.’ Me getting shot a lot wasn’t fun, but the music was always good, LOL!

Extremist gamers?

Seems there may be more serious things going on that the Feds should be looking into (i.e. terrorists crossing the Southern border)?

Thank you President Bush for the Department of Homeland Defense. Just what our Country needed, our very own extra-Constitutional Stazi-type organization...
