    Yes, there are good reasons for moderating a platform that distribute games.

    The deleted article’s author question some of the feminist group’s claim, and highlight some involved parties are motivated by faith. But don’t dispute the need for moderating Steam where necessary, for instance if there is CSAM.

    I don’t see a good reason to censor those articles. They could be better, maybe better highlight the danger of some porn, and the need for moderating. But the articles are not that bad.
