  • I will easily sound unpopular, but I don’t think it is a good strategy. It doesn’t matter if the “Protect the children” statement is genuine or pure gaslighting. What counts is that it is an easy win for politicians, and if SKG ties up against age verification laws, the risk is that it could lose support of those politicians who have expressed their interest in it.

    Think about it: SKG could risk to be ruled out by those politicians who are endorsing the Online Safety initiatives. If these MEPs are put in the position to choose between “Protect the Games” or “Protect the Children”, there is no way they will choose the former, because the latter is an easier reputational win.

    It’s a matter of strategy: you should take a little battle at time, because the moment you are clubbing battles together, you are just increasing the probability of losing all of them together.
