Next is most likely Canada. All social media accounts will be deleted on my end if this happens, and I won't be spending another dime Online either, except for physical goods on Amazon and such.

Steam can see your account's region through a VPN.

Companies are not just going to always accept a vpn if they are still liable.

VPNs have an obfuscation feature that hide you are using a VPN.

What's coming are RealIDs which will require something like a driver's license and/or social security number tied to your social media accounts. VPNs are useless for these types of situations.

Not sure if Steam will fall under that umbrella, but that's what's coming in the name of "protecting the kids".

Protecting the politicians, the 1%, and tiny middle east country.

You can't block anything from anything.

Besides the steam forums isn’t really social media… it’s a forum.

Valve wrote a Steam client specifically for China, based on the CCP's restrictions.

They can just do the same for the UK.
