Only the site's rules should. On a side note, I don't know where you are from (I am American), but I feel a lot of Americans don't know much about world news. A lot of us don't care about things that are happening in politics or in our neighborhood, either. Ignoring information for the sake of ignorant bliss doesn't make all of these things go away, though. With information comes power. Even if you decide to use those filters, if you ever want to get out of your bubble and learn about others, the news is a great source. Just don't let it give you a confirmation bias that everything in the world is bad. Reporting about kids birthdays, kittens, and rainbows doesn't make for interesting or educating stories. |
I don't think he was burying his head in the sand more along the lines that he was well aware of current affairs, and that the constant media overloaded world we now live is enough and while we have had non gaming news of all kinds in the past, todays political and social circumstances have lead to sharp increase in these articles, leading to some people feeling overwhelmed and feeling they can't get away from it. Still this story has a happy ending since those who would rather not see it can do just that now know about the filters.
