  5. Another example of corporate #greed: Consolidated Communications abruptly increases "fees" by over 100% for basic services like voice mail and distinctive ring. I've no choice but to pay; they're the monopoly provider for my landline service.

    #Vermont regulators & legislators: please protect consumers from these outrageous increases!

  6. As a member of the European Union Parliament, I recently spoke about the importance of protecting consumers in the video game industry. Specifically, I called for a ban on loot boxes and gambling-like mechanics in games, as these can be harmful and exploitative, especially for minors.

    To achieve this goal, I proposed several concrete measures:

    1. Implement filters to detect and remove sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, or mobbing content from online communities.
    2. Regulate corporate practices that prioritize profits over player well-being, such as using opaque monetization models or manipulative psychological tactics.
    3. Introduce stricter guidelines for game developers to ensure they are not exploiting players with gambling-like mechanics or predatory microtransactions.
    4. Educate players and parents about the potential risks of video games and provide resources for responsible gaming practices.

    By taking these steps, we can create a safer and more responsible gaming environment for everyone in the EU. #ProtectConsumers #ResponsibleGaming #NoLootBoxes #BanGambling
