Minecraft Getting Sued, Android Blocking Indie Devs and Social Media Child Stars

Nerds Amalgamated

Mojang are being sued for breaking the laws of the European Union by changing their terms of service to ban gun mods. Spearheaded by a mod developer, this lawsuit is adjacent to Stop Killing Games but not quite part of it.

Google has announced a plan to block indie developers from publishing apps for Android without giving away their personal details. Professor is mad as hell and he's not going to take it anymore, and is seriously considering switching to a Linux phone.

Child stars and social media sounds like a bad time. Stars with experience have suggested that the child stars on the new Harry Potter series need to be trained to deal with it, which sounds like a good idea when you realise how much hate is going to get flung around just because the series isn't exactly the same as the originals.
