This is a Senator firing an opening salvo with a vague threat of government action.

Warner also warned, somewhat ominously, that if Valve does not adopt industry-standard moderation practices—whatever that means—it will "face more intense scrutiny from the federal government for its complicity in allowing hate groups to congregate and engage in activities that undoubtedly puts Americans at risk."

Nothing has been done with government force, yet. Maybe he will drop it, maybe he won't, but at the moment I'm responding to a Senator floating the idea of using government power to wade into Steam forums.
