Bloomberg, Endadget and the rest of the digital news world are reporting on Blizzard suspending a Hearthstone Pro for adding a pro-Hong Kong message at the end of his stream.
From Bloomberg
A unit of Activision Blizzard Inc. has punished a player for expressing support for Hong Kong's protest movement, the latest example of a U.S. company attempting to rein in speech that might displease the Chinese communist party.
Blizzard's official release says that he violated competition rules, namely
Engaging in any act that, in Blizzard's sole discretion, brings you into public disrepute, offends a portion or group of the public, or otherwise damages Blizzard image will result in removal from Grandmasters and reduction of the player's prize total to $0 USD, in addition to other remedies which may be provided for under the Handbook and Blizzard's Website Terms.

Sorry about the whole "reading TFA" thing, but at least now it is fixed, so that SN will no longer appear to be at the literacy level of 4chan, gab, or Trump.

If Soylents can't spell, then Soylents can't Fluence! If we are going to be illiterate, we will be left with Ethanol_Fulumoxxed and Runmyway1965, neither of which is a good place to be as an influencer blog! Bad enough we have the handicap of TMB, whom we have to explain every time strangers come to visit.
(He's like a Minotaur, really good at coding Perl, but not someone you would want to let out of the labyrinth. I really hope we can keep that new kid, Perseus, with his Rust, away from the TMinotaurBuzzard, else some bad things will happen.)
