FBI skal nå hjelpe spillselskapene med å få ryddet opp i trakassering og hat på nettet. I en detaljert rapport kan vi via Polygon lese at executive director for organisasjonen International Game Developers Association, Kate Edwards, har slått seg sammen med nettopp FBI:
"I had a meeting with the FBI in July regarding harassment. They noted a rise in activity. They themselves monitor this activity, but they're focused more on cybercrime issues like hacking and very malicious harassment."
Med tanke på den siste tids hendelser som eksempelvis bombetrusselen mot Sony Online Entertainment-sjefen John Smedley er det kanskje på tide å ta dette mer på alvor. Edwards fortsetter:
"If we see that an issue is getting worse or that there is a greater need then we will serve that purpose. Obviously, given the recent events, that may be the case. We are actually setting up an online resource on our IGDA site and we hope to have it up pretty soon."
FBIs talskvinne Emily Yeh la til:
"We wanted to let Ms. Edwards know the FBI's capability."
