A federal judge in Pennsylvania ruled that the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 can be used to deport migrants with suspected gang ties. Separately, concerns were raised about the Nintendo Switch 2's user agreement, which reportedly allows the company to remotely deactivate consoles. This reflects a broader trend in "licensing" where consumers no longer truly own hardware or software, a model also associated with Tesla's vehicle systems.

John C. Dvorak presents a theory that Japanese video games are being used for social engineering and propaganda in the United States. He cites Nintendo's E3 press conference and games like "Xenoblade Chronicles," which feature themes of "duty of growth" and "princess powers." Dvorak argues these games instill a "slave mentality" and prepare the youth for specific political structures, such as a female presidency.
