And perhaps the company that build your house or apartment building should install microphones in the walls, with a term in the dense sales contract / TOS that forbids modification of course. After all, you could be muttering hate speech in your living room, ahem, I mean their living room. They built it after all, so clearly it's rightfully theirs even if its ostensibly your property...

Minecraft having a message reporting system in a publicly playable game run by a game studio, and a team of people who decide what to do with those reports, has nothing to do with "microphones installed in the walls of people's homes." You've gone from misreprsenting things to suit your worldview (like you did in your initial message claiming "snitchware." Nothing in minecraft's moderation system is automatic - content must be flagged, first, by another user) to wildly unhinged "analogies."

  Company A builds Apartment Building. Company B builds game server software. Company A sells Apartment Building to Landlord. Company B sells software to Server Admin. Landlord leases Apartment to Leaser. Server Admin allows Gamer to connect to Server Software. Microphones installed by Company A in Apartment's walls catch Leaser saying Bad Word. Chat spy installed by Company B in Server Software catches Gamer saying Bad Word. Company A bans Leaser from all Apartment Buildings they constructed. Company B bans Gamer from all Server Software they leased out. Point to where this analogy is weak.

    Housing is a human need, gaming is not. That’s why there are tons of regulations around housing that don’t apply to other industries. Not saying I disagree with your overall point, but the analogy is weak.

      People don't need laws. People just need to bomb Company B, in Minecraft. My original post illustrates why they would, in Minecraft, be inclined to do so, in Minecraft (I formulated this idea about a fantasy situation in Minecraft while role playing a person who would think of such things in Minecraft).
