My link goes into it, but thats what the court oversight commission in the state wants. An inhouse system where streams and their features are centrally controlled. They have not been able to get funding to stand that up, but they have been advocating for it.
Their current recommendation is that YouTube comments be disabled, but they don’t have the legal mandate to enforce that apparently. This judge’s shitty behaviour may help them make that case at least.
He was trying. He clearly didn’t go hard enough on the “pay to play” schemes.
