Video game use is skyrocketing all across the world, and China continues to gain ownership of game developers and companies. That means, behind your child’s favorite video game is the Chinese Communist Party’s attempt to influence and also steal your private data. On this episode, we talk about China’s increased interest in international gaming, how they harvest user data, use game stories to change historical context for learning, and why it’s imperative that parents and gamers take an active role in curtailing what’s played online.

One of these debates that resurfaces with every cycle is that of net neutrality. This is the basic idea that internet service providers have to be neutral about the way they provide access to different areas of the Internet. The company you pay to provide you with internet shouldn’t restrict your access to websites based on their political alignment, for example.

So what is going on with net neutrality now? And why does it matter? I sat down with Annie Chestnut Tutor, Policy Analyst in the Tech Policy Center here at the Heritage Foundation, to find out.
