Only two out of nine social networking services, Habbo Hotel and Xbox LIVE, have default settings which make minors’ personal profiles accessible only to their approved list of contacts, according to a new round of tests undertaken for the European Commission. The two services have been suggested as being the safest social networks available by the self-regulatory “Safer Social Networking Principles for the EU” agreement.
Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.

One of the most popular versions of the title is available on Nintendo Switch and it just got even better. The Bedrock version of Minecraft just released for Nintendo Switch, both digitally on the Nintendo eShop and as a physical release.
Wow! First the minecraft play together video, then twitter and now this. What's next?
I don't want any intrusive Xbox stuff on my Playstation ecosystem. I understand that when you are surviving in the market you need to do things you may not like to survive. Sony is not on this position so it doesn't need to help the competition to survive.
A console without exclusive tied with a mini console without 3rd party and still beaten by THE KING
Losers are trying their best to gain a little momentum
just make games instead of this ridiculous gimmicky features
Has everyone completely forgotten Blinx?
Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own
Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!
lmao
Have these people actually been on Habbo? It's full of little teens saying "Type 1 if you want a girlfriend / boyfriend" ....
Yeah right. You got little kids exercising their racism and got dudes hitting and harassing on girls. You got 12 year old screaming and cursing. All this applies for playstation network too.
"The Commission is reviewing protection of minors online from such risks as grooming and cyber-bullying as part of the objective set by the Digital Agenda for Europe to enhance trust in the internet."
None of those networks they mentioned really prevents cyber-bullying
Also the titles on these articles need work in explaination.

This is about for the contact of minors. Nothing ever states the technology, nor the coding behind it. Even then, they fall for the "give info for free points" spam messages anyways, so it's not exactly the safest.
