What simpering, hand-wringing worthless slugs.
Because they’ve solved all other problems, Congress is wringing its hands over Pokémon GO.
Rep. Frank Pallone (D-New Jersey), the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, has sent a sternly worded letter to Pokémon GO creator Niantic. "We are writing to better understand what measures Niantic has undertaken to ensure consumers are informed of Pokémon GO's effect on their mobile data usage."
They’re also concerned about Pokémon GO’s impact on — get this — battery life.
Get real, writes Ed Krayewski at Reason. “It's up to individuals how much they want to consider their data usage when playing Pokémon GO. Most smartphones allow you to check data usage by app — I've used about 300MB of data on Pokémon GO in the last two weeks, hardly my most data-taxing app — and there are even apps to help monitor data usage instead.”
Oh, and as far as battery life is concerned, there’s a battery-saver setting for the game.
Rep. Pallone’s letter — also signed by Colorado’s Diana DeGette (D) and Illinois’ Jan Schakowsky (D) — does not explain which clause of the Constitution gives them the authority to muck around in Niantic’s business. Interstate commerce? General welfare? Necessary and proper?
