CONTENT ETHICS STATEMENT

Artistic Representation

This pixel-art simulation is created for educational and creative discussion purposes. It does not depict any real individuals, and all characters are fictional representations designed to explore broader societal issues.

The use of pixel art serves both aesthetic and ethical purposes, ensuring that no identifiable personal information is displayed while maintaining the narrative's educational value.

Discussion Framework

Our content focuses on systemic issues rather than individual cases. We examine patterns in digital privacy, platform responsibility, and media ethics through hypothetical scenarios designed for educational discourse.

The goal is to promote critical thinking about digital rights, consent, and technological responsibility without targeting specific individuals or organizations.

Journalistic Integrity

While presented in a retro gaming aesthetic, our approach to privacy and ethics discussions maintains journalistic standards of accuracy, fairness, and public interest consideration.

We believe that innovative presentation formats can enhance rather than diminish serious discourse about important societal issues.
