Steam chat blocks mentions of torrent site

Thats different.

If you attempt to talk about kickass.to in Steam chat with someone, the message doesn't go through. No notification to either you or the person you are talking to that this is happening. No one knows why that domain and not others. You can talk about piratebay no problem.

How strange.

Could it be because kickass.to is far and away the best torrent-search site ever?  It must be pissing off a lot of people.  They had moved to torrent.so, that got seized, and within hours, they were back up at .to.  There are mirror sites all over too (though some of those are supposedly unsafe).  Pretty hard to kill.
