i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

#SaveSpeech starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again! stop-paypros.neocities.org

A source familiar w/ internal workings at MasterCard notes the company does not plan to recruit additional call center workers for the Christmas season, as MasterCard does not expect higher call volume than usual. A resurgence of calls re censorship during the busy season would be huge strategically

Hey y'all. Have you made your calls today? Or this week? You don't know where to call? Here's a handy graphic for you. The more we let things pass, the more payment processors will censor. You can help in changing that by calling, sending mail, e-mail and being a general pain in the ass to them.

When calling your reps denanding they block/repeal age/ID laws, mentioning how many of these laws on fact BLOCK CSA victins from support is something you should do! We can "think of the children" right back at them

Dieselbrain really stresses an important point here, and this is why you likely haven’t seen itch announce a high risk payment processor to work with yet

I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

Hey furries: all that work that's been done to pressure payment processors not to ban NSFW and queer media will be for nothing if any of these bills pass. I know democracy is dead in the US but we have a duty to try anyway. Peep the linked post for info about what you can do to help.

Public PSA. Please repost so this reaches others. Your accounts are at risk. Do NOT respond to DM's that start with "Hi, do you have a minute?" or "Hello, are you busy at the moment?" They're hacked accounts. Do NOT add them on Discord under any circumstance. Report them, they are exploiting. +

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

You gotta keep talking about the issue! Paypros havent reversed their policies on Itch or Steam yet! Keep talking about it, keep contacting influencers, news outlets and legislators about the issue! Keep it in the public consciousness!

I made a quick and dirty anti-censorship cheat sheet to help onboard people and direct their energy in a productive direction. This isnt as comprehensive as various websites being shared around, but it should be easy to share and save. Save the png and repost as widely as you can
