#savespeech #stopKOSA ATTENTION! The House of Energy and Commerce has pushed a package of(now 18) "child safety" bills to a subcommittee markup. This means the bills will be likely voted on to go to a FULL committee markup, which sends it out to the House. Call the Committee. Tell them to vote NO

No vote today and there's still a lot of disagreement on these bills, but I wouldn't be complacent. Republicans say they're looking to "shoehorn" in KOSA, SCREEN or other restrictions into the must-pass defense bill coming up later this month. Make noise. There's poison in the sausage.

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked. Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight? Also go support Nakufin.

Hey, guys. Remember learning about Kristallnacht in school? Remember the whole Tulsa race massacre thing? You might be saying, "They can't do that! It's illegal!" or "But a judge said they can't do that." And? The enforcers are not righteous. No one is coming to save us. Oct 18. Go outside.

Y'all, please call, email, and/or write your representatives, then share WIDELY what this administration is doing to scapegoat, oppress, and violently erase trans folks. We need EVERYONE in on this.

YOU PROMISED US A BETTER, KINDER WORLD, AND THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I ACCEPTED HAVING TO GET A JOB. FUCK YOU.

For those of you in Germany this is especially important as Germany's voice carries a LOT of weight and other countries can oftentimes be swayed by their decision so please, PLEASE do what you can!

The always lovely Tiamat did a wonderful job. FYI, this is more what I created this account for than political posting. Its just been a very political summer.

This is so true

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

What's the point of "protecting the children" when they don't even have their basic needs to begin with? Porn is not the the problem, nor trans people, immigrants or any marginalized groups. YOU are literally pulling money from programs that would PROTECT everyone. Banning porn won't fix anything

Visa hit me with the "we've given you everything, so we're hanging up now" But you know what? I just redialed and spent more time on the phone with a different agent. Payment Processors do not want to hear our opinions, but they're out of luck. Keep calling, and tell them you're not backing down.

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.

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Your reminder that 99.99% of the artists you interact with are sustained by a second job or spouse/family, and followers do not actually translate directly to dollars

They went from banning porn to full blown authoritarian overwatching over everything. Just like we said they would :)

This smells like it's headed rapidly toward LGBT ppl no longer being able to get Visa/MasterCard debit or credit cards in the near future. Trans esp. as the entire person would be deemed inherently pornographic at all times in all contexts, thereby delegitimating all income & expenditures.

The next steps aren't too tough to figure out. I need to get USA banks out of the loop ASAP & even that's not enough b/c Visa, MasterCard et al are multinational. This will not stay confined to content creators for long. bsky.app/profile/nadi...

CALL STRIPE CALL PAYPAL CALL MASTERCARD CALL VISA DO NOT. STOP. CALLING! #rocktheboat stop-paypros.neocities.org

The paypros and fake "banks" all seem to be getting pretty vindictive & retaliatory atp. This was inevitable. They want to discourage & demoralize us, but they're only pissing us off. Let them know how pissed off you are.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

Very interesting algorithm analysis, which explains the repeated problems with content moderation getting in the way of social justice tldr: it's always good to block a TERF or a white supremacist or any other type of fascist original post: www.tumblr.com/chiptrillino...

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

Today I wrote about a general tendency to accept atrocious premises, and the need to reject fascism's false choices in order to find expansive and imaginative paths forward. Breaking the premise, embracing the obstacles, pursing everything. www.the-reframe.com/there-is-no-...

www.rockpapershotgun.com/a-culture-of... Essential read. Be sure to boycott Microsoft (and therefore, Xbox) to support the workers risking their jobs to fight against Microsoft's complicity in the genocide

time to bring back the ol classic: i hope ***** ****

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

People think that conservative backlash is proof that we should take progressive change slow but actually its the opposite. We need to push through left-wing change at a blistering and impossible-to-keep up with rate the same way the right-wing does their cultural initiatives.

Again: These fascists have no idea what they are doing, but/and they will do whatever they can get away with. So keep pushing back, keep making them expend resources, and don't let them get away with shit.

From 2019-2024, Lowe's spent $46.6 BILLION on stock buybacks. That's enough to give each of its 273k employees a $28k bonus for the next six years. Instead, it paid its CEO 659x what it paid median employees. And we STILL think corporate tax breaks will magically trickle down?

So Visa and Mastercard have a huge problem with legal adult content "damaging their brand"? But somehow they dont't have any problem making money from child abuse in Roblox for over a decade (and going). Truly the right companies to be our moral guardians.

hey if youre sick of seeing all this shit about Payment processors and censorship ID laws etc trust me, us folks talking about it are sick of having to post about it too. we wanna be posting about anything else right now but we are collectively at a point of no return we HAVE to fight this. NOW.

🌙 Multislot YCH: Mega Preggy🌙 You'll get art an example like on YCH, with the same background (any color) and pose. 🔹50$ USD I draw any creatures / any gender (only SFW) I can draw another emotion, hairstyle, clothes, #belly / breast size etc. _____ #pregnantart #pregnancy #pregnant #furryart #furry

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

Welp. Internment camps are back. Can't exactly say I'm surprised.

"For selected products only, there's Mastercard."

this is why adult creators are really emphasizing that non-creators be the ones who contact paypal. Of all the paypros, PP is the most likely to act in a retaliatory manner towards individual accounts. If you dont make adult content or youre just a commissioner, you are able to help a LOT

Hey this is really fucking dire! Keep calling Stripe. This aligns with nothing they've previously told us

"But they'll arrest me!" THEN MAKE. THEM. ARREST. YOU! What game do you think we're playing at? What do you think the fucking stakes are, here?

Censorship of porn is just the test run. Age verification is going to kill the open web mashable.com/article/age-...

dusting off the pre-Obama censorship memes like

With the barrage of censorship campaigns lately, it’s extremely disappointing to see the lack of mutual support for NSFW creators and visibility on these issues from so many large SFW furry creators (my friends included) you could be using your platform for good! Buddy, they’re coming for all of us

More guts than all the government officials and law firm and university leaders who resigned or capitulated under pressure

THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO STOP!! We are winning, but we have not won fully!!! Keep calling!! stop-paypros.neocities.org
