Corporations lobbying and controlling a narrative? Woah, haven't heard this one before.

The problem, is the same people who think bombing poor middle east countries as their god's will. Also think drawings are a great sin.

And regretfully, they still have lots of political/financial power. Their existence reminds me that their is no god. For I see them, and I only see evil.

Of course there isn't. But neither any other magical creatures. The world is pretty raw once you understand it.

Credit card processors really want to speedrun their demise by pushing people onto crypto. Like do they have any idea how much money people will dump on goonerslop?

you dont need to donate to a NGO for that, just donate to Israel!

Problem here's (as every other company) payment processors are free to do business with you or not and they'll use that power. If steam would say we don't cave steam would have a FAR bigger problem, because you can't buy game with creditcards anymore.

Like I said; use other services.
They seem to be under the impression they have a monopoly, let them know this isn't the case.

Paypal isn't the only thing to pay stuff online with. Nor is visa or whatever.
Just discontinue their service, state your reason, maybe they'll even catch on.

If you have to get yet another payment processor to pay for these things, you might as well use this new payment processor for everything else too.

Problem is they talk amongst themselves so if you switch don't be surprised if you be rejected

Unfortunately, given this is basically landlords holding entire businesses hostage under direct claim of right to market control, and their functional total monopoly and seeming complicity with eachother, this cant be solved by a boycott. This will require legislation prevent it from happening.

contact your local, county, state, and federal representatives as respective, and inform them that groups of landlord(server hosters), banks, and credit lenders are attempting to usurp formal control over the operations of public businesses and the public market though backroom deals and threats of undue termination of services. These people are attempting to be an unelected leadership which is determining what goods or services are or are allowed to be exchanged by the populace. Warn them that you will volunteer to aid bills that protect your rights as and independent market agent, and tell this message to business owners and fellow consumers alike.

My understanding of this is that banks do not want to be associated with companies that break the law or operate in a grey area - meaning whether directly or indirectly.

There's increasing pressure from states and countries towards companies that in any way allow or fail to prevent adult material being sold to children or illegal material being sold.

The banks are right to do so. They will only damage themselves if they are associated with grey transactions. If the companies don't like it, they can source other payment methods.

I very much suspect that this is just the start of a real clampdown on porn. The internet went too far, now there will be kickback.

Which ones? I saw this thread yesterday with the rage bait but they didn't even say who was doing it. My guess? No-one. Banks like money.

Visa and MasterCard

They removed most H games basically

Just shift the narrative around what’s seen as good and what’s seen as toxic. Wokeism was once seen as virtuous, now it’s poison for brands.

Feminism will be next; call a woman a feminist today and you’ll notice some already take it as an insult.

After that, we can push back against censorship in the name of artistic freedom or whatever framing works best.
