With payment providers enforcing their moral decisions on what you can offer in your shop, capitalism has reached the stage of replacing religion. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf
@mbybee @thelobdegg guess why?
And the only correct solution would've been to tell #AMEX, #VISA, #MasterCard & #PayPal to 'go fuck themselves'…
Itch.io Begins Massively Censoring Games With No Warning
Free speech is taking another massive hit as game distribution site, Itch.io has begun removing and hiding games.
It seems that the campaign to massively censor video games is continuing. Last year, Australian law makers began pushing for an age verification law for vi

You Shouldn’t Have to Make Your Social Media Public to Get a Visa - no sh*t Sherlock. #visa #Visas #travel #USPol #USPolitics #ForeignPolicy https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/07/you-shouldnt-have-make-your-social-media-public-get-visa
I am sick and tired of #MasterCard and #Visa holding not only adult sites but also Steam or Itch (most recently) hostage for selling adult content.
If there is sufficient moderation to keep the content away from minors then what's the problem?
Why we have this perverse view of the world where killing other people is much more okay and less-moderated than actual human anatomy and reproductive behavior?
Rip your Itch.io library (owned and otherwise) with itch-dl : https://github.com/DragoonAethis/itch-dl
Itch.io has had to shadow ban all erotic and NSFW content after pressure from payment providers https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content . Payment providers are increasingly become censors of content raising issues around neutrality of banking and payment systems. #censorship #visa #mastercard
Copy/Paste from Earlier:
For those of you in the US (I'm Canadian), there is a bill in congress right now that would make it illegal for any financial service provider to directly or indirectly prohibit or inhibit any legal transaction. It's called the Fair Access to Banking Act, H.R.987 in the House, S.401 in the Senate. Call your representatives. Get it passed.
And now for the addition: In addition to Steam being Censored by these fucksticks, https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content is now too.
#MarcoRubio gave #Harvard a one-week deadline to produce a lengthy list of #university records related to the #StudentVisa program. He said the department plans to interview university staff associated with the program & also may want to speak with #visa holders.
A Harvard spokesman did not immediately comment. A #State Department spokeswoman declined to comment.
The #Trump admin has opened a new investigation into #HarvardUniversity’s *compliance* with a government-run #visa program for #InternationalStudents & #professors, targeting the elite #college with the third aggressive action since the 2 sides restarted talks to end their acrimonious *dispute* [Trump attacks].
Secy of #State #MarcoRubio notified Dr. Alan M. Garber, the president of #Harvard, of the investigation in a letter on Wednesday….

@morsuapri IMHO sollte die @EUCommission mindestens die 30% #Strafsteuer auf #DigitaleProdukte & #Services verlangen die die #USA von nicht-Residenten kassieren.
The European Commission seeks to triple entry fee for short-term visa-exempt visitors.
The Commission has proposed bumping the fee for visa-exempt travellers arriving in the bloc for short stays from €7 to €20, a senior EU official has confirmed.
An ETIAS authorisation is required for short-term stays (up to 90 days) in these countries by nationals of visa-exempt states such as the UK, US, Canada, Brazil, and Australia.

Payment processes as content censors. Being de-banked is a frequent problem for sex workers.
