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!

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.

Think its stupid that VISA and Mastercard think something as innocent as Cat Ear accessories are a bannable offense?
Then heres something you can do about it. Complain to visa and MC, call your representatives.
Advocate for porn, whole heartedly.

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

To give you an idea of how much they "care" about protecting children online.
Out of all states that have approved an age/ID verification bill, none have exemptions for CSA victims to access support groups. MO only forces adult sites to show a helpline number.

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
These are the "high risk" payment processors actively advertising themselves as friendly towards adult content
There is no "oh just use [alternative]" to fall back on. There is no other service or platform to save us.
It is NOW. We either fend them off NOW or we are all fucked

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.

"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!
Reading through hundreds of games journalism headlines from major outlets and revealing the gaming press has effectively stopped covering the paypro issue made me visibly mad on stream
