Ana has been going through it the last few weeks as payment processors have pretty transparently been retaliating for the spotlight she's given them. If you can spare anything, please send something her way - we genuinely don't know when/if things might get dicey for her again.

So I've heard from the grapevine that this group supports KOSA and is using the Epstein situation to push the need for KOSA.
I want the Epstein Files released. I don't want kids to see nsfw content. KOSA DOES NOT SAVE THEM. DONT FALL FOR THIS PLOY.

Spoke to a second source familiar with what’s going on with paypro censorship toward me. It seems I’ve been blacklisted among paypros as a creator, particularly for mommy domme content. This could escalate into debanking, I learned

"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.
"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

This is their end game, between game deplatforming, paypro restrictions/censorship, age verification, and digital ID: blacklist and debank the dissenter.
We must not yield. We must grow louder. We must push EVERYONE to fight. Every person.

Giving ai the ability to debank people is out of fucking hand. Anyone could be cut off for literally unknowable reasons like using inane words like surely too many times (whatever the ai latches onto as a 'pattern' between high risk individuals), and give the pretense to go after literally anyone
