That's a war crime. How is the fact that this headline is openly describing a war crime not the headline. Israel is doing war crimes.
Israel is in talks about possibly resettling Palestinians from the Gaza Strip in South Sudan. If implemented, the plans would amount to transferring people from one war-ravaged land at risk of famine to another.

Feels like "payment processor Stripe admits to being an anti LGBTQ hate group" should be an actual headline somewhere.
and to be clear, i was very clear in asking "can i use stripe for purchases of LGBT content" and both times, different operators have told me that Stripe does not support such transactions
theyre not even playing the "oh our brand doesnt discriminate!" song and dance

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
Israel just killed him.

In my opinion, keep calling and ask for details. Really get at PayPal and Stripe especially. Play the dumb consumer, business peeps can bring up your perspective, and ask them why Australian extremists can influence American free speech. Be clear, be polite, and keep. fucking. calling.

KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill!
And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic!
We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥

Neither Visa and Mastercard have accounts on Bluesky because they know the real people are here, not on X or Meta.
They don't want to deal with real people. Visa wanted me to email them when I called to file a complaint. I made them take my complaint on the phone.

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?
We got like way more people than that don't we?

ok then. one angle of attack then needs to be actively bombarding Visa and Mastercard's phone numbers and emails.
are customer support phone numbers/emails the best avenue to start with or is there a better option?

There are vanishingly few places for adults to sell works of art to adults online thanks to the christofascist policies of payment processors deciding what is allowed. Artists are watching their entire income and livelihoods disappear overnight. Please help us and sign.
This itch.io NSFW policy change is unfortunately nothing new, the problem isn't the platforms themselves but rather Visa/MC strong-arming these services into revising their NSFW policies.
So if you're eligible I invite you to sign this ACLU petition: action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.
