there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

mastercard acting like the 5 year old who swears they didn't break the vase when their mom comes home

If they give some bs about it being a "high risk merchant" you can ask them "so you're just sweeping all LGBTQIA content under high risk? That's serious discrimination" and when they deny it, then ask again what they've found that's actually illegal. Circle forever

As said a lot of times:
- this needs to go on until they accept defeat
- your calls and emails should remain on the topic and make a complaint about your inability to spend money on legal things
- ask for a case number, ask for a supervisor, send mail if they ask to the @ given
- it's a marathon
Visa employees clearly told to deescalate ASAP
MasterCard employees more than familiar with the issue
Stripe feeling the pressure
ACLU put out a statement
CBC covered all this

What you are doing is WORKING
You are getting RESULTS
KEEP CALLING
KEEP WRITING
WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!

Was asked if I engage with any adult sexual content on my account and I said no. They're looking for reasons to freeze you so those of us who don't run our business through paypal need to be tanks for those that do

A different operator hung up again!! Y’all keep calling, all they do is read a bullshit script and disconnect the call. The best we can do is take up their time bc they’re trying to steamroll us.
VISA HUNG UP ON ME AFTER 7 MINS LMAO

omg they’re pissed. I hit a wall when I said “I can’t buy something and my bank says it’s bc of visa” and the operator just kept repeating “email us. I told you everything I can. I’m disconnecting the call now”
