IGN is paying attention to censorship again. Use their momentum, call visa and mastercard, tell them you read the article, ask them why they're censoring legal stuff

Really wild situation here: a celebrated and well-regarded indie dev and publisher is facing shutdown because Valve banned their game from Steam and won't talk to them about it, at all.

LRP: now and then I catch bozos like this still following/interacting with me for some god forsaken reason despite all the metaphorical barbs I try to cover myself in and I need you to know that you malicious clowns are the absolute scum of the earth.

No company should be able to affect the world as much as MasterCard can.
MasterCard is marketing its new MasterCard Threat Intelligence platform to issuers & acquirers. A source familiar w/ MasterCard’s internal operations told me MTI is flagging anime, VTubing, adult content, tabletop, video games as potentially “high fraud risk”

In other words, because my art can be considered anime, and I draw D&D characters, my financial information could get flagged by MasterCard's AI and I'll lose everything. PayPal, Ko-fi, my bank account- everything.

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.
In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

My advice, as a former call center supervisor, is to fish for ways to escalate your call to a supervisor. Upper management HATES when the supe call cue is long. We used to be in perpetual callback hell back where I worked and they constantly devoted extra resources to combating it.
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

Sure! Mastercard, Visa, Stripe + Paypal are further restricting what kinds of perfectly legal adult content you can buy through their processor (they cracked down on itchio and steam over the summer, not to mention Patreon a few years ago). We're tired of them acting like dictators instead of tools.
I don’t happen to have a Mastercard, but can you remind me why I’d be upset with them if I did?

Practically every other time I buy a steam game my card gets flagged for fraud, and I have bought a few steam games a year for over a decade. These are not anywhere close to being adult games either. MasterCard just hates them apparently.

Been a minute since I posted my Mastercard/Visa strats to drag out the call
1. Ramble at the beginning for as long as you can - goal is to clog the line
2. They won't insist on card # if you say you're in public
3. When you get disconnected call back and lodge a complaint about it immediately

The reason you see AI pushed so hard in products, ads and promoted posts is that they know people don't WANT to use it but they are desperate to recoup on their millions in investments.
They wouldn't be over-saturating your feed with AI tools if people were buying these things on their own.

This feature can be disabled by going to Invoicing -> Feedback and toggling 'Collect feedback' off there (on a business account, at least)
Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

This is why it's really imp't for regular folks to speak up, keep calling, and hopefully get wider coverage in media. sex workers and people in the scene can get retaliated against easily bc paypros can shriek "high risk! high risk!"
Harder to do that to normies and customers just asking questions

(2) I am seeking legal options to prevent further blacklisting
