This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence

I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥

The privacy issue with KOSA "resonating with a large swath of people"-- that's you, that was you calling your reps. Don't let anyone tell you it's pointless

Let's do it again for the censorship bills in this new package

KOSA dropping duty of care is great but this article buries a very important lede:

A bill package will be introduced once the govt reopens that is a collection of multiple bad "child safety" bills, COPPA 2.0, the Sammy Act, and the App Store Accountability Act [age verification]

CALL YOUR REPS

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!

Flipping through this magic tome, there's all kinds of useful spells! "Enhancement" spells are some of my favorite, and I bet they might be 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 favorite too.~

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Become “profoundly irritating”

Pick up the phone. Let MasterCard know you’re a thorn in their side

I propose November 1st as resurgence day. Halloween ends, and we all pick up the phones again. MasterCard and Visa, bare minimum, once per day. Every day. All of us. They are only hiring the usual number of holiday workers, this would frighten credit card companies. “It’s not going away”

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass.

It NEEDS mass pushback.

#savespeech #fightchatcontrol #KOSA

gonna need all hamds on deck for this. That said, no matter what happens, do not panic. Shit is rough rn but we have to stick together and fight back, whether to stop the signature or demand stronger human rights protections.

Call your reps now.

Over a third of the old internet no longer exists, 87% of all video games before 2009 are lost media, 40% of the Million Dollar Homepage was dead links as of 2019, etc.

*And* this media void is being filled with mindboggling quantities of ai slop.

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.

Twitch thinking about implementing AI clipping tool, this means yalls voice is gonna be scraped.

You better vote against it.

Remember, if you think paypro censorship won't ever affect you because you're "one of the good ones", yes it will.

No matter how "awesome" or "funny" the merch may be
Under no circumstances must you give them a dollar

Show them they are not welcome here

They only care about money, and always will, only care about money

Keep furry weird, and keep the normies out.

This is our home, not theirs

KOSA is now in red alert priority.

Please contact your representatives, dem and gop alike, and demand they oppose KOSA!

We need to turn out in numbers against this!

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

Do NOT engage. Do not quote dunk, do not screencap. Do not @ with your witty zingers. Give them not one breath of oxygen here.

Block, ignore, move on.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

Please contact your senators about KOSA. This bill has amassed a lot of cosponsors.

We can beat this, but we need people to call, email and send letters en mass. Please try to contact your reps as often as you are able to and encourage people you know to join you!

Now's the time to call up Visa/MC to ask 'hey, how come you guys will pay for ChatGPT and Twitter subs but I can't buy certain games off of Steam?' Because I frankly would LOVE an answer to that...

go all soft in front of your love ones

Its the work week!

If you havent called yet, now is an extremely important time to contact your reps and demand they OPPOSE KOSA!

if your rep is a cosponsor, demand they drop their sponsorship!

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

#SaveSpeech

KOSA has amassed more cosponsors recently, jumping from 42 to 60 total

You need to call your reps and DEMAND that they oppose this legislation ASAP

Please call DAILY

Do not watch the HBO series.
Do not buy wizard game (2).

I usually don't judge too much, I get that not everyone is fully in the loop for everything. If you support JKR now, we are done.

This is a great time to remind everyone that you should in fact, still be calling MasterCard, Visa, Stripe, and other payment processors to annoy the shit out of them.

Because I'll tell you right now, that shitheel? Not gonna have to worry about them accepting payment.

*Artists will.*
