Petition EN7799 - Stop VISA and
MASTERCARD from dictating access to Legal Content.
Petition Status
The petition is currently open for signatures
OPEN
CLOSED
ไธ€้›ชไธ€ใ€‡
PRESENTED RESPONDED
Petition Reason
VISA and MASTERCARD control the payment processor market, in a monopoly, that is not regulated in the least. These companies openly dictate access to services, sales, or operations, of legal items, or legal businesses, based on their own political views. Credit Card Processors should only be there to process legal transactions, and not dictate what someone spends their money on. VISA and MASTERCARD are so big and control a market that can be equated to a utility. There are no alternatives widely available in the market, despite these companies acting as a key part of all payment infrastructure. just like water companies or electricity providers are regulated to prevent them from stopping service based on arbitrary views,
VISA and MASTERCARD should be held to the same standard.

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament โ€œopen anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,โ€ as โ€œpayment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.โ€

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collectionโ€™s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Word to Chicago protesters: going โ€œfloppyโ€ is a tactic that annoys police, wastes their resources, and makes them look bad.

Just to note-

While I understand some folks may feel exhausted by hearing about this;

This kind of thing has to be continually talked about and brought up so it CAN'T just go away like they want it to.

These companies want this to stop and be less painful for them, so-

Don't give them that.

What really boggles my mind is that literally every adult was a child at one point. You'd think there'd be some empathy.

If your complaints would make you sound like a psychopathic nazi lunatic if they were referring to another demographic, then just maybe you shouldn't say them about kids.

Thinking "Someone else will do it" is the assurance that no one else will do it, and everyone will lose. Keep up the calls, keep up the emails, keep up the pressure.

photo of a sculpture on a white backdrop. The sculpture is a red creature on a lavender base. The basehas green leaves growing around it. The creature is bright red with leaves growing from its head and dark blue eyes. It's holding a blueberry off to one side with a bitchy look on its face. It does not want you to take its blueberry. It also has a tiny knit scarf on.

If youโ€™ve ever wanted to buy a print of mine, now is a great time since I have been waiting for ages on publishers to pay me, and Inprint is running a summer sale!

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

If anyone can please help me prepare for a major surgery. It will cost me my wages for ~three years~ if i do not have mutual aid. I'm pretty much the only one who works. I'm about to do a proper gofundme, but in the meantime if anyone can please help me buy food and pay for additional checkups..
