ATTENTION BRITAIN! ๐ฌ๐ง
The UK now has a petition to STOP CENSORSHIP by MasterCard and VISA of legal products!
This joins the Australian and Canadian petitions that are gaining momentum. Come on, let's get these signed! And spread the word!
The UK petition: petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1...
Petition EN7799 - Stop VISA and MASTERCARD from dictating access to Legal Content. Petition Status The petition is currently open for signatures OPEN CLOSED ไธ้ชไธใ 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 โopen anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,โ as โpayment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.โ

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.

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.

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.

Holy crap!
There's an ACTUAL NUMBER for PayPal in this!
PayPal is NOTORIOUS for never giving out numbers!!! This is pure gold!
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.
No lies detected!

This is your responsibility @tinakotek.bsky.social and it's also going to be your legacy. Shameful.
