YouTube video by Keniisu What's REALLY Happening with Internet Censorship Right Now

Hey, trying to explain Online Censorship to people who arent in the nsfw scene or who arent as online as you are, and need some help?

This video is actually a really great primer on the current situation, and why we have to develop an absolutist stance on free speech for EVERYONE's sake.

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

Pay Victoria Thistle using PayPal.Me Go to paypal.me/momothistle and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Im crying and freaking out. Apparently Im overdrawn on my account. I don’t know what to do. It’ll be a fee on top of this. I don’t have that kind of money.

They were never going to stop at what was "legal" or not. They didnt to begin with!

All art/media is on the chopping block. You have to fight this NOW. keep calling, contact your reps. Make some noise!

If you’re new to the fight, please don’t be afraid to get involved! A lot of the ppl fighting since Day 1 need reinforcements or backup

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY.

Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

Respect must be paid

Add FADPA, ACPA and BlockBEARD to your list of bills youre telling your federal representatives to oppose alongside KOSA, IODA and the SCREEN Act

Remember you can just tell them "oppose these bills!". No need to say more unless you want to! Keep it simple!

If you’re using graphic as a label - many of us are not seeing your content, as we have it blocked.

- US orders will be in priority, but I'm hoping to send everything within next week
- My shop is powered by Str!pe (🤮) so PPl is not an option, sorry!
- Shop is in EU so if US payments don't go through - check with your bank to approve it (it's a common issue unfortunately)

good bit of info:

Figure I may as well spread the word on this as if there wasn't enough shit to worry about: They're trying to pass SOPA again under the guise of the BlockBEARD bill and some other bills.

Don’t Let MasterCard and Visa Censor Games

Fight for the Future has a petition set up that to urge Visa and Mastercard to stop censoring games, as well as urge lawmakers to step in against their overreach

Petitions cannot materially do much, but theyre great for communicating raw numbers. Its worth the 60 seconds itll take to sign it.

the usual vagueness is present here that is usually a bad sign to come for adult content.

Please see the posts in the thread for context abt our concerns because the devil is always in how these rules are enforced. Rampant overcorrection that stifles art and gets people deplatformed who have done nothing wrong is a result we've seen over and over.

Dear young artist,
I've been doing this for forty years and here's the one piece of advice I have for you: be out in your work. Be as weird as you ever hope to be right from the start. That's what we need right now, and you'll get to meet the people who crave your weirdness.
Love ya, Auntie

After struggling to get by for years my ME has become severe enough that I am completely homebound until further notice. I'm trying to apply for disability benefits but the process is incredibly slow. Commissions, kofi donations and the etsy shop are the only way I get any income. Please help me out

Keep calling. This issue can't die.

It starts with delisting games, but the likely goal is to enact a new morality police that can silence marginal groups and anyone who speaks out against the status quo.

The payment processors are feeling the squeeze! Let your voice be heard!

whether a bill is up for vote or not, or even if it doesnt seem likely based on performance of past versions of the bill, its worth inundating your reps with as many opinions as possible declaring support for NSFW content and against censorship/criminalization of "obscene" material

They think we don't have time for this shit. Yet they're the ones who took away all our work, meaning we have all the time.

Call your reps.

SCREEN ACT: -full age verification. (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks) -Deeply unsafe for personal and data privacy. Security/data breaches are rampant, and uploading so much sensitive data to every single we site is just asking for mass ID theft. -id verification is much, much harder on small websites than larger ones, creating a chilling effect and stifling speech for anyone that isnt a massive corporation -draw comparison to UK's OSA [online safety act] and the backlash it is receiving

KOSA: -creates "duty of care,” meaning that tech companies and platform giants would be required to take steps to prevent potentially harmful encounters, such as posts about eating disorders and instances of online bullying, from impacting minors. -who gets to decide what is or is not "unsafe for minors"? Especially under the current administration -it will block access to important info minors could use to keep themselves safe or advocate for themselves. Ex: sex ed. -the vague nature of the bill will almost certainly be used to target LGBT content under the guise of "protecting children"

CONGRATS SOLDIER, we've hit 2 weeks of solid #SaveSpeech pressure! Youre doing a great job! Reward yourself!

And keep on calling/mailing!
