So instead of addressing any issues, Mastercard is FURTHER supressing criticism.

They're panicking.

Don't. Stop. Calling.

Reminder: Seeing evidence that the pushback is working is not a reason to step back and declare victory, it's a reason to ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ᴄᴀʟʟɪɴɢ!

VISA CAN'T HANG UP ON YOU UNTIL YOU STOP TALKING. YAPPERS, THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE.

Talk in circles! Loop back to the same points! Take a minute to "remember" a word! Your goal isn't to change their minds, it's to keep talking for as long as possible to waste their money and clog call centers.

Hi Itch, author of the original article here. Thanks for ignoring my repeated requests to comment, and then coming out of the woodwork days later to claim that my article - which verified each game's indexing status independently - is 'full of misinformation.'

You're full of it. (thread)

An image of a huge jackboot crushing a comic artist and a bunch of comic pages. The boot is marked by the logos for MasterCard, Visa, Paypal, and Stripe. Below the image there is text which reads: Don't let Payment Processors tell YOU what you can buy! It is not a payment processor's role to decide what kind of content you can or cannot spend money on, so long as it is a legal transaction.

‼️Important Update‼️

There have been increasing reports of people receiving verbal abuse when calling in complaints

So we've put together steps + a script to follow if this happens!

Please be careful out there

↻💬♡ to help spread the info!

This is no accident. The groups behind age-verification laws have been explicit that they regard "gender ideology" and nearly any representation of LGBTQ+ existence as pornography

AV is government censorship. Platforms are either designating LGBTQ+ content NSFW or removing it all together.

I did this last night, and literally this morning a friend who writes fic has had her whole account restricted, and when I try to access writing that I've edited/collaborated on, this is what I get:

I think Visa and Mastercard may be getting a lot of calls about their adult content policies, but I just called in to PayPal and not only was there no wait, the customer service rep I got had never had one of these calls before (they were very nice about it.)

“Visa is just yelling at people and disconnecting calls” is crazy. Holy shit

WHY? On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell. Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell. If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard. HOW? BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are: 1. VISA: (US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3 2. MASTERCARD: (US): +1 (8001-307-7309 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1 Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111 3. STRIPE: (Headquarters): +118881 963-8955 (France): +33 805-11-19-67 Stripe: complaints@stripe.com 4. PAYPAL: (US): +1 (888)-221-1161 (outside US): 1-402-935-2050 Customer Service: +1 (877)-569-1116

MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

good morning. keep the calls up!!!

📌 Hope this soul follows him

everywhere . A true hero 🐥

I think this visa censorship thing might be one of the few times that I believe in the power of “we can beat them” because it really feels like all that has to be done to beat them is be annoying

It’s important to remember that this is not going to be fixed in 24 hours. We might have to do activist work on this for a hot minute. But, if we all stay focused and support each other, we can keep this going for a really long time. Longer than any of these companies have the patience for.

Mastercard, Visa Under Fire As Petition To 'Not Police' Legal Content Blows Up The petition addressed that MasterCard and Visa must stop censoring legal fictional content that complies with the law and platform standards.

IBT coverage. I think stuff like this might get MasterCard & Visa to buckle:

www.ibtimes.co.uk/mastercard-v...

Call call call. Visa is literally begging us to stop calling and send emails. Calls cost them way more money and they can't use key words to filter them out

When you talk to/about these processors censoring 18+ content could you also mention patreon? Creators are walking on eggshells since they came for it a while back and although it's not new news, its a good reference for what will happen to these other sites and we want creative freedom back too

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign? Tell MasterCard, Visa & Activist Groups: Stop Controlling What We Can Watch, Read, or Play

Dieselbrain @dieselbrain.bsky.social Follow the number below doesnt work, as Stripe has changed their number, and is demanding a $2.99 fee to even tell you what it is. however, this number DOES still work and will let you leave a message: (877) 887-7815

Welcome to the weekend! You made it sailor. Which censorious payment processor would you like to call first? Thanks to my moot @dieselbrain.bsky.social for the Stripe number, can confirm it works

“Please send us emails instead” means “we can put key words from your script on our corporate spam filter and ignore you, but calls shut down our entire contact infrastructure”

Keep fucking calling.

“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.
