Great idea. Mastercard DID NOT WANT to be brought up negatively in the context of their sponsorship of Riot's esports

Weaponize that against them

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"

Without knowing the source that is very vague, could be any number of excuses still then. Tired of this labyrinth of 'who dun it'.

A reminder not to let the National Center On Sexual Exploitation's official-sounding name fool you: they're the rebranded busybody group "Morality In Media", whom you might remember from such hits as "Trying to have Life Of Brian pulled from theatres" and "trying to connect queerness to mass murder"

ITS WORTH NOTING THAT NCOSE IS NOT SOME OFFICIAL GOVT ORG OR WHATNOT, THEY ARE A REBRANDED CHRISTIAN FASCIST GROUP

Also, when you talking against the age-verification laws you should point you the Tea app's data breach how it happened and how it will effect the women who had their identity leaked and how they are setting things up for that to happen on a massive scale.

I called my rep (Blue district).

Mentioned the KOSA and the SCREEN act, how it's censorious and even a National Security threat, citing Social Security leaks

He said that they've gotten hundreds of calls about KOSA (nice) but they didn't hear about the SCREEN act since it's "not bi-partisan." 🤔

The script to oppose KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) AKA The Big Bullshit Censorship Bill is now up on @5calls.org

We’ve already seen the results of this over the last few days in the U.K. with their Online Safety Act (OSA). Let’s make sure it dies off again. Call your reps ☎️

Distressed mastercard persona: Clarifying recent headlines on gaming content Mastercard has not evaluated any game or required restrictions of any activity on game creator sites and platforms, contrary to media reports and allegations. Our payment network follows standards based on the rule of law. Put simply, we allow all lawful purchases on our network. At the same time, we require merchants to have appropriate controls to ensure Mastercard cards cannot be used for unlawful purchases, including illegal adult content. Sue: Hello, I had a few concerns about your policies.

You hear that guys? All lawful purchases are allowed! We're just not allowing the ILLEGAL stuff like...dark romance V-Novels?

This ain't adding up. These companies are playing damage control now.

Don't Stop Calling! More official statements only brings up more questions!

For those who don't use Twitter anymore, the community pretty much said they are lieing do to Steam and Itchio wording and history of JP shenanigans. This only fuels my need to call more.

if you are concerned with the situation with VISA/Mastercard/etc forcing Steam and Itch to censor 18+ games, please take a look at this and consider taking a few minutes out of your day to call.

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. Fight back against the unjust policies hurting artists and creators online! https://yellat.money/ https://stop-paypros.neocities.org/

Let's Keep Calling!

Newgrounds' approach to verifying age is interesting and transparent.

There is still fairly good stuff for the tech, problem is AI became that catch all term for anything 'advance' atm. Generative sucks and still falls apart way to easily and that what studios want but then get egg on face when they realize how terrible uncanny it looks. Yet investors LOOOVE buzzwords

Todays dub where this shines really how everyone is feeling about recent events. Art made by @mrpecu.bsky.social and @rinnytanart.bsky.social with her lovely voice.

Call them, gum the lines. (B Sky version!)

Trying to keep AI relevant at the THIN chance it becomes profitable enough to justify its existence.

If only the YT ID news didn't sour the vibe.. guess we take what we can get.

Always loved her. <3

A PayPal call center supervisor said they actually completely agree with me. They said that if enough people call PayPal they would be forced to take notice. I explained the Patreon/Itch/Steam situation and they said they're a creative themselves & that they hope the situation improves.

CALL THEM

You didn't think we'd forget about you two, did you?
All payment processors get love! :)

While Mastercard and Visa are drowning, these two have been feeling a bit neglected. u_u

As someone who used to work call centers for a decade , the weary sigh one is pretty normal but those other three? Holy shit.

That's, like... surreal. Call centers are massive hardasses about politeness.

I'd have been fired on the spot mid-call if I suggested a customer was doing anything illegal.

Yeah id assume the sigh is just kinda standard, but I can tell it was a deflate of likely hearing the 'current event' they likely heard for the 50-100th time in the last couple days.

MasterCard and Visa stock are down today

Its still kinda here from what I can tell, yet not as broken as Twitter as is. Also easy to go around.

Hell yeah

so when i was calling earlier, the mastercard supervisor mentioned something like, 8000 calls that they've gotten over the weekend. Just wanna say keep it up, keep up the good work, i'll continue to do my part. Let's make 2025 the year of not rolling over anymore

Ah so we DO have more than 1000. 🤔 #SaveSpeech

An image of an anthro dog boy in a crop top and panties. The crop top reads "KEEP CALLING" and the panties read "WE CAN WIN." Text around him reads: Barking news: Hot furries go to yellat.money & yap for queer creators and sex workers! Be polite, be chill, be persistent! Be the annoying queer you've always longed 2 be! He looks a little devious and is yap yap yapping into his phone. It is a silly doodle about an important thing.

WE CAN WIN
