A good thread with very useful links.

In that moment we were all Trant

Commissioners and artists, be aware of this if you use the PayPal

the expressions you draw them with make me craazyy arrhhgh

I had my little theory that the war on porn games/art/writing was, in part, to try to make AI scraping easier, but now I can add "it was astroturfing to take out the ethical, artisanal, actually artistic competition."

ATTENTION BRITAIN! 🇬🇧

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!

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers.

In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?

Hey this is really fucking dire! Keep calling Stripe. This aligns with nothing they've previously told us

ALL THE PROCESSORS YOU CAN CALL:

If you're a Patreon creator who hasn't received the AI survey, request it through their support ticket:

support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/req...

If you did receive it already, please do it.
Make it clear you don't want AI on the platform in any way.

Daydreaming about an adult-friendly web that forces parents to actually Parent their kids so that in an effort to shield them from said content they instead avoid misinformation, nonstop political propaganda and brain-rotting advertisement since they cant let them be raised by computers anymore.

If you use Firefox:

Go into Settings, in the search bar type "Sidebar" and select "Show Sidebar." At the bottom of the sidebar, click "Customize Sidebar" (the little gear icon) and un-check the "AI Chatbot" box.

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

I was in Ana's stream and it seems like now we're waiting to see what specific banks we need to target

In the meantime keep calling paypros! All the pressure and noise we've been making has worked to squeeze out all this info so keep going!
Phone numbers as always:
stop-paypros.neocities.org

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy.

This seems kinda significant.

We're not in theoretical "they could come after sfw queer content LATER" territory anymore. It is being used to come after sfw queer content NOW.

Spread this around, send the article to any and every news outlet/content creator you can think of. The alarms need to be sounded

And KEEP CALLING

💕❤️💕❤️!!!

this is from back in May, but while youre calling your representatives about the SCREEN act and KOSA, its worth including a mention about the 'Interstate Obscenity Definition Act' (IODA).

remember, you dont need to go into great detail, you just need to be another tally of citizens saying "no"

drawing of a man laying on bed with an old school phone in hand. he has a speech bubble that says "I'm so confused~ is what i'm buying illegal?" the text on the page says "keep calling and writing until payment processor censorship is reversed. one call a day makes a difference! mastercard and visa's statements aren't good enough. let's keep up the pressure together!"

he hasn't stopped calling~ have you? 🫵

how to call: stop-paypros.neocities.org

Oh he looks like SUCH a shithead X) /pos

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI

Cartoon monster lady, Sue, in a "Don't Stop Calling T-shirt, pointing at a personification of "puritan activist groups" looming over a personification of "payment processor" Sue's Dialogue: YOOHOO! These motherfuckers think they can pick and choose what you do with your own money. You wouldn't let them do that, would you?

Hey if you hate censorship and want to do more than just doompost online, you can actually do something: Being annoying!

Hoards of people have been blowing up the phones of payment processing companies to pressure them not to bend to the whims of puritan groups.

Truly carrying this ship on your back like an injured marine

Yeah I sometimes wonder if I played the same game as people LOL. Juicy bones to chew on either way.

Oh yeah haha I was more thinking about the avg fandom perception- a lot of fic casts Jean in a pitch-black light- which I've enjoyed!- but confirmation of his idealism is lowkey vindicating lol idk how else to say it but the guy always struck me as a paladin type |D Agree re: cynicism of the writers
