A pixelated frowning file icon with Xs for eyes appears at the top left. Below, the error code reads “Out of Memory,” suggesting the browser ran out of system resources. The page includes a “Reload” button in blue on the bottom right

behold the "HTML bomb"

It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to

when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper

Keep calling your Congressmen about stopping KOSA and SCREEN dead in their tracks.

Keep calling Visa, Mastercard, Paypal and Stripe.

I dont "NETWORK", I do not "keep a consistent schedule", I don't try to make my art "stand out" on people's feeds. I POST MY ART. And if it flops, I DON'T CARE.

If youre struggling to figure out how best to maximize your impact in calls, i recommend watching at least the first 15 minutes of this video where Ana both uses a time wasting technique and then explains it

But TLDR; you need to Troll at this point. Wasting time is all that matters

Don't let up turn the screws tighter

Valve pushes back after Mastercard denies quashing adult content on game platforms Mastercard said it has not 'evaluated any game or required restrictions of any activity on game creator sites and platforms,' but Valve begs to differ.

Additionally, mention how this decision and this course of action is reflecting negatively on their company and brand identity and how you've heard friends and family that they are considering moving or closing accounts.

This is a great idea--citing headlines from mainstream outlets (Guardian, CBC radio) will put the fear of god in payment processors. Links

FOLLOW CHINA ON THIS ONE I BEGGGG!!! ❤️

I cannot imagine even a single human in the world, that after buying an offensive game, they would connect this fact to the payment processor.

Like.. that's such a bullshit argument.

Visa and Mastercard damaged their brand far more on their own, just by doing this censorship.

Src. in the comment:

incredibly happy to see Valve being this terse and no nosense about this

the calls and emails are WORKING and this is 100% the sign to keep at it

Right. This is serious. 🐝

Regardless of how you feel about their older, edgier content, they're like the only real creator place we got left.

Saw this on tumblr and couldn't agree more.

Valve breaking silence on this is huge, they really dont do this. Companies, at this scale, dont -do this-.

Visa, mastercard, stripe and paypal are feeling the pressure. They are making mistakes under pressure.

Keep it up

Protest movements that stop as soon as they start seeing results fail.

Protest movements that keep going until your whole squad is across the finish line win.

Visa and Mastercard released their public statements on censorship!

Visa and Mastercard are pretending they don't make any judgments on legal purchases, but Collective Shout CLEARLY told us they successfully pressured payment processors.

KEEP CALLING! IT'S WORKING!

its been a week, and while we cannot let up pressure on making phone calls, we need to start applying pressure elsewhere now as well!

So when you guys do you daily calls today you should ask mastercard what illegal adult content they found on these content creation platforms. Tell them to make names. When they give you the runaround say "but what have you found that's illegal".

They won't because there was never an investigation

Along with the info in thread, this article gives a detailed history of PayPal and other processors/banks' history of censoring adult content then blaming each other. Don't let them off the hook when you call.

Deskilling is real.

This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.

Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

Interesting perspective on how call-in campaigns can affect change. The only arguments that work against a corporation are financial ones.

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