you know what would be really funny?

if people started calling MasterCard saying "I mentioned MasterCard in a Riot/Valorant/League of Legends stream and I got timed out/warned/banned. I don't understand why that would happen. Can you explain it to me?"

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"

each of these is a person. is that good? should i be doing that? well whatever [turns you into a gem and refines you]

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

VISA and MASTERCARD are now refusing all calls related to their policy changes. So call up as a concerned shareholder, prepared to short-sell their shares to reduce financial harm and loss to their portfolios.

They're trying to ignore us. Don't let them.

Evangelical Censorship is death to progress

i think there was a little misstep in characterizing payment processors as pressured by collective shout early in the movement rather than being the chief culprits. this is why continued pressure is important! they need to forced to stop because they really, really don't want to.

[At Doom's Gate riff starts playing]

Unlike paypros, most reps actually do see emails if they're about one thing. Title your email something like STOP KOSA AND SCREEN and that helps their helpers know instantly what you're about. Be as direct as possible.

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"

#SaveSpeech

Remember, if youre american, contact your reps and urge them not to support KOSA and the SCREEN act!

Unlike Pay-pros, you dont need to waste time. All they NEED is to know is that you dont support it. Heres some talking points if desired tho:

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.

Ultimate Joyful Theory

wanted to express this visually

A Stripe rep hung up on me when they realized they told me they're disallowing "LGBTQ content" in transactions, so either they're slipping up more or just being more honest about their real intentions.

Keep the pressure up, keep calling, maybe start recording what they're telling you.

Heartwarming: payment processors help thousands in the LGBTQ+ community get over their phone anxiety

Feel fortunate if you don't have to be here.
Talk about it and don't stop.
Look away and you assist the empire.
Don't think they won't do it to you.

In an email to GamingOnLinux, one of their team said they expect the de-listing situation to expand further and in their discussions titles like "Grand Theft Auto, Duke Nukem, and Saints Row were described as potentially at risk"

Gaming storefront ZOOM was also targeted by payment processors for censorship due to its adult titles.

Do not stop. If you stop at the acknowledgement and celebrate now, it will die where it stands. Keep calling, keep writing.

"Hey I read in [news outlet] that your company made Steam stop carrying adult-rated games. Are you taking them out of Playstation and Xbox too? What about R rated movies? Can we just. Not buy them any more? What's going on? Are Explicit albums banned too? Are you policing Spotify? WHY?!"

"ravioli are savory gushers" "is a hot dog a sandwich or a taco" "a poptart is a sweet ravioli" do you think your games played in the dichotomous key of god's creation bring you closer to him? In your heart, is there a voice claiming that organization is how you apprehend creation? Cleanse your soul

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 ☎️

In my opinion, keep calling and ask for details. Really get at PayPal and Stripe especially. Play the dumb consumer, business peeps can bring up your perspective, and ask them why Australian extremists can influence American free speech. Be clear, be polite, and keep. fucking. calling.

so what i'm hearing is call more
