The group responsible is “Collective Shout”, the same org has targeted Steam before.
There are calls on social media now to contact Mastercard, Visa and co. and file complaints.
They should do Twitter next. Twitter has nsfw AI role play now and it should be banned by payment processors.
Edit: I say this because I want to bring up the hypocrisy of the advocacy. Why they get to choose what companies can do porn which cannot?
Payment processors should not get to police what kind of legal transactions people use their services for. No matter how much you dislike the particular product. And especially since they have an effective monopoly. If we let them go through with this, it would open the gateway for them to enact the kind of control over our consumption that should be exclusive to elected officials.
As we can see, they already have that kind of control, and what’s worse is that it’s not limited to just one country.
Maybe the OP has a point, and it’ll take them fucking with something else than “just” hobbies to get regulated.
This has been happening forever in the adult video space. Certain kinks are verboten and disallowed by payment processors, which leads to a kind of underground gray market where you have to use certain euphemisms to avoid getting flagged.
While i agree the notion its not that black and white.
Payment processors are companies. Where you would draw the line when company can and cant decite how they want to manage their product? In the end its their decition.
We already do it for utilities. A financial company should not be deciding what its users are allowed to spend their own money on except within the confines of law.
Assuming we’re being facetious here, 100% agree.
Hell, if extwitter gets banned, it’d be hilarious because then there would probably be laws changed to ensure only the government can select what gets banned. Though, not so hilarious in the current state of the world.
They list this as one of their main goals, right on their website.
Tbf it should be banned for being ridiculous but not from a morality standpoint from the payment processors, just bc it’s cringe and has nothing to do with that social media format. That being said, Twitter is getting worse and worse
