They were actually doing this censorship shit for years beforehandI think they will tone it down in the future much more cautiously after they got hit with so many calls + the US government made a law banning them from censoring what people can buy/sell based on "political" reasons
They're not the root cause of it.They've had FBI breathing them down the neck ever since the whole FOSTA-SESTA thing with Pornhub in 2018. They're allowing purchase of things that some politically active people, also from Europe, really hate, and are taking it to the point where they've ran NGOs and shit pushing Visa/Mastercard to put in these policies.It's also everything happening with Saudi Arabia, who Jared Kushner is in bed with (thus MAGA, thus your government) and they want to ban scantily clad women because they don't wanna promote women not in bhurkas.

I hate every bootlicking mexican scumbag who says, "it's their service, their rules."It's my money, my rules. Fuck you for defending these retarded companies.Lol.

>>737720746The problem is, you give an inch and it takes a mile. You start letting companies like that get power over what you can legally purchase, then soon enough they'll be the ones making the decisions for you for everything. No one should have that much power.>That is crazy talk, they won't go that far-Well what is stopping this from happening?>Oh I see you tried purchasing a locally owned brand tissue box. That isn't allowed with our cards. We only approve the purchase of Klenex brand tissue boxes.It doesn't set a good precedent.>>737721218This is probably the reason, but man that solution is like throwing a bandage next to the cut instead of onto it. Although I do understand you can't press a button to stop all human trafficking and sex exploitation so this was their best attempt at a solution. It seems like it'd be smarter to not stop the purchases but instead silently track it all as to build cases against the perpetrators and those benefiting from it. I am sure (at least I hope) they do that already, so I don't understand how this all helps. Although that gives the perpetrators money so maybe that isn't smart either. Maybe I am simply dumb and don't understand the complexities involved.
wow, shocker, /v/ gets mad about one thing one week and the next moves onto something else to froth at the mouth over, repeat ad nauseum. very unhealthy, sad!
>>737723801solving the problem isn't as important as receiving recognition and praise for saying you're going to solve the problem, which you can milk for public relations and money indefinitely
>>737720746You mean your ragebait turned out to be a nothingburger.
I haven't forgotten shit. It's just that outside of lobbying for antitrust enforcement and consumer rights in the future, I don't think there is a serious method to get the duopoly to do shit. Unimpressed with the existing social media pressure movement for entirely selfish reasons.I drafted an alternative scheme for payment processing based mostly on unifying regional wallets, Monero, bank transfer and Bill Pay enrollments into one account you can use for NSFW products on a hypothetical otaku shop(digital and physical products.)But you need LLCs/offices per region you want to directly support, shops/artists/conventions willing to brunt the load of selling gift cards for you to plug in the gaps, and a consumer base dedicated enough to make things intentionally more difficult for themselves. I think you could provide discounts and try to build extreme brand loyalty, but other than this iunno.

>>737720746Did itch go back to normal? What about all the random games banned on steam? I still dont understand that one. I see those porn games with the emojis in the title nearly every day in new and trending.
>>737725483>I see those porn games with the emojis in the title nearly every day in new and trending.treadmill work Valve doesn't want to do
>>737725483They relisted some free games, kept everything else deindexed and that's where things left off.That's how it always goes. Bankers instigate a crisis or twist corporate arms into causing one, everyone is thrown off for a bit, and things slowly settle into an unsustainable status quo.I don't mean to sound like that, but after seeing Vtubers flock to an "ASMR-friendly" video site that only supports Stripe, I'm sort of done.>>737725480what you are looking for is a visa prepaid card loaded into paypalor just use mailcash, cryptocurrency
>>737726901thank you
>>737721779This. I'm forced, by law, to put my money into a bank. I cannot get paid without my paycheck going directly into a bank account. Those banks shouldn't be allowed to tell me what I can and cannot buy.
>>737726901I tried to use my credit card via Paypal, got declined (they still took $1 from me).I tried to use a Visa pre-paid card via Paypal, got declined for "security purposes".I tried buying a Japanese Visa gift card, got declined.Finally got one by flying to Japan, and buying one in a store via cash. Got declined for not having a Japanese phone number to activate it.
>>737727419>Shut it down
>>737727419FunkySometimes using a different device/network helps, but at that point it's a bit of a circus
>>737727547>tfw they shut down the only people who manage to pay for their shit and give it away to those who cannotALL I FUCKING WANTED TO DO WAS PAY FOR PORN LET ME PAY DAMMIT
>>737723801I still don't get why the world gave up their local cold, hard cash to give 2 American companies supreme authority over what they can purchase in their own country.
>>737728170Aren't institutionally sanctioned oligarchies fun?
>>737728170>>737728278In general, the government sucks ASS at resisting the influence of large companies, and that's pretending they don't want to and are trying to resist corruption
