Debanked? Don’t stop at opening a new account. FSC’s free Debanking Checklist + Complaint Tool can help you file an official complaint so that regulators understand how often lawful adult workers and businesses are losing access to financial services. www.freespeechcoalition.com/blog/did-you...

I cannot recommend AAA folks going indie. It's brutal out here, funding is rough, and the processes that work in AAA do not translate to indie. If anyone that was laid off insists on going indie and wants to chat about the risks & complications, I'm always available for a chat or call.

if any Xbox employee from any studio or part of the company want to chat with a reporter about all this, anonymously or otherwise, my email and Signal are in my bio, and I would like to listen. I cannot fathom what everyone must be feeling right now.

HOW TO CONTACT
WHAT TO DO
Card
MASTERCARD
+
VISA
Visa and Mastercard have long histories with pressuring platforms that host and sell adult content. Most recently, they have pressured Steam and Itch.io, leading to dozens if not hundreds of games being delisted, and their TOS now updated with draconian content standards.
MASTERCARD
(US) +1 (800)-307-7309
phone tree nav: 1-1-2-2-2-1

VISA

phone tree nav: 1-1-5. mash account #.
Your goal is mostly to waste their time and therefore their money.
Pose as a confused customer "just asking for clarification" about things relating to the Itch/Steam censorship controversy.
Paypro
PAYPAL
+
STRIPE
Paypal and Stripe have their own histories with action against adult content. Like the credit card companies, they have both pressured Steam and Itch.io, with Itch calling out Stripe as a priority target, and Steam no longer being able to process certain currencies using Paypal.
PAYPAL

Both Paypal and Stripe have indicated that their banking partners have also been a source of ant- Adult Content pressure.

Anthropomorphic dip-pen and inkwell stand infront of a table stacked with books. Pen holds a sign with '18+' drawn on the center, with a heart around it. Inkwell is holding a paper colored rainbow with 'LGBTQA' upon it. Inkwell is holding a hand up in a 'stop' motion. Behind the table is the vague sense of a crowd also holding signs.

A PayPal call center supervisor said they actually completely agree with me. They said that if enough people call PayPal they would be forced to take notice. I explained the Patreon/Itch/Steam situation and they said they're a creative themselves & that they hope the situation improves. CALL THEM

As someone who used to work in a call center, if you get disconnected you call back and say you want to escalate to a supervisor immediately because of it. You don't have to say boo more than that; most bottom-rung phone drones are going to be glad to bump you on hold to be someone else's problem.

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard. These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces?
Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content – under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?

✨SHILL SHARE✨ After the recent attacks on NSFW work by payment processors, it's more important than ever to support artists! If you have a favorite artist, throw them a few dollars - seriously! Don't take their work for granted. If you're a NSFW artist, plug your Patreon/ko-fi/whatever below 🔽

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done. We got more than 1000 people.
