This is why keep calling payment processors and our state reps, sending emails, writing letters, signing petitions etc.
Even if you think all this effort is for nothing, I rather keep doing anything and everything I can to fight for our right to create freely.

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

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.

Same as the CARDS. Waste time, waste money, eventually try to segue into censorship of adult content as a topic.
