Transcriptnickyflowers: It would be cool if websites let you be an adult on them. The advertisers and payment processors need everything to be Family Friendly though their definitions of family and friendly are fucked. But since they're in charge of the Internet now, no one is allowed to be an adult. TikTokers say things like "unalive" and "seggs" because they know death and sex are too adult for online. Online is for idiot babies only now because they're easier to market to.

nickyflowers: Oh I'm sorry you're a trans adult? Super ban. You are super banned for life. You have upset Visa's feelings. Mastercard is throwing up in the corner. How could you do this to Google Ads?

There really oughtta be lawsuit against Visa

For unrelated reasons, yes, but I'm considering the possibility that payment processors know they'll be asked to prove they aren't facilitating illegal transactions, and may have asked Valve to make purchase details available to them for that purpose. If Valve agreed to remove content from the store instead of blowing up user privacy, that would be a win.

But it might just be the PPs being dickheads.

There needs to be a lawsuit against Visa because PayPal stoped authorizing payments to steam in certain regions?

This was posted before we knew it was specifically PayPAl

The article specifically mentions PayPal.
