Does anywhere list numbers to call to do the same thing but about unnecessary censorship?

I hope interac uses this opening, I already primarily use them but they don't do credit.

Crypto was supposed to do this but it's too fractured and volatile now.

Did you close it tho?

Stripe fuckin' sucks for that. I've run into them pulling shit over hot sauce and other completely innocuous stuff over the years.

Republicans are already classifying anything they don’t like as obscene pornography and finding ways to ban it. There’s been a surge in book bans in American schools, for example. From July to December 2023, PEN America found that more than 4,300 books were removed from schools across 23 states. Many of the targeted titles feature LGBTQ+ characters. Works that address rape and sexual assault are also increasingly being targeted. So don’t be fooled by Project 2025’s preoccupation with porn. The far right aren’t interested in the exploitation of women, they’re interested in controlling exactly what it means to be a woman. This isn’t a crusade against porn, it’s a crusade against progress.

Porn bans are a wedge used by conservatives to widen the criteria once the ban is in place.

The issue is payment processors unilaterally revoking access to content based on what they (or a conservative hate group with a telephone campaign) personally find morally impermissable.

Steam choosing what to host on their platform is fine. A random payment processor forcing their hand due to mild pressure from a fringe Christian group in Australia is not. Because those loonies will classify anything outside of a married couple having missionary sex as obscene and harmful.

First question: Why is it okay for payment processors to conduct censorship of any kind? Why is it their place to decide what is and is not buyable?

Second question: What's the next thing some right-wing death cult is going to pressure them into censoring? Anything addressing minority rights? Any adult content at all? What about sex toys, birth control drugs, abortion drugs, hormone treatments? What else are they going to cull from society by saying "Get rid of this or we're not going to allow you to do any business in the world?"

First, they will remove rape and incest, then they will remove all LGBT games, then they will remove all nsfw, and then they will remove all violent games and so on until only the games deemed acceptable by the US evangelicals are left.

It opens the door to removing any number of games for any other number of reasons.

Remember the war on violent video games? Maybe not, but there are tons of people who think that violent video games cause people to be violent which has been proven to not be the case, yet people still parrot it like it's true. It could easily escalate to that.

Also, they already went after ALL NSFW games on itch.io with all of those games being removed, so it's already getting worse right before our very eyes.

If you don't see how it can escalate from here then I don't really know what to say.
