Visa and Mastercard have seemingly pressured Valve into changing its content policy; porn now under unspecified restrictions. Anonymous 07/27/2025 (Sun) 20:45:01 Id: a8ceca No. 1609395
A new rule was added to Steam's publishing documentation. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingstarted/onboarding >15. Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers. In particular, certain kinds of adult only content. There is actually a bill in Congress, with significant momentum (43 out of 100 senators co-sponsored. 50 needed to pass, 60 needed to get the vote to happen.), that would stop this shit. It has that momentum mostly because it's a general anti-debanking bill and after seeing Trump's bank drop him despite how fiduciaryily stupid it was Congress realizes they're going to be hit with it eventually. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/401 https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/987 If you're an American you can call your legislative official and demand either (as applicable) >they add their name to the co-sponsor >it come to a vote and that it be amended to strengthen the prohibitions on "payment card networks" as they're weaker than the other sections (only banning "political or reputational risk considerations", which could easily be construed either way on porn or guns, a weakness at odds with the introduction.). Also tell them to oppose the following legislation >S.1748 - Kids Online Safety Act https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/1748/text Basically the American version of the UK Online Safety Act and would force you to show ID to access adult content. >S.1671 - Interstate Obscenity Definition Act https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/1671 Removes First Amendment protection from porn by labeling it as "obscene" across the whole country. To find your legislators https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative For calling, you want to have your name (ideally just give the NATO Phonetic alphabet spelling after it without prompting*.), zip code, return phone number, and the bill number (S401 for Senate or HR987 for House). I've been given conflicting claims on if the local office or DC office should be called, but as far as I can tell for just "support this bill" the best is whichever one has a human pick up the phone (an actual meeting is local office). *Realizing I can just say the phonetic spelling unprompted after being asked for my name on any phone call (not just political calls) and not have to wait to be asked to spell it then awkwardly go back and forth for them to get my name correct makes it something I genuinely wish I had learned to do decades earlier. ... Why the hell should payment processors be setting moral standards? Governments need to get these two under fucking control, money middle men should not have this kind of power. This is not the water cooler thread. Take your religious/political/off-topic stances to >>>/christian/ >>>/pol/ >>>/b/

>>1620717 There is some, but you need to tell your representative to strengthen it.
>>1620824 This is why I say, reality is a silver medal for entertaining as... Any joke can be made into reality given the right amount of times.

>>1620843 I am an American... Is it the way I speak as I have many friends in Europe. They are seriously fucked over this... >Vara Svedska ( Be Swedish ) >Log onto Twitter >Forced to deal with UK servers >Dealing with log ID shit due to UK .... >Your friend can't send you hentai directly from the twitter account. .... I am watching how some websites are reacting to this situation, Newgrounds is the most fucking disgusting reaction from "small business" to greed and censoring, even pay walling the news.... I am a man that loves to paint and draw hentai.
>>1620872 >>Vara Svedska ( Be Swedish ) Who taught you Swedish? If you wanted to say "be Swedish" you would say "va Svensk". "Svedska" is the bosnian word for Sweden.
>>1620843 >>1620884 I get the conjugations mixed up as I haven't used it in a while. Thanks for correcting that mistake. I didn't know about Svensk, as I am used to seeing the phrase på Svedska. I guess Blitz's dictionary uses the Bosnian word. LMFAO. I am having to teach myself, but I rotate between drawing hentai, and then reading at work my books, write down notes. This is going into my notebook. As I an stuck with routledge's stuff... I lean towards very much anti-censorship of anykind and pro-piracy.
>>1620884 Berlitz* dictionary... I am right now busy drawing hentai of Mimi Sentry. :3 I say, as an American, pay attention to Europe, teach yourself stuff to make trading and commerce better for yourself. Everyday, I try to read a little bit of what I can. My bookshelf is full of Light Novels, Grammars, Dictionaries... I would just like more media so I can apply it... Still learning.... Some days I am on my Babbel some days in my books...
>>1620884 My friends online are not in the USA. So I am used to seeing stuff what happens in other places and what not.
God I hope that EU and UK will get fucked over on those bills. I fucking live in Poland, if they won't and my country is forced to adopt it (God please no) I'm fucking learning Spanish and moving to Argentina, or just to US. We'll see.
>>1609395 >>1620957 Get ready to deal with some of the most annoying dialectal variation. Are you sure that you want to deal with Spanish? xD It is fun to read, but confusing.
>>1620966 At worst if it's too hard US is still a viable option... and I do have family in the US so...
>>1620981 Lord bless anyone who speaks a Slavic language as jesus christ.... Never ever have I felt confusion as that. The amount of " V" this "V" to that. is annoying. There is a reason most of Europe said fuck that, and have articles. Too many cases. If I were you man. Get yourself a Gramercy Dictionary with 7 languages... It sadly does use the outdated German orthography, but does have Russian, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. Hebrew does exist in it, but the creator of the book should have put Dutch in it instead... As it would be the best Euro-Versial book and honestly that book is a good study source as it gives you phrases to work to show conjugation... That book is made for piracy. I say, install all of your porn games, your hentai videos, and more onto a linux machine. Noodlemagazine is my go to piracy source.... Mastercard and Visa's bullshit is why I grow more and more concerned.
>>1620957 May I suggest simply destroying the EU instead? >>1620988 >>1620746 May I suggest you to stop posting like this?
>>1621039 Sorry about that. I went to excessive on the enter key.
>>1620957 The average polish man who arrives to South America gets insta-profiled as a cyber-criminal and has their stuff seized until proven innocent, so if you ever do that don't travel with tech.
I hope this makes the underground market for porn games boom. I don't even play them, I just hate censorship.
>>1620675 I decided to listen to what he actually had to say and call bullshit. I was looking for hentai as a kid when I first discovered it in the late 90s. Me and my cousin were digging through our relatives' stash of porn magazine and vhs tapes of porn as well. https://xcancel.com/visegrad24/status/1950512925308764298

I believe in kids done right.
>>1621215 Porn is just the excuse. They want to shut down the Japanese industries because the whole world supports Japan over jews.
>>1621430 Porn isn't an excuse. It's a foothold. The same way attacking loli first so normalfags did nothing was a foothold for this. Next they'll regulate all porn. Then all entertainment. (((They))) want to control everything.
Maybe I will finally interview with RED if Spotify decides to destroy themselves
>>1620966 >It is fun to read, but confusing. No, it really isn't. I recommend you practice more.
>>1609395 Partial W: itch.io has claimed they will whitelist adult games that set themselves as free download. They're additionally looking into finding alternative payment processors.
>>1621856 >inb4 every nsfw game is now free to play download, but to play you need to put in a code you only get from Patreon
>>1621856 >looking into finding alternative payment processors Someone's going to commit suicide by 10 bullets to the back of the head.
>>1621862 Reminds me of the ways Japanese companies started getting around it.
>>1621856 Suppose it's a slight improvement over potentially every NSFW game scattering to the winds and you having to scour around obscure self-made amateur websites and niche fetish game forums that get 2 visitors per month for the latest updates (if the dev/anyone else remembers to upload them) and them being locked behind a goddamn dogecoin payment. Though to be fair I would unironically be down for devs (and other creatives) making their own websites for posting their work so long as they make people aware of it and don't just up and forget it exists
>>1620957 The Polish government has been selling you out for a while now, so i would go have a talk with them instead of hoping the EU gets fucked by some Habsburg creation. >>1620872 I live in the Netherlands and i is not that fucked yet and we don't have to deal with the UK in any way. I am a hentai user and nothing has changed for me, can do everything i used to. But why you send hentai from twitter instead from a n-hentai account?, you must be slightly retarded. And instead of useless languages learn how to use TOR or I2P which will come handy soon to fight censorship,sometimes i curse the Japanese for their ancient IT structure but it seems it is a blessing after al. The EU is fine for the most part, we have 2 problems which are a giant amount of unelected bureaucrats and an ever increasing amount of rapefugees, those 2 can easily be fixed with a civil war which where we are heading, we are waiting for 1 or 2 happenings and another rape by a muslim rat to kick things of, people in Europe are not angry enough yet. What we have over the USA and UK or China for that matter is that every nation has a very different culture and will never be a homogeneous population(hence the immigrants) even East Germany is vastly different from the West thanks to Russian occupation after WW2. So i am not worried to much, things will work out one way or another if anything we will be smarter and acquire some new ways to share porn.
>>1621438 Even in China and Iran the porn flows free thanks to the dark net, normies will always attack porn and use it to censor the net while thinking of the children(take that how you will) because who the fuck want to be defending perverts.
>>1622019 >normies Stop using cuckchan mindset. Because it wouldn't received a huge backlash by now and had many jewtubers talking about it.

So i am not worried to much, things will work out one way or another if anything we will be smarter and acquire some new ways to share porn. The reason I share through X/Twitter, it is due to the artists themselves are on Twitter, but not Pixiv or Nhentai. Some artists are on 1 platform, some are 2, but... The biggest retards right now will be Newgrounds. As I have never seen such a tone deaf art community or website to dying to partial greed, partial law changes. It would rather be a coward. I am used to using baraag, twitter, pixiv, maybe deviant art for SFW, but otherwise.... I just forget NG exists as it backtracks so often. I will eventually learn to use TOR or l2P. I say Europe in a boiling frog situation, all of U.S. are. The UK are a disgrace to me as an America. Most common wealth nations lack a pair of balls, at least you got the testicles to insult me... Japan is what I call a country that is technologically ahead, but paradoxically behind. They are just slower by 5~10 years. I wished that mentality was used like handwriting as my country is slowly into a country of illiterate idiots... Monday, my boss and I had to tell a customer to not go to a damn closed restroom while there is two in the building that were open. It had inconvenience in the way.

These standards also demand confirmation of age and consent from anyone in content published on these sites. Given how they've already caught the ire of the Japanese government for essentially trying to violate its legal protections on free expression, I think this is the beginning of them hammering the nails to their own coffin, because now there's a paper trail to prove that they're lying their asses off. >>1622459 It's safe to assume they're lying given that in my second link Mastercard directly states they were dictating what to do to the financial institutions, not the other way around.

The "problem" (rather what was done deliberately) is that there's twenty thousand issues to address separately.

Anything else is a blip in the radar, for example the chat surveillance bit got completely ignored because it's months away.

>>1624469 >90s Was both sides in the 90s too as has been pointed out numerous times.
Why do people seemingly feel the need to go out and bat for the republicans? As someone who DOES live in a red state, they are not your friends, and as of RIGHT NOW are in fact a big problem in regards to this issue. Obviously it goes without saying that the dems are bad and support this shit and have supported shit like this forever and when they were dominant were pushing all the same shit. The solution isn't to deflect criticism of the republicans because the dems are bad, the solution certainly also isn't to support the dems. Take your own side, when people in the establishment right OPENLY TELL YOU they want to censor shit, believe them just like you do when the left says it. They both hate you. None of this should need to be said.
And as an addendum >>1624369 is clearly very speculative and the start of this whole thing goes back way further than this guy or "project 2025" but I wouldn't doubt that these people are playing some role in it right now, whether big or small is also speculative for now.
>>1624510 Obviously the anti-bank bill is a good thing and trying to kill support for it is retarded. That doesn't mean that it's not red states passing all this shit (first?) or that the other bad bills aren't Republican authored ones. Red states are hardly bastions of freedom either as this how fiasco has no doubt shown. And to reiterate, this isn't me saying the dems are good or to not support the good things that the republicans incidentally do.
>>1624523 >how fiasco Whole fiasco* I should not be posting this late.
>>1624523 >other bad bills aren't Republican authored ones See this is what people on the left are pushing, not you as you've just bought it, because they are partisan fucks incapable of holding their own side to account. The recent bills like KOSA are being pushed by both sides, with Blackburn, Blumenthal, Thune, and Schumer introducing it, two democrats and two republicans. This is what pisses me off about the leftists who are protesting this, people who lean right are capable of calling out their own side when they start pushing censorship shit, while all the redditor faggots are pretending that this is solely a right-wing push and while ignoring everything else they've done. Again, this doesn't really apply to you as much but it is why it upsets a lot of people when leftists are talking about this because they omit a shitton of context and every bit of complicity that both politicans and groups on the left have.
>>1624541 I just hate patisanship in general and I don't like seeing even glimpses of it for the republicans in places like these, obviously the same applies to the dems but nobody whos a lefty partisan is going to post somewhere like here in good faith or even at all. But yea you are right that it is a bipartisan thing obviously, I merely percieved people as sort of downplaying the republicans role in all this and perhaps that was a misreading on my part.
Also because I admittedly do have a chip on my shoulder about this whole thing because I live in a red state.
>>1624469 > In a way, Republicans going about this in such an overbearing and indiscriminate manner benefits us, much like it did in the 90s. If it does end up hurting them then it's an entirely self inflicted wound and an unforced error. I had hoped they'd learned their lesson finally. It looks like they haven't and that combined with any tariff blowback will be disastrous for them at mid term. But that's OK. Liberty and anonymity is more important than the result of the next election. And it's how the system is suppose to work actually. Just make sure that they understand the reasons for any losses they incur. Electoral losses communicate that they fucked up, Feedback tell them why and how they fucked up.
>>1624494 Because the alternative openly hates us, calls for the self destruction of the host nation and will never listen to what white men want. Sure those fags in red aren't pure but we can at least talk to them and threaten to vote blue. Overall this is not a left vs right issue, so Russ, who I wouldn't shed a tear if he died, must be defended An important question; why wouldn't Mastercard and Visa kick the can up to the fag in office, if this faggot was the whole reason? Sure at the start they could have wanted good goy points but in their recent statement? why not pass the buck to the "true master" instead of throwing it to local processors?

Like no fucking wonder only seniors show up to your paid protests now. Your strategies are Mesozoic tier in how outdated they are. It's not complicated, Democrats tried to raid the US Treasury and kill and rape everybody for the past four years while a senile pedo shat himself in the Oval Office, and billions of eyes witnessed it. You cannot escape this stigma now.
>>1624572 I agree that it's not a left vs right issue, and I doubt that russ actually has that much of a role, if any, in the matter. But why must he be "defended"? To completely discount the possibility that he, or any of them, may be involved in some way in its entirety seems equally as silly to me as claiming with basically no evidence that he is the end all be all. I agree in principle however that people shouldnt take their eyes off the main goal which is visa and mastercard, but in times like these it's also good to stay vigilant.
>>1624585 I was literally saying that invoking party politics is retarded and that it is all of them.
>>1624585 I don't know what you're trying to do or who you think you're talking to but fuck off.
>>1624572 >so Russ, who I wouldn't shed a tear if he died, must be defended NO he doesn't. If he's causing a problem then he's gotta be called out for it too. He doesn't get a pass because he wears the "right" political mascot pin and flies the "right" political color. Frankly it all just comes down to tackling all the problems in the correct order of operations. It's important not to lash out emotionally. Triage is key.
Oh for fuck sake niggerpill is arguing with himself again.
>>1624593 >But why must he be "defended"? Because every single one is innocent until proven guilty and to ignore any claims might as well be an admission of guilt these days. Another reason is there is no reason to bring him up NOW as we are in the middle of fighting. There is no reason to bring up and attempt to steer all threads towards the old and already fear mongered "Project 2025", there is no reason to link Russ & other people to the banking bill, unless the poster in question is wanting to kill the law with petty divide and conquer.When we get close to WINNING then maybe we can follow up on this, but right now we aren't anywhere close I just thought of something, why would the fags in red, who support the Fucker, who is pressuring payment niggers, also push the bill preventing the payment niggers from doing what they are told to do by the Fucker they are currently backing??? >>1624627 If it was real, the evidence wouldn't be so shallow.

>>1616418 Prohibition was an example of a good thing executed in a bad way. Ask contemporaries of the era, even Henry Ford, and you'd notice that alcoholism was breaking up a lot of families and relationships. Bread and circuses for the masses. Now, the ban on alcohol certainly was profited off of by organized crime, but that's exactly the same thing that's happening with drugs today, and in the past few years, we've finally been allowed to see what happens when drugs get decriminalized, at least on a state/local level - mass addiction, many deaths, homeless epidemic, innocents caught in the crossfire (I say innocent as a general term, because imo if you willingly take drugs, you're at fault for whatever happens after, even overdose on fent that your innocuous weed joint was laced with). Basically, drugs being legalized is proving to be a very bad thing. That's only taking into account what we can directly prove is a result of drugs. There might be some social factors at play here which are indirectly caused by drugs, such as the attitude of Western citizens towards political causes or the consumption of rap music or the dumbing down of our language. There are even studies out there which suggest drug use is a cause for illnesses like cancer. We might never know the full extent, but the hidden horrors may be just as bad if not worse than the visible savagery. My point is that, crime follows anything that gets outlawed, this does NOT mean that the thing being outlawed should be decriminalized to prevent other forms of crime. Never decide between two evils - erase them both if at all possible. Alcohol is also destructive to modern society. Maybe not at the same degree as drugs since one can bounce back from alcohol addiction with less consequences than the addiction to certain drugs, but the damage is felt. It probably was a bad idea to implement back then, since the retaliation and consequences were such that the American law enforcement could not keep a cap on it. Would it be a better idea now? Possibly, but not before the bigger ills in society are dealt with, in my opinion. tl;dr Alcohol prohibition was a good idea but implemented too soon, the hierarchy of needs in a well-functioning perfect society were not being followed in proper order. First you must excise several other bad elements of society before you should consider cutting out alcohol for the people Fun fact: The jews profited from prohibition exceedingly well. Most jews didn't care whether prohibition was put in place or not since they probably had money on either side, but when it did pass, jews would have entire barrels of wine shipped to their synagogues (they were allowed this since it was "religious exemption") That religious exemption was, in fact, Purim, which is allegedly some day where jews are allowed to drink to excess. So not only did jews have their fun, but they also skimmed some profits off the top. They would ship in a container of what they claimed was wine, only for it to be some other alcoholic substance, which they would then sell in black markets. Many police busts were reported where synagogues were caught trying to sell the vodka or whiskey or whatever it is they could get past the initial customs officers for "religious reasons". Another fun fact, you know who else profited big time from prohibition? Oil oligarchs but I repeat myself. They lobbied intensely during prohibition and got it into law so that any 'legal' applications of pure or grain alcohol, such as for Ethanol, had to be 'toxified' with a certain amount of crude oil, per gallon. In other words, the people who were trying very hard to make ethanol a possible, safer, more renewable alternative to gasoline, had to pay for a certain amount of oil just to make their Ethanol "street-legal" during prohibition. Cutting into the profits of Ethanol while also perpetuating the use of oil. This was a major factor in the downfall of ethanol as a reasonable alternative.
Well, this has me a little hopeful for the future, all things considered. Even if the zoomers are retarded, they will have to endure this shit censorship and may even overturn it in about 10 years.

>>1626699 The S.401 - Fair Access to Banking Act was proposed by republicans tho. It seems they care more about your freedoms than demoRats.
>>1627040 It should be noted that the inception of the act is a response to things like how donald trump got debanked or how various political pundits have faced similar issues. It also helping in this cause is incidental. The republicans are partisans and dont care about these issues until it affects them. This isn't to say the bill is bad, far from it, but don't read it as them caring about freedom in general.
>>1627055 So? Overall, in the grand scheme of things republicans and right-wing parties are more supportive free speech than democrats/leftoids. People seem to forget the disinformation task force that Biden tried to force on us. And nearly every left-wing party in the world wants some form of hate-speech laws. The worst you'll ever get with right wingers are their attempts to ban porn, which is nothing compared to banning political speech.
>>1627062 The Republicans are continuous failures on free speech just as much as the dems. You are a partisan.
>>1627071 How so? What is what the republicans currently doing as bad as what the democrats were doing when they had power?
>>1627077 Just as the dems will say things like "hate speech isn't free speech" the republicans enforce the same policies just in regards to antisemitism, did you miss the part where people are having their visas revoked for being against israel. Or how about the part where I, living in a red state, have to use vpns to fucking chicago or LA or wherever else to access shit like denpasoft. Saying the dems are worse is merely recency bias because the right has been largely disempowered for a long time.
>>1627078 >did you miss the part where people are having their visas revoked for being against israel This is no where near the same as censoring your own citizen, as the democrats were doing. People on visas shouldn't be too outwardly political, especially when it's against the current government you're residing in. You would apply this to anywhere you travel in the world. >where I, living in a red state, have to use vpns to fucking chicago or LA or wherever else to access shit like denpasoft As I said. ""Censorship"" of porn isn't good, but nowhere near as bad as the censorship of political speech.
>>1627097 Picking the "less bad" option isn't how you get what you want is my main point, if your voting "against" something instead of "for" something, you have already lost. Take your own side. On the point about visas I agree but that is definitionally the censorship of political speech of people who are legally here in the most extreme form possible and if they could punish proper citizens in the same manner, they would.
Raymond means well, but I doubt the UN had anything to do with this. Monopoly market structure and a lack of legal immunity seem the likely candidates. This all started in 2007 when the card monopoly banned all transactions associated with bestiality (legal content in a great many jurisdictions then, and even now), which was at the behest of the US government. Since it was bestiality, most approved and it established the extra-legal censorship regime. The inflection point towards the near apocalypse of adult content we have now (only vanilla/blacked content filmed using professional industry prostitutes allowed) was then of course Mindgeek leaving a lot of underage material up on Pornhub, which resulted in a legacy media hitpiece and subsequent lawsuits which have almost succeeded in making the card monopoly pay out. Now there is a situation where the card networks put out an ambiguous set of rules for 'mark damaging' content or marketing, and the acquiring banks beneath them all interpret these rules in different ways, usually becoming more conservative over time due to their ever-shrinking 'risk appetite' and the lack of competition in this space. This leads to situations where the more conservative adult acquirers (this is a real example) block cat-ears and tails in case they might fall foul of card network rules. I suspect Steam was spared 'adult merchant' compliance requirements as a larger account, but as has been seen their acquirers eventually caught up with them. It's also the case that Steam uses different acquiring banks in different regions - so each bank can exert different standards and Steam will be forced to comply with the most stringent. The banks do not risk losing a larger account either, as transactions would be split between many banks. For the same reason, it is impossible to get any reasonable treatment from these banks - each commercial customer is only worth 1-2% of their transaction volume to the bank, so without gigantic volumes they will consider them small fry and give no thought to terminating their accounts if they feel it might cause 'risk'. It also does not help that the scope of genuinely 'illegal' content has drastically increased over time with the likes of the utter poltroons governing the UK outlawing BDSM, 'revenge porn', and the like. The position of the credit card monopoly will also mean it is likely there will be global age verification in a very short period of time (months rather than years I expect). The payment processors are already starting to insist on this in order to to maintain a merchant account involved with adult content, and since money has to enter the system somewhere advertisers will start to insist on it as well, so it will be spread to free sites. Increased barriers to entry from all this compliance and KYC will further reduce the number of platforms even more than the network effect did, and of course gradually normalising a China-style Internet where everyone's access is tied to an ID is probably considered highly desirable as well. The final solution to the bankish question? Disintermediation of the banks from the transfer of funds between businesses and consumers. In other words, normalisation of cryptocurrency as a medium of exchange, not merely of speculation and fraud.
>>1627111 >Picking the "less bad" option isn't how you get what you want is my main point, if your voting "against" something instead of "for" something, you have already lost. Take your own side. How is voting for less censorship, or more deportations not taking my own side? The "less bad" option, or the option which support more of my positions is better than one that support none. Waiting for the perfect Hitler/Christ to come means you'll never support anyone, because no one is perfect. You'll always have to compromise in life. And the visa thing is different because the government should be on the lookout for foreign workers/student or even tourist who are political agitators. Censoring these people by kicking them out of the country is a normal action to take, and one most people would support if viewed in a different lens than the pissrael/pisstine debate.
>>1627127 >more deportations Oh yea theres been so many deportations that they don't publish the numbers.

>>1627119 Redditors always leave out that the card monopolies also went after right-wingers and gun companies. I image they do this is because they support the censorship/de platforming of these groups.
>>1627137 >They also wouldnt be doing it at all if it wasnt about israel. This isn't true, they have kick Chinese students out for agitating on the side of china before. Foreigners shouldn't have the same free speech protections as citizens. >Oh yea theres been so many deportations that they don't publish the numbers I don't know if there have been more deportations or not tbh. I have yet to see anyone arguing online cite anything definitive proof either way. There seems to be a massive propaganda campaign around this issue, both saying that theres been mass deportations, or none at all, depending on who the target is. >We are literally seeing censorship ramp up from 2024. Yeah, leftoids which still control a lot of the legislative branch and corporations are still pushing censorship. Almost none of it comes from the republicans, aside from the porn ID laws, which again, is bad, but not as bad as the censorship of political speech perpetrated by leftoids.

>>1626455 There was a known schizo on 4/v/ who kept parroting pretty hard that Nintendo Japan is censoring third-parties, especially when people were starting to crack down on Nintendo of America, in order to suddenly shift all the attention elsewhere. Nevermind that Nintendo Japan itself has no problem with loli shit since they even showcased in their Direct the Konami's idol game, Shine Post (every heroine is 17 and below and they can wear swimsuits too), or even banned the use of foreign Visa/Mastercard cards for the Eshop and Nintendo Store (even if the official reason was to prevent fraud).

>>1627078 The problem is that people like us have no friends in Washington, or really, anywhere in the halls of power.

What's the solution to over zealotry by a private company? Obviously enforcing laws won't work, assuming we get anyone in power to actually pass the law for us. Since it's a private company, there's little that can be done publicly other than restricting the money flow, but since they hold such a monopoly on payment processing by now, I find that will be a rather difficult task. I suppose if, for instance, a Sega game gets censored, the resolution would be to boycott sega games and advocate/spread piracy of their games. The only thing these greedy faggots care about is money, so I have to wonder if going after the money is the only way to dig society out of this hole.
>>1628396 But Sega isn't a private company and a lot of problems start because of that
>>1627344 >irronically, all the pedoffahers are modernist. This isn't true + you're drunk.
>>1628241 This isn't true, I sadly have an nvidia gpu and my app works fine.
>>1627159 >Yeah, leftoids which still control a lot of the legislative branch and corporations are still pushing censorship. Almost none of it comes from the republicans, aside from the porn ID laws, which again, is bad, but not as bad as the censorship of political speech perpetrated by leftoids. This is what pisses me off about all these centrists and other types sperging about Republicans. The left still has considerable power in legislative, corporations, institutions and education. Sure the right can censor or do fucking retarded shit still, but it's a false equivalency when you consider the above.
>>1628396 Crypto currency, smutfags creating their own payment processor and banks to use it or funny green mario man method is also a solution.
>>1628510 Using cryptocurrency as a currency would be a great start, especially XMR. Supposedly Zeno's even more private than Monero.
>>1628594 I know Steam tried bitcoin but ultimately stopped due to the conversion rates. I think the best solution would for businesses to use US Tether so they don't have to worry about another FTX situation.
>>1628601 Isn't this just another pseudo crypto marketing thread?
>>1628601 >but ultimately stopped due to the conversion rates They stopped because they implemented it in as stupid of a way imaginable, and then blamed fraud. They didn't bother verifying transactions, so hackers would buy games and then alter the transaction data before it arrived. It was the equivalent of just accepting 16 random numbers and calling it a credit card transaction.
>>1628625 Have any better ideas?
>>1628594 Crypto would have been a great alternative, unfortunately cyrpobros made sure to absolutely obliterate any change of it ever becoming a widely accepted currency alternative. I swear half of them were spooks trying to taint that well.

But I thought that certain leftists who have been posting here spelling English with an extra "u" have been testifying it's le bad Christian Bible belt conservatives (so long as they are "kosher conservatives" like John Thune and George W. Bush, not those tykes they loathe that actually want to bring about change and are an actual threat) that are trying to bring about this hamfisted attempt at the Great Reset?

Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet https://archive.ph/fwko6 >Reddit is blocking users from sub-Reddits containing news and footage from Gaza and Ukraine unless they show ID, and other less clearly violent sub-Reddits are shutting off access too. According to reporter Taylor Lorenz, British users need to verify their ages to access “r/periods, r/stopsmoking, r/stopdrinking,” and “other subreddits that provide essential community support to users including minors like r/sexualassault.”
Why is all of this happening at once? Doesn't it make more sense for them to boil the frog?
>>1629738 >Why is all of this happening at once? My guess would be that something big coming.
>>1629738 Maybe because DEI is rapidly dying, so they know they need to strike fast? Also, people seem to be quickly turning against Israel.
>>1629738 The UK has things they need to distract from. UK needs to ramp up their authoritarianism since people are rapidly turning against the government and the camel jockeys they imported.

>>1629738 >>1629746 what >>1629771 said, IIRC the current party in power is the UK's "right wing" party after the "left wing " was starting shit before the last election , except the "right wing" was just a what people accuse the US of being, a single uniparty. They did everything the left promised so the controled opposition are marked for losing power forever, thus a slot opens for a real right wing party that can be unified via the internet. Another reason is the right is finally warming up to the left's tactics and fighting back. It feels like the left was free to cancel whoever they wanted and only last year people started to not bend the knee. It also seems more recently that the right is starting to fight back at least on a global/national level, such as with the mother (even if she isn't a paragon, she still shows the right's willingness to act) with smaller city/state still being weak. In britain to feels like there isn't a month that goes by without somekinda spur of the moment riot over illegal aliens, just like what the left did for what feels like a decade. Now right's aren't anywhere near as (((supported))) as the left's but they are still happening which is better than nothing or needing to be annouced a head of time and there by being cucked by both the police and antifa goons The internet is an archive of everything said and done. It allows a window into the past, to call out bad actors and their history of lies. The left used this to dox and cancel, for being racist or sexist in the past. The right uses it to share hard proof and unmask. Think of GG, SBI dected, and calling out of DEI-BRIDGE. It also weakens the power of the negative conotation of word "right wing conspiracy", for every "conspiracy" that proven true afterwards via the internet. EX: The questionable health of Hillary/Biden, or the email server/son's laptop. Which further exposes the (((media))) and lets the internet gain even more legitimacy in a snowball effect. What the left calls "a radicalizing pipeline", is just people opening their eyes (((those in places))) cannot allow any of that, because the rest of the first world will know that you could also do this & that and shatter (((their))) power. So they are speedrunning internet censorship and shutdown right now to prevent those things from happening. In order to fight an enemy, you must first know them; the britains know exactly who the enemy is and that is why they are the lighting rod of censorship How would you know how deep the corruption is if you cannot see reports on the internet? How would you support you fellows across the nation without the internet? How could you prove things that happened or are currently, that now only exist in memory? it's very blackpilling to think you are all alone and no one understands you but with the internet, the people around you can easily know the things you know, that others will have your back, and even more will remember and spread the word. People are not nearly as broken as expected, and that is why (((they))) must rush to shut the greatest tool humanity has, down
>>1629953 >current party in power is the UK's "right wing" party after the "left wing " was starting shit before the last election , Stopped reading right there. The current party in power is Labor which is more or less the Left/Democratic party. Sure, you could say that both Labor and Conservative are "left wing", but the Labor party is more to the left than the Conservative party.

>>1629738 It's an arguably bipartisan position unless Trump does something directly. The ideal scenario would be, "I'm going to cut out the US from Five Eyes and declare 200% flat tariffs against any foreign nation which tries to censor Americans living on American soil. Also, I'm signing the anti-deplatforming bill into law," but even that doesn't fix calls for KOSA. As mentioned previously, Collective Shout pushes for things as Christian Feminists, and just having Christian in the name is enough to make the mouths of Americans over 40 water. Given how 67/100 of US Senators were born before 1965, it's not hard to find connections. From the Left, the push for censorship is just a Feminist issue, one they've been trying to hammer for ages and are pumping the gas on now that Trump won. This is so they can prevent another 2016. On the more hopeful side, IODA is unlikely to pass. It's an anklebiter bill made by people who have ties to Mormons, having been sponsored and co-sponsored by people who have tried, and failed, to push it for three years (see: IODA (2022) and IODA (2024)). The current attempt is more likely than not a trial to ride the current wave and shit test Trump for Mormons. Given how Trump is a rather sleazy New Yorker when it comes to sexual promiscuity, I don't see it making a lot of headway unless something major happens. KOSA is a a different matter, given how it is legitimately bipartisan. That said, look at how it's bipartisan. It's being supported by people like THUNE, KLOBUCHAR, HICKENLOOPER, CORNYN, BLUMENTHAL, and SCHUMER. These people are poison to any bill under Trump, the kind that the people who introduced it, BLACKBURN, even if they were endorsed by Trump, would likely have to put in a Herculean effort to cover. BLUMENTHAL, for example, is someone who tried to imprison Trump directly. With all of the blowback over the OSA happening in the UK, who Trump has positioned himself against, I don't think he'd consider signing it unless something extreme happened. Of course, you should still contact local representatives. Any percent chance that these pass is too great.
>>1630041 What the fuck are you talking about. I made zero mention of the MasterCard/Visa situation, other than referencing Collective Shout. The question posed was "Why all at once?" and I gave an answer. If you're referring to my previous posts, you're replying to the wrong one, and the original statement by Valve in 2017 described that it was due to price volatility while GabeN's recent statement attributes it to fraud, leaving it open to speculation as a common model at the time would mean someone could pay X on basically an IOU one minute, then really need to pay X+/-100 the next because of price fluctuation, then possibly pay nothing at all because it was basically an IOU anyway. Valve got shafted from this due to its inexperience. Take your meds now.

USA wtf are you doing?, are you going to fuck up the world again?.

Plz get your NGOs in check and purge Blackrock please.
>>1630272 We'll see. Taking away the bread (sharply rising grocery prices) and taking away the circus (banning porn and violent videogames) are time tested methods to get the people to kill the government. And this is coming off the heels of Kanye releasing his Heil Hitler song, the gaza genocide radicalizing moderates against jews, and the epstein cover up disintegrating MAGAtard's (aka gun owners) faith in Trump and in political solutions. Two blackstone CEOs were just murdered back to back. Maybe, just maybe, things are about to start happening.

Also those people tried to get anime and normal porn banned too so only their stuff was left. ANYONE who tries to ban something is wrong as is anyone who tries to force content into a product. In an ideal world what was popular would motivate what got made and at what scale regardless of outside influence. In that case tranny shit should be a non-factor because economics has proven again and again it doesn't sell. Ergo they'd be a niche product for a niche audience and normal people wouldn't have to deal with it unless they went specifically searching for it. At most you'd just have to filter certain search results. This is simply trading one authoritarian algorithm for another.
Grand Theft Auto 2 delisted from Steam, causes speculation that it is connected to Visa and Mastercard https://archive.fo/PuzSs Meh, even if I personally know it's not connected, telling normalfags that sitting by and doing nothing will mean Grand Theft Auto VI will get blocked seems like an angle that can actually work, given how many hack news outlets are pumping out these headlines.

My personal view is that the Supreme Court fucked itself with many of its recent rulings and once the pendulum swings and Democrats get back into power they'll stack the Court as both revenge and as a political maneuver. Once that happens the Court's going to lose all it's power and authority and become completely partisan because every new administration will do the same thing when they gain power. >>1634968 They ruled that they have some right not unlimited right. It's entirely possible that a given enforcement regime could be declared unconstitutional. >>1634977 Not to mention that just last month the Supreme Court banned universal injunctions. Only it didn't. It banned the specific version of universal injunctions. Other processes like universal injunctions exist and are still being used. So basically the ruling meant little. Same way with their age verification ruling. Every single method of age verification will now have to adjudicate itself to the SC and they'll have to make a ruling on it. >>1635025 >There's more than enough insider trading Congress is actually trying to ban that. >>1635025 >The government is in the middle of a power grab.

VALVE CALLS OUT MASTERCARD'S BULLSHIT https://archive.ph/AMUwg
>>1636313 It's good manners to give a short sentence about what the video is about rather than just be vague, in case said video is clickbait that you completely fell for.
GTA, Duke Nukem, and Saints Row are the "true" targets of this current wave of censorship https://archive.ph/NXzo6 <DRM-free games storefront ZOOM Platform, which specialises in older PC games, released a statement titled “Preserving and Protecting Artistic Freedom” on 2 August 2025, claiming that one of their payment processors reached out to notify the site of concerns similar to those affecting itch.io and Steam: <“One of our payment processors made us aware that a ‘fellow member of the industry’ was concerned about our content. After we heard from the payment processor, we immediately engaged in lengthy discussions with both PayPal and Stripe.” <ZOOM Platform went on to say that they began working with these processors to “develop a tripartite solution” to their concerns. This solution includes the implementation of opt-in Two-Factor Authentication for customers, alternate payment processors and options, and a “wallet system” that allows users to add funds directly to their ZOOM Platform account and spend on the site’s products. <ZOOM Platform said this solution was developed to “ensure the right to free speech and freedom of expression as well as protect the safety of our valued customers and partners,” and later in the statement maintained that they “have no plans to remove any titles, and will do absolutely everything in our power to prevent such de-listings. We are fervent supporters of artistic freedom and always will be.” <A few days after ZOOM Platform posted its statement, a representative told GamingOnLinux that they expected delistings to grow, and that, in discussions at ZOOM Platform, titles like “Grand Theft Auto, Duke Nukem, and Saints Row were described as potentially at risk.” <ZOOM Platform does not currently offer GTA or Saints Row games, though it does appear to be the only online marketplace that offers Duke Nukem 1, Duke Nukem 2, Duke Nukem 3D, and Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project – all four games make up the platform’s best-sellers. <Update, 6 August 2025: A spokesperson for ZOOM Platform provided the following clarification to This Week in Videogames: <“In the course of our discussions with the payment processors, going over the content contained within games on our store, including the Duke Nukem franchise, we were made aware of loosely defined language, rules from credit card companies, that could include Duke Nukem’s portrayal of women.” <“When we pressed for more details, given that such language cast a wide net, we were told that Grand Theft Auto, and similar titles such as Saints Row, could very well fit this description.” <Regarding its initial published statement, ZOOM Platform said that “with the advent of the UK’s Online Safety Act, the potentiality for censorship is vastly increasing. We simply wanted to share this information, so that the public would be informed.” Every fucking time, they want to go after the same fucking games >Visa & Mastercard Overwhelmed by Gamer Backlash After Censoring Adult Games https://archive.ph/u6jTW <What started as a quiet “moral cleanup” targeting extreme adult games has escalated into a full-scale revolt. Following pressure from “activist” group Collective Shout, payment processors like Visa and Mastercard reportedly pressured digital storefronts such as Steam and Itch.io to delist or hide adult content—including games with BidenBTQ+ themes, which is ironic as the people who support such “efforts” are known to push censorship towards games with traditional feminine sex appeal. <But now the companies are being flooded with coordinated complaints from those looking to oppose this censorship. According to a report from Polygon, gamers are using call-in scripts and mass email templates to jam up Visa and Mastercard’s customer support systems, demanding they stop acting as moral gatekeepers for legal, digital entertainment. It’s gotten so bad that reps are reportedly “overwhelmed” by the volume of messages. Oh, sure, people go after these groups NOW, but not when it doesn't effect the games and media they don't like.

So now that the Cheetoh In Chief has basically made it illegal for payment processors to continue their shenanigans, I wonder where that's going to leave platforms like Steam, GOG, and Itch I mean, all of these sites now have zero excuse for removing content. In fact they should have every reason to begin restoring the formerly removed material, in addition to actually being more lenient in the types of content they allow. But if they don't do that, let's say in six to eight months, what are you guys going to do then? Are you even going to care?
>>1641043 I did not use those shops prior to the weg holocaust and will continue to avoid them, dlsite is my vendor of choice
>>1641043 I'll never forget or forgive what the payment processors did, even if they start backpedaling. I'm going to keep looking into alternate methods of transferring money.
>>1641210 Librepay is what i suggest, every retard uses paypal and shit like that which requires giving out info fuck that shit nigger, let me pay anonymously if i want
>>1641043 My expectation is that most of the stores that cucked out are going to quietly stay the course (keeping everything they banned still banned, but not doing any new bans that alert people) and wait for normalcattle goldfish memory to kick in and accept the new status quo.

I don't know the usa public seems pretty on top of this and unlike europe you actually live in a democracy so long as you can keep this shit away europe tech will collapse and fall in line and get rid of this shit., the alternative is the usa eating all there tech company's after bankrupcy.
>>1641340 >the alternative is the usa eating all there tech company's after bankrupcy. Anon, Europe doesn't have any tech companies, or any industries for that matter. You know what Trump tariffed Europe with? Taxes on their alcohol. The entire European economy, when it isn't being propped up by EU debt and embezzling money from NATO, relies entirely upon the liquor and tourism industries because they have absolutely nothing else. This isn't the 90's anymore, where English and Kraut programmers dominated majority of software advancements.
>>1641359 >Taxes on their alcohol why the fuck would the usa buy eu alcohol outside spirits that by law must be a certain % to count as that spirit eu alcohol is weak as piss from being watered down to keep alcohol taxes low?
>>1641043 ideally, I will do what the payment processors wanted us to divide us on. Try to push the focus on the game platforms like steam, gog and itch to make them put the games back up. Ideally the CCs can be swayed to push on, and there by the normalfags, into starting to call and email them with the backing of the Ex' order. Valve seems easy with the small pool of talent. Gog is a 2 faced snake looking for free wins so they could be strong armed into being better. Itch seems like they're already lost
>>1641340 It's only a matter of time, and as long as its on clearnet sites i don't mind
>>1641359 >Anon, Europe doesn't have any tech companies, or any industries for that matter. You I am no expert on this, but I do know there are various European tech companies in the Automotive industry, as I work there, anti-virus software, militirary industry, not as big as US, but it's not non-existent. This is just from what I saw when I applied to various companies, but there are all sorts of other firms, like think-cell, but again this is just from a casual glance at the software job market here in Europe. >>1641368 Something, something, Contreau can only come from Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou, France, among other types of spirits, the same way Sake can only come from Japan, and the same way various drinks can only be made in America.

"Champagne" was valid for all sparkling wine before 2008 and has a load of grandfathered examples, "parmesan" is widely copied by American cheese makers. California made "sake" (which just means booze in general. Properly named nihonshu.) is everywhere.
>>1641417 I agree that any country can make it's own triple sec that is also a liqueur, doesn't mean it will have the same taste or that it will be as good as Campari. Same with Campari, you can make your own bitter that acts as an aperitif, doesn't mean it will taste the same, and without Campari you won't make a good Negroni, though that is more of a taste thing. >Champagne I do agree that forcing everyone else to call their champagne "sparking wine" is bullshit.

>>1639801 The EO covers porn (which the payment processors say is dangerous to children) because the EO covers "constitutional rights" which includes the first amendment, which itself covers expressions of opinion in the form of art, which porn falls under - for better or worse. There's no way Visa/Mastercard are going to risk the semantics will fall in their favor if this matter is brought to court.
>>1641612 So they're afraid of setting a precedent, much like how companies are afraid of directly suing emulators or emulation in general, because they're terrified that it could completely legalize it, instead of leaving it in the sort of gray area that it's in right now. Sony already learned this harsh lesson with Bleem.
>>1641612 >EO covers "constitutional rights" It doesn't. The "policy" section is not relevant as it only declares what the policy of the Federal Government of the United States is. The definition of "politicized or unlawful debanking" is the only thing that matters, and that doesn't say anything about constitutional rights.
>>1641711 >The definition of "politicized or unlawful debanking" is the only thing that matters, and that doesn't say anything about constitutional rights. ??? Do you not understand what "lawful" means? If it's protected by the constitution, then it's lawful.
>>1641711 Well you know what will cover constitutional rights? The US constitution.
>>1639811 Leftists were never under risk of being debanked, so this means nothing.
>>1641774 >lawful business activities that the financial service provider disagrees with or disfavors for political reasons. Read it again. I'm saying that they worded this so it only covers religious or political beliefs. The banks and credit card companies can still claim that protecting children isn't political (and groups like Collective Shout absolutely WILL do this), and they will try to use that as a way to get around the EO. The wording of the bill pending Congress has the same problem.
>>1641914 >I'm saying that they worded this so it only covers religious or political beliefs That's because you're retarded.
>>1641948 >That's because you're retarded. You're a fucking retard. That's what it fucking says.
>>1641774 Obscenity's in a gray area. It's basically "hope the judge is in a good mood." The payment processors, if anything, just got carte blanche to continue their crusade, as long as they leave Charlie Kirk alone.
>>1642140 Depends on the state, just means instead of being blanket banned it might get hit if you live in a bible belt state.
>>1642140 Exactly. That's what I've been saying. >>1642142 >Depends on the state Depends on the judge. Federal judges are appointed by presidents, it doesn't make a difference if the state is in the Bible belt or not. It's not like they're elected officials.
>>1642142 And what is a website supposed to do? Mobile devices use IPs based in other states all the time. It's going to remain a minefield and there's going to be a chilling effect. This isn't a matter of "collect taxes on someone if they're in a certain zip code." This EO is a middle finger to us. It's typical Trump, take something away from people while couching it as a success for them so he can gaslight the MAGApedes. He confirmed that Visa and Mastercard can keep fucking with Japanese art and adult content, as long as they make it so Louder with Crowder doesn't have to take crypto to read sponsorships. Now on top of liberals wanting to go after their political opponents, we have MAGA faggots against us, too. Remember how they did a perfect 180 on Epstein once he started lying about how it's fake?
>>1642159 >Depends on the judge. No, it depends on the state. Massachusetts doesn't give a fuck about what Georgia thinks is obscene, no matter what a federal judge says. That's the whole point of the 10th amendment.
>>1642163 >That's the whole point of the 10th amendment. Commerce clause. If it's interstate commerce, it's the purview of the federal government, whether Massachusetts likes it or not. The moment that the dev in Colorado makes a deal with Valve in Washington to put his game on servers in Utah so someone in Massachusetts can buy it, it doesn't matter what some judge in Springfield thinks.
>>1642169 *Boston Polite sage
>>1641043 At the end of the day, though, it's just an EO. The current administration can quietly revoke it just as easily in another stroke of a pen, and if they don't, then it'll certainly get shitcanned the next time a Dem gets in office and sets about their first 90 days in undoing or co-opting every EO that Trump puts in place. The EO is and should only be a stop-gap measure until the legislature makes it a law, and preferably a Supreme Court ruling that reinforces existing precedent in light of the new attempts to censor.
>>1642140 >hope the judge is in a good mood this applies to all cases more or less

>>1639768 >Federal banking regulator This doesn't impact visa and mastercard at all, they aren't federal banks.
>>1641359 Europe has huge industries like the farming industries which are the most innovative of the world, automotive industries, petrol chemical industries, shipbuilding industries, lots of amazing tech industries like asml, and we could blow the USA out of the water if and only if we don't keep destroying our futures with climate shit and insane amounts of red tape created by our governments. We had amazing universities but they have become graduation mills and any innovation is almost dead. Europe is killed by bureaucracies. >>1641914 You need to read better, it clearly states: lawful business activities regardless of your religious or political reasons. Where do you think protecting the children falls under?, and the recent censorship from Visa and Mastercard?. Because if it is not political and religion that motivated them then what did?
>>1642830 If nothing else, it's decent evidence point that the Jews are officially dropping leftists as the "favored puppets". Problem is, that implies they're going Right.
>>1643843 >Europe is killed by bureaucracies. No, you guys killed it, yourselves. Every terrible idea that has plagued the world for the past three centuries came out of or originated in Europe. Seriously, look it up. Climate change came from the English and the Swedes. Socialism came from the Germans and the French. You can bitch all you want about how you "used to be great", but the reality of that you never were. Why do you think people kept leaving for America, Brazil, Asia, and even fucking Australia after a while?
>>1643914 >Climate change came from the English You know what else came from the English? Americans.
