Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

THANKS. FOR. WATCHING.
Again and again, thank you for watching and your continued hype for animation made outside of mainstream studios. So proud of our crew, so thankful to work with Glitch, so happy to write next to Zach and JBO.

They aren't backing down, they're getting MORE aggressive

So we need to get more aggressive too. Keep calling the payment pros. Start sending them letters. Contact your reps too & let them know you think censoring the internet and especially giving payment processors this kind of power is BAD

ATTN FELLOW CANADIANS:

An actual MP has created a petition to stop financial discrimination against adult creators by payment processors. You have to confirm your email but thats because its something that can actually be shown to parliament.

Michelle Keep @jmkeep.bsky.social · Sep 3

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

If you're Canadian, please sign this! You'll have to confirm your signature via email but for good reason--this is a petition sponsored by an actual member of parliament. These petitions can lead to actual meaningful action here. Doesn't take very long, please add your support!!

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage?

This is a GIFT.

"You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here.

People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.

foxyoreos (they/them, commissions open) @foxyoreos.bsky.social · Aug 30

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers.

In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?

VTuber Milky: "PayPal recently out of no where terminated my account perm, mostly due to my PATREON that is 18+"

Milky 🌌 🥛
@Miilkywayz
Hello this is Milky and truly this is sudden to make an announcement of but I feel it is my heart to try my best to warn other creators before this happens to you as well.

Paypal recently out of no where terminated my account perm, mostly due to my PATREON that is 18+ I know without a doubt it was for this reason as I sent a transfer and it flagged everything on Paypal and caused my termination once they most likely saw it was an 18+ Patreon account.

As you know, if you don't.. Payment processors are growing more and more against 18+ creators and finding any way to terminate them, the moment you are on their radar. It's game over and you will lose your account.

I never thought this would happen to me, I've been a creator for 5 years and I never had any issues, I'm still shocked and in disbelief but I know without a doubt it was my Patreon.

What does this mean for me? For now please do not donate to me as I have no valid working Paypal. I have made the choice of no longer creating 18+ content on my Patreon as I am left with no other choice. I DO NOT Intend to fight these Payment Processors, It's a fight no one can win because we are all at their mercy.

Please keep in mind if you really think things like "It's fine, It's not going to happen to me." Please re-think this because this is exactly what I thought as well until it happened to me. It's only a matter of time, protect yourself by all means please don't be naive like I was.
