I fully agree. I keep seeing the notifications from the tags but when I try to access it, I can’t.
I don’t have the most resources but when I can I do try to support the requests.
I wish they would put this effort into getting rid of the real bot accounts

This is an odd situation, and genuinely one worth reading about if you actually Do care about games as art
Because is there challenging, troubling imagery in the game? Sure, yes
Is any of it like- porn or whatever? No. Not even remotely. But this is why rulings against porn media hurt everyone.

The fact her solution to having to “talk through a wall of dead children” is to ban cellphones and not stop committing a genocide is actually insane.
Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz says Jewish students shouldn’t have smartphones until they finish high school — so they don’t see the “carnage” Israel and the U.S. have carried out in Gaza.

Signal is secure as long as the people in it are secure.
Signal's encryption can not protect you from adding the editor of The Atlantic to your war group chat.

Snitches are how 99% of FBI cases work, or someone talking when they shouldn't. It's almost never breaking encryption.
So, keep using signal because its the best option we have. Do not switch to telegram which is DEMONSTRABLY less secure.

“The FBI gained access to conversations in a ‘courtwatch’ Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.”

HOW TO CONTACT
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
(US) +1 (800)-307-7309
phone tree nav: 1-1-2-2-2-1
(INTL) +1 (636)-722-7111
VISA
(US + CAN) +1 (800)-847-2911
phone tree nav: 1-1-5. mash account #.
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.
PAYPAL
(US + CAN) 1-(402)-935-2050

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

BARCLAYS

WELLS FARGO
Both Paypal and Stripe have indicated that their banking partners have also been a source of ant- Adult Content pressure.
While there are MANY banks associated with paypros, these 3 are prime initial targets.
