They’re describing it as a “shock and awe” campaign, which is why it’s essential to show them there’s huge opposition NOW. Call / email your reps to let them know you oppose censorship bills like KOSA and the SCREEN.

This is theft in plain sight. I think it's the perfect time to call PayPal and make them explain themselves. This is unfair and unacceptable. Here's there number (along with others who are involved with crap like this). #SaveSpeech #CPBC

4 PHONE CALLS A DAY
[If you're able to do more, you are encouraged to do so]
WHO?
WHY?
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
(AUS) 1800 931 678
(GER) +49 69 945189975
STRIPE

(Cust. Support) (877) 887-7815
+1 (888) 926 2289 (say you are in california)
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.
CITIBANK (ENG) 1-(888)-248-4226

+800 800 88885 (replace [+) with country's exit code
WELLS FARGO
1-800-869-3557
For now, begin by treating banks the same as how the CARDS and PAYPROS were early on. Call in, make explicit complaints re: Adult Content...](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vyys5nq3rbuvi3o5svdqyooo/bafkreid5zdweadn7oibel3kdfwspusug4c3tlemyjaytpgrxn6v4lttg4y@jpeg)

Keep pushing, we can't let up now! This isn't just about games, it's about censorship. And they WILL censor the SFW furry and LGBTQ+ spaces, we're already seeing examples. Now is not the time for complacency, nor smugness thinking your group will be spared and only the undesirables will go.
You gotta keep talking about the issue! Paypros havent reversed their policies on Itch or Steam yet! Keep talking about it, keep contacting influencers, news outlets and legislators about the issue! Keep it in the public consciousness!
Reading through hundreds of games journalism headlines from major outlets and revealing the gaming press has effectively stopped covering the paypro issue made me visibly mad on stream

this is why adult creators are really emphasizing that non-creators be the ones who contact paypal. Of all the paypros, PP is the most likely to act in a retaliatory manner towards individual accounts. If you dont make adult content or youre just a commissioner, you are able to help a LOT
Whenever I've called PayPal and brought up issues with adult content they have always asked me first if I'm engaging in selling it through my account. Paypal wants to know if it can target you when you question its policies.
I like how you, as a NSFW creator, need to seek permission - but doing so obviously puts you on their radar and risks getting shit-canned just for trying to be "legit" about it

On this and all social media platforms,all artists NEED to support NSFW art. If your ace (like me) or don't like porn it doesn't matter. The freedom to draw nudity and sexually explicit work for adults shouldn't be demonized because some people find it offensive or refuse to parent their kids.
