Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

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.

The COO of bluesky, Rose, is following the heritage foundation account on bluesky.
She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.
Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

"but art should be accessible" it is, you can learn to draw, paint, collage, sculpt, make pixels. right now, starting today. art has never been more accessible monetarily nor physically than it is now in this age. access to artist labor and machine production is not an accessibility issue.

![SCREEN ACT:
-full age verification. (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks)
-Deeply unsafe for personal and data privacy. Security/data breaches are rampant, and uploading so much sensitive data to every single we site is just asking for mass ID theft.
-id verification is much, much harder on small websites than larger ones, creating a chilling effect and stifling speech for anyone that isnt a massive corporation
-draw comparison to UK's OSA [online safety act] and the backlash it is receiving](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xawhcpoqu6pdxpp72fd43wuf/bafkreidmn2ceympzc546sf3qvmvmx6mkjoxtt3yjxz2vksm4xdzkcbe4pm@jpeg)

The more people you convince to join in on making calls the more we can rotate in and out the people getting burnout while also keeping the call volume increasing.
The situation has to get progressively worse for the paypros or they will just wait and censor more stuff in 3 months

The PayPal issue with Steam is expanding beyond the gaming press alone. Here’s coverage from Tom’s Hardware. Tech website coverage tends to serve as a bridge to the larger mainstream press

Steam games no longer purchasable with PayPal in most countries — Valve offers no timeline for a potential fix
It's always the banks.

reached out to a stripe company spokesperson about support team members claiming to some callers that the payment processor forbids LGBTQ+ content – not just of the adult variety, but in general. the spokesperson told me that is unequivocally incorrect

VISA and MASTERCARD are now refusing all calls related to their policy changes. So call up as a concerned shareholder, prepared to short-sell their shares to reduce financial harm and loss to their portfolios.
They're trying to ignore us. Don't let them.
Evangelical Censorship is death to progress

Legislators are fundamentally metrics driven cowards. Flood them with enough calls and they will start panicking that theyre backing an unpopular issue

I called my rep (Blue district).
Mentioned the KOSA and the SCREEN act, how it's censorious and even a National Security threat, citing Social Security leaks
He said that they've gotten hundreds of calls about KOSA (nice) but they didn't hear about the SCREEN act since it's "not bi-partisan." 🤔
