New TOS censorship of fictional adult content is a massive overreach and makes this definitively not a free and open platform. It demonizes survivors and silences artists.
Everyone is telling you a much healthier way is to give us better tools, like more robust labels, to moderate ourselves

1. Bluesky doesn’t downrank links
2. You can choose your own algorithm from among thousands
3. The whole app is open source
This keeps it a free and open platform by design, leading to better click-throughs and traffic to your site.
We 💙 the open web.

The UK speedran straight from porn to educational material in the regulation-to-censorship pipeline. We were warning people of this kind of thing but it happened faster than I expected.

ITS WORTH NOTING THAT NCOSE IS NOT SOME OFFICIAL GOVT ORG OR WHATNOT, THEY ARE A REBRANDED CHRISTIAN FASCIST GROUP
NCOSE takes a swing. As I predicted, they're a key player in all of this. They've been obsessed with Steam since 2018, when Steam actually opened the door to adult content after NCOSE tried to get a ton of visual novels (like HuniePop) pulled

I... never would have expected GOG to do a big porn giveaway to protest censorship, but hey, it's high profile enough to bring the site to its knees so CLEARLY it's spreading awareness.
This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free.

This statement is false. Mastercard has enacted several required restrictions of activity on platforms that support it, including the attached screenshots, which all come from the Security Rules & Procedures within their Specialty Merchant Registration Program. www.mastercard.us/content/dam/...

You do, actually, really, truthfully have to treat "websites with single-digit staff counts doing their best" with more respect and sympathy than multi-billion megacorps, if only because if they decide the grief isn't worth it then the extremely inclusive platform they built Goes Away
The OTHER camp has been blasting out weird alternate-universe fanfic wherein Itch is an evil cackling corpo with 100s of employees and 100s of millions to splash on lawyers. See: "platforms are not your friend" as thought-terminating cliche. These people are worse than useless!

tl;dr - the reason why pro-censorship groups, notably Collective Shout, have influence over the payment processors is because they’re backed by a lobbying group called GOSRN (the Global Online Safety Regulators Network)
if you’re looking at the PP censor situation, you might want to look into this.

DON'T STOP CALLING.
email them if you want, sure, but the fact that they are requesting people to *email them instead* (presumably because emails are much easier to ignore) means that the calls are WORKING, i.e. becoming a massive nuisance and interrupting workflow.

They told me they're getting a lot of complaints about this when I called, tried to push me to do an e-mail. Politely told them I would prefer to leave my complaint by phone and they took it. Easy. If you're calling Visa, hit 0 and lead by saying you'd like to file a complaint.

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?
