Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

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

petitions are not a silver bullet, but they ARE a powerful point of pressure.

far right, puritanical interests got to where they are due to years, if not decades, of grassroots pressure.
To fight it, we have to be prepared to do the same. Make your fight sustainable to prepare for a long haul.

Even reaching the required number of signatures doesn't guarantee that a law change will take place; in fact, it's highly unlikely. However, it further applies pressure to the payment processors, which continue to make things difficult for consumers.

Once again, already sponsored by a member of the house. If it gets enough signatures, it will be brought to the HOC floor. We've spent the last several months with american imperialism threatening our sovereignty. Now is the best time to show them american corporations are attacking our rights.

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures.

This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech!

Keywords
Censorship Credit cards Internet Pornography

E-petition
Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario

Original language of petition: English
Petition details
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:

Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content;
In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites;
As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”;
As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and
This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to
1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services;
2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and
3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.

I feel it is my responsibility as your mainstream comic book friend to further explain that what dc is doing to Gretchen is unprecedented

They haven’t only cancelled the series, they are refunding the comics that are already created and recalling the issue that is already sold.

Stellaween? @antlervel.vet · 27d

Hello everyone. You may know Gretchen Felker-Martin has once again been suspended from bc they do that whenever some chud complains. Her brand-new ongoing DC series was also cancelled for the same reason. It’s stupid fascist bullshit as usual. Gretchen’s work rules. Consider supporting her here:
