Payment Processors vs The Internet - Forcing websites to commit Tumblr

[Spud]

Honestly at this point they deserve the authority, they at least know how to be a parent and target an issue whereas the people who complain just talk instead of doing anything about it. If they need authority to dictate what legal content a law abiding citizen what argument can you give against it, they obviously know better as they've got the records showing that when people have the free will and agency on how they spend their money they work a job that covers the bills then spend the rest on things they would enjoy, like seeing titties on an adult website, or playing video games with their friends or raising a family. Disgusting, they should be working longer to contribute to the GDP and to help pay welfare for the economic migrants refugees and every purchase will be controlled to ensure they do not stray from this noble goal. I for one welcome our new payment overlords with my head down and wallet open maybe you guys should also join the winning team.

Your post took me longer than it should have to realize it was a joke. It's so close to actual arguments defending this.

Honestly, even I don't know if I'm joking or not. If they had that authority I would never have to hear another sperg go on about how being able to google big boob and get 2 billion results is the cause as to why the west has fallen but then the vast majority of the games I play and websites I go to wouldn't be able to fund themselves leaving the only option for entertainment is going outside. Rock and a hard place I tell ya. Canadian Trucker Convoy not being able to receive donations, what are you talking about those were far right extremists who didn't want to trust the science and VAXMAX themselves, they have been dealt with accordingly as VISA and MC trust the science and you can trust them.

Long before attacking coomer shit, credit card companies went after firearm sellers after the Parkland shooting in 2018. Some FFLs would wake up and see that their payment processor dropped them overnight. These companies built machine learning models to flag "high risk" merchants and track gun purchases. They can do this to anything and there is absolutely zero recourse.

Freezing the accounts of the Canadian truckers because Trudeau said so being another recent example.

Imagine a future where you can't buy a car because it "didn't meet climate goals" or you couldn't buy lunch because the resturant you went to had a "low ESG rating" and was blacklisted by it's payment processor. We are quickly heading there.

Or even you personally can't buy food because you reached your quarterly meat ration (meat is bad for planet you know, now eat the bug paste).

There's a reason governments want to go cashless by 2030 2035.

If that's too tin foil hat, it can be more mundane. The AAA games industry has been collapsing this last year or two, while popular indie games like Schedule 1 and Palworld are blamed. I could easily see those multi billion dollar companies pulling some strings to try and prevent another Palworld (slavery) or Schedule 1 (drugs) from happening again.

Drooling retards will go "hurr its just coomer slop, why i care?" without realizing the problem

China also a literal debanking method by banning people's WeChat accounts, since WeChat is now the most common way to make purchases.

The lawsuits against Palworld are one thing, but I can see AAA game companies get even more desperate by hiring someone to pull a KyoAni arson attack on an indie gaming studio, or even go all the way and pull a 9/11 by convincing airline pilots (presumably Indian, Pakistani, or South Korean ones), to kamikaze a loaded jet airliner into an indie gaming studio.
