that's a nice thought, but a thought is all it is. "mr mastercard, tear this wall down!"

Kickstarter is rolling back its adult content rules. [Archive]
According to the post it appears they are directly blaming Stripe for the changes, who have been banning projects part way through funding (or even after full funding).
Here is some context about the rule changes previously posted by Kotaku. [Archive]
Edit - I somehow managed to goof-post this twice. Whoops.

People who are dismissing this don't understand that this is the start of a process, a process that takes time to fully complete. If the payment processors don't comply with the FTC Chairman's request here, the FTC can then sue them for failing to do so, IIRC. Basically guys, we have to be patient, because this shit can take a while to play out.

I appreciate the copium, but the difference between "nothing" and "something that takes forever" is hard to tell. So far, it looks like a lot of nothing.

Yes. Democrats will abuse this if you don't do what they want, and Republicans just don't care if it happens because "muh Free market" and then finally give a shit when it finally happens to them, but only go as far as helping themselves and not anyone else.

The government needs to drag these fucking parasites before Congress, rip away whatever immunity lets them exclude us from the financial system consequence-free, and force them at gunpoint to operate as the public utility they actually are, legally banned from cutting off anyone who isn't breaking US law. If that won't happen, then it's time to bring back public lynchings. Or just free our boy Luigi.

These parasites felt confident enough to debank the Trump family and the first thing the Biden admin did when they got in was kill the Fair Access rules that were supposed to go into play April 2020. Trump hasn't even tried to reinstate them.
We'll never see these types punished and our only real hope is that either they die in a tragic caviar poisoning accident or technology marches on and bypasses the cartel somehow.

Visa and Mastercard will finally face some competition. Europe is building its own payment system that will launch in late 2026, when about 130 million people in 13 countries will be able to use it.
It integrates the Wero app with national services like Bizum in Spain, Bancomat in Italy, MB Way in Portugal, and Vipps and MobilePay in the Nordic countries.
The system transfers money instantly from one bank account to another using Europe’s fast payment network, so people can keep using their usual apps while a central link simplifies cross-border payments.
It starts with person-to-person payments in late 2026 and adds online and in-store payments in 2027. They want to cut costs and keep money and data inside Europe, and rely less on foreign card companies like Visa and Mastercard.
This will not replace Visa or Mastercard completely, as those cards will remain useful for travel and some shops, but it is a good alternative for Europeans to the usual payment processors.

What's all this about? Is Wero set to challenge Visa/Mastercard's total stranglehold on the market, or are they going to end up involved in the same non-competing censorious system? (twitter link)

I wouldn't trust an EU run alternative to be any better than Visa/MC, it would just give the EU direct control, which is what they really want. The Eurocucks have been seething since they're basically side characters on the world stage since WW2, especially in the Information age where they've been completely left behind. Even India has more influence than they do.

On the european market, internally? Sure. Internationally? Probably not or way in the future. But it is the correct move, much like Mir was in russia. Not depending on foreign corpos for payment infrastructure is common sense that more and more countries have been finally awakening to.

A challenger is good, but it seems just Europe exclusive. Better than nothing, but not much change.

For fairness's sake, it's not quite completely impossible. Boosty* evidently works sometimes, as there are thousands of people using it (it's still a massive piece of shit); there's at least one competitior in the face of lava.top* (never seen anyone use it, didn't test it - requires goy shuffle and self-gigadoxxxxing, fuck that); good ol' PayPal via 720 across-the-country-border trickscoping (that is, getting a SWIFT/SEPA-enabled foreign bank account AND a trusted middleman), and crypto (inconvenient and lossy to turn into fiat).
*Both are completely impossible to set up without an established (think at least a 6-month old, ACTIVE account with Boosty) social media presence. Lava.top requires a goddamn Behance/dribbble/FB/Google account to even register.
