Petition against payment processors who forced Steam games ban roars past 140,000 signatures

Remember, that's not enough. Call these demon companies yourself and your representative.

Dude am I the only one who is glad this s*** is off steam? I grew up on Steam back when it only had Half Life on it, and it makes me sad that they devolved into literally Rape Games and other demented content. Are we all just going to pretend this isn't or wasn't an issue? The last thing our society needs is "more porn". This is the type of s**** we should be fighting against and I say that as a man who on a dark and stormy night pulls up some inappropriate content.
As if there are not enough places to get porn on the internet.
wrote last edited by [email protected]The problem isn't what the content was, the problem is letting a payment processor dictate what is and is not acceptable even when legal
Today it's "rape content" tomorrow, it's vanilla porn, then the day after it's LGBTQ+ affirmative content

Much like the adult section of the movie rental place, or the romance section at the book store, or the sex toy section at Walmart, you are free to not browse the content you are uninterested in.

ACLU is legit enough for me to believe this petition is worth signing.

Itch.io already went and hid all adult content afaik, so we are already past the first stage even.

Seems like this petition is getting faster traction.
Someone write down “Stop Killing Porn Games” for the future.

This is not about porn. Period. Its about censorship and free speech. SMH.

It's just a change.org petition though, in the end it doesn't have much power to it. Even if it gets to 1mil. signatures, Mastercard and Visa could just go "Alright, use another payment processor then"

wrote last edited by [email protected]We consumer activists don't want to have choice taken away by a comparatively small group who seems to be misrepresenting the issue and dictating the choices of consumers. The activism itself is not the problem.

change.org is worthless call the CC companies directly
Why not both?

100% a change.org petition makes news which is useful but won't otherwise do anything. What you need to do to back that up is cost Visa/Mastercard money, and the way to do that is to call them and tell their ethics teams that what they're doing is deeply wrong.

People are doing that too, there was just an article posted a bit ago talking about that.
Causing multi hour waits with the goal of hurting them by delaying actual customers getting help
