Why do you think payment processors are restricting their policy to exclude pornographic content?
-
It's all in in black and white in Project 2025.
Ban porn > Categorize LGBT as Porn > LGBT is crime > LGBT in prison
Religious zealots and bigots were given the reigns. This is what we get.
Regarding payment processing specifically, they are under direct pressure from religious lobbyists and are folding like a cheap suit.
A certain section of society watched The Handmaid's Tale (they wouldn't read it because books are bad) and thought: "yes please, let's have some of that thank you very much" this is the thin end of the wedge.

I'm confused about that explanation because the same is happening outside the US, too, and started before the current US presidency.
Well, project 2025 was released a few years ago, and is not directly related to the current presidential administration. And to add onto that, the fascist right across the world have been reading from the same playbook for a while, so it's perfectly understandable to assume that non-american fascists are using a similar playbook to gain control of their respective countries.

They're probably not doing it just because, my guess is that it's to appeal to the fasci- I mean- conservative government heading the US right now. And yes, I am aware that they are probably going to restrict more stuff as time goes on if they're unimpeded. I'm just looking for a solid motive
Visa and Mastercard have been pushing against legal but morally questionable stuff for the last 15 or so years to my knowledge.
It will continue regardless of which administration is in power.

Control. Plan and simple.
Note how this is happening along the government push too...
They are colluding.
-
They're being lobbied to do it by religious organizations who have identified them as a weak point in freedom of speech. See, for example, mortality in media, exodus cry
Both those claim to be against sex trafficking, I wonder how many of their board members have flown to the Epstein island?

I just assume every conservative politician is a pedophile. They protect and defend them, so they're already as low as they can go.

Partly it's because of way more chargebacks.
Woman finds a strange entry in the credit card bill, husband insist it must be a scam.
That's the dumbest incel shit I've ever heard you fucking muppet.

You're right except the zealots and bigots are the ones being propagandized to support the legislation. The reason for it has always been for expanded prison labor. That's where America's slavery thrives. Don't play into the culture war while corporations and the owning class take everything from us.

Nah, they want this legislation.

Soon porn and masturbation will be crimes.
Punishable by life sentences to slavery.

Trying to see what they can get away with. Can I control other things too? I was allowd to dictate how people spend their money here, so why not there?

No not just fascism but oligarchy too
Olism?
Faciarchy?Farciarchy

This has been happening quietly for a long time. It exploded now because it crept into new segments like Steam. That is mostly driven by a few conservative groups applying pressure to credit card processors.
You won't find porn sites with certain content; in particular, blood or scat play. Now, neither one is to my personal liking, but I don't think it should be blocked as long as everyone involved consents. You might find amateur videos of it, but never anything from a professional studio. That is quite simply because credit card processors forbid it.
(My source is one of the interviews that Kink.com does before a scene, which they always leave in the edit they post to their pay site. I'd have to search a lot to find the specific one. Suffice it to say that one of the models mentioned "no scat" as a hard limit, and the director said that their payment processor wouldn't allow it, anyway.)
It's also impossible to remake the old Taboo series as is. Faux-incest scenes go out of their way to mention they're all a step family (seriously, how many step children does Cory Chase have? This doesn't seem physically possible.) This is all credit card industry pressure, as well, and while I wish the genre wasn't as prevalent as it is, the setup dialog gets really silly and contorted because of this restriction.

Project 2025. They literally bragged about the shit they wanted to do while claiming they had nothing to do with it.
It baffles me that people are surprised this is happening, but a large majority of the voting population either doesn't care or are ok with this.
Let’s all start sending pictures of our sweaty ass cracks and balls to the senators behind this.

wrote last edited by [email protected]If you’ve actually been paying attention you’d see that basically the only government in the world that is NOT taking part in all this censorship and mass surveillance is the very government you’re blaming for this.
If anything, the only hope to stop these payment processors from going even more authoritarian is the current US government. Currently all of the “progressive” and “liberal” governments worldwide are all aboard the censorship and control train. The US is the outlier.
I’m against censorship in all forms, but geez the games that have been removed….. their creators and the people that buy and enjoy those games are 99.9% sure to be rock spiders. If a game breaks the law then ban it and prosecute, but if not then leave them alone no matter how deprave and sick they are.

Which side of the political spectrum are currently forcing age verification all over the internet, especially on porn sites - conservatives or “progressives”? Hint: it’s not who you’re saying it is.
You guys need to move on from the project 2025 rubbish - no one bought it before the election, and still banging on about it only harms the democrats already in-the-toilet credibility.
In the USA Porn isn’t banned, being gay isn’t “classified as porn” (whatever that means, it makes no sense). Still haven’t seen those concentration and death camps you’ve been yapping about for years either
The “progressive left” are the ones on their way to criminalising porn. Have a look at what’s going on in the UK under their increasingly far left government for a glimpse at what the party you support wants.

If you read Project 2025 you would find that literally on Page 1 they equate pornography with "the spread of transgenderism and drag queens" and claim that all of the above are "invading their school libraries" so all further references to combating "pornography" in the text also means transgender people.
You can read it for yourself here and I strongly advise you to do so to stay informed. The enemy has laid bare every single one of their tactics and remaining ignorant to it is irresponsible.
You’re intentionally misrepresenting what it says, what a surprise.
That sentence is in reference to the “pornographic” transgender-advocate book in schools that have extremely graphic pictures and descriptions about things like “sucking girl dick” and so on. It’s not equating pornography with transgenderism at all.

A certain section of society watched The Handmaid's Tale (they wouldn't read it because books are bad) and thought: "yes please, let's have some of that thank you very much" this is the thin end of the wedge.
Which section is that, the one that wants to take away women’s rights by letting males into their spaces, and who constantly award women of the year awards and women’s representative spots to males?
