#paymentprocessor — Public Fediverse posts

Credit card companies in Canada (and elsewhere) have been imposing draconian restrictions on the use of their payment networks for anything even slightly racy -- digital Puritanism, enforced by a handful of companies that have a combined monopoly stranglehold on payment systems.

Risque video content? Racy text? Erotic drawings? All forbidden to one degree or another, by un-elected moral crusaders that you simply can't choose to not use. If you're a content creator depending on payments / subscriptions, you can be demonitized instantly, with no explanation and no recourse, at any moment. Goodbye, income!

This petition isn't perfect - it's written solely from the point of view of someone concerned with the effects on the videogame market, not any other type of content creator - but it's a start. If you're in Canada and want payment processors to not engage in such discriminatory practices, take a look at this (brief) petition and consider signing it.
