MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

WHY?
On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells
games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the
group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal,
and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing
restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell.

Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell.

If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard.

HOW?
BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS
Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are:

1. VISA:

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

Semi Frequent Sonic Facts 💀🎃 @semifreqsonic.bsky.social · 12d

In Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, SpongeBob SquarePants is a handling type character, meaning he has better control over his vehicle.

This is...rather ironic, as the character is infamously known for being unable to drive safely.

This is a great time to remind everyone that you should in fact, still be calling MasterCard, Visa, Stripe, and other payment processors to annoy the shit out of them.

Because I'll tell you right now, that shitheel? Not gonna have to worry about them accepting payment.

Asking home owners permission would "kill" the burglary industry. No more brave twirly mustached people wearing black tuques, black and white striped shirt with a big burlap bag over their shoulders to hold their loot. Is that the world we want to live in?

This magical filmstrip surfed on his flying reel and got up to mischief that broke the 'Silence is Golden' rule during AMC pre-shows. Though his time as mascot has long passed, he can still be found in a few venues, if only as decoration, and was sold as FiGPiNs in 2023.

You can subscribe to PBS for a few dollars a month.

Cancel Disney, Paramount and Amazon.

Vote with your dollar and give to the people and organizations who are still fighting back.

Who are trying to make a difference.

Who aren’t owned by billionaires.

Eric Deggans @edeggans.bsky.social · 23d

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

PSA for all YouTubers: they've been pushing auto AI language dubs onto channels recently, and for many viewers it's on by default and some can't even turn it off at all.
