As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.

They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.

Only you have the power to kill it.
Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

🧵⬇️
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

One of the major reasons we are here right now is that the white electorate does not reward politicians for making their lives better if that improvement also benefits non-white people.

The GOP (including those who run Mastercard and Visa) has never been the party of small businesses. I think that facade is crumbling at this scale for the first time
always remember the elites don't object to perversion and sex, they use it in advertising all the time. They object to the fact the underclasses have a source of joy and freedom they don't explicitly control and doesn't always result in new consumers and soldiers.
It’s absolutely insane that in America’s late stage capitalism hellscape, where even refrigerators are starting to play ads, payment processors are just like “no porn. That’s where we draw the line.”

They boycotted 381 days.

#BlackSky
The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted from Dec 5, 1955, to Dec 20, 1956.

It ended after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Browder v. Gayle that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional.

So, 381 days. One week should be doable.

As a corollary to this: there are a lot of artists who will black-list you from BUYING art if you have AI slop in your profile. Seeing AI is an instant, immediate red flag for most artists because it's a signal that you do not respect artists (yes, that includes using it "until I can get real art").
Just so you know...
Art directors, Art enjoyers, Art buyers and Artists talk with each other. Nobody wants AI slop, specially when there is real art out there as an alternative. You can totally get blacklisted, not only on the industry, but inside fandoms for defending AI precarization and theft.

If you can, also consider buying some shares in Visa/Mastercard and contacting their investor relations teams, ask why they are pressuring platforms to turn away legal business, affecting your returns.

they may not be actively cancelling transactions, but they ARE getting in the way of people being able to use THEIR MONEY to buy and sell LEGAL content.

stress how this is hurting your opinion of these brands, and making you consider dropping them/ getting a different card

Mastercard is REALLY trying to pass the buck off onto banks (who, granted, ARE part of the problem but its still mostly MC and Visa)

do as Ana says here and tell them your bank told you to contact THEM. easy way to tack on more time in the call

Both Visa and Mastercard are really going to push the idea that "they dont restrict any legal transactions" when you call

you need to call out how paypros restrictions arent on the transaction, but on the way they are pressuring platforms to drop/censor content that they have decided is verboten
