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.

Working today but please keep up the calls, please. Stress that you're upset you can't buy certain products with your card because the merchant isn't allowed to take the card. If the company says, "ask your bank" tell them you already did or call your bank and make THEM call.
I’ve heard you can literally, physically see the strain on these call center workers between shifts while they’re out and about. Cannot stress enough that this call campaign is way more effective than some people realize. Please be kind when you call. (3)

KOSA will obliterate trans people's ability to have spaces and even communicate online. It MUST be stopped.
Tell your lawmakers to oppose the Kids Online Safety Act- there are better ways to protect kids online without throwing other vulnerable people under the bus.

We are actually doing something. DON'T STOP CALLING.
Morale at paypros call centers is in the toilet right now. It’s not just normal Black Friday stress, they’re being pounded. Corporate is pressuring bosses to end the paypros call campaigns. Source familiar w/ internals at MC stressed that folks should stand their ground but be kind to agents (1)

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

They even block perfectly legal transactions of weed purchases in places where it's been legalized. Doesn't have to be about the porn right away, you can bring it up later, because these restrictions are on anything evangelists don't want you buying.
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

looking at the bills and talking to folks, these are the most actively threatening among this batch that will be present during Dec 2's hearing

House KOSA's audit policy is the one aspect im a little shaky on and havent found any more authoritative writing on, but felt should still be mentioned

Please keep putting pressure on PayPal. Stories like this are becoming more and more common. Artists don’t deserve to lose their source of income over payment processors being puritanical/anti-small business.
I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR.

Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

This whole weekend from the 27th to monday the 1st needs to have Visa and Mastercard SWAMPED

We need to send the message that we will fuck with their bottom dollar unless they quit targetting adult content creators and sex workers!
