People do NOT realize debanking risks. Still gotta make rent but ALL bills/subs will get bounced to a dead account. What if you forget to transfer your phone plan by the 1st & it gets shut off? Now none of your 2FA work and you have to go in person to get it turned back on. It's devastating

This should make bigger leftist content creators actually take a stand, but they rather do a 20ths short about Trump sucking dick.
We need at this point bombard content creators with the reality that this is happening and they are probably soon to not be safe either.

Spoke to a second source familiar with what’s going on with paypro censorship toward me. It seems I’ve been blacklisted among paypros as a creator, particularly for mommy domme content. This could escalate into debanking, I learned

Debanking for anything short of financial fraud convictions should be impossible. Fucked up beyond words.
So yes, this is a “beginning of the end” thing for me and simple stuff like, for example, having a bank account. Now is a good time to fight this issue and do so very publicly — it’s a matter of financial life or death for me

First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

If your game has been using AI assets in production, remove them, hire artists or voice actors or composers to replace the slop, it's not too late to course correct, just get rid of it before release, excise the slop. And that's the compromise position, because people still might not trust you.

I care that the art I engage with is made by humans, regardless of how "good" the tech may become, that is the underlying contention, that is important to me and cannot be bargained away. I'm sick of hearing about compromise this and middle ground that, do you want to hear my compromise?

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

There are so many rad women who absolutely broke ourselves on this, desperately hoping we could finally make folks understand how bad it was.
And it helped some, but people were then done with us.

People put their careers on the line to try to get enough people out there that their combined voices would maybe, eventually weigh as much as the voice of one man who had been ruining careers for decades.
