Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9713299" data-attributes="member: 18">Write to your local politician expressing your dismay that unaccountable, uncontrollable, international payment processing companies are deciding morality and harming LGBTQ+ people and others, and hurting perfectly legal content, and further, are clearly vulnerable to political manipulation from other countries, and suggest that they need to be regulated/restricted, I would say.I mean, unless you local politician thinks that's cool, but even then you might be able to craft a letter than hits an angle that they don't like, because almost everyone, right and left, can find something to hate about this. It's certainly potentially threatening to everyone, because effectively we've become completely reliant on these companies, and they can now choose whether we can buy things or not, and that's only going to get worse until they get regulated. Right now that's being turned against LGBTQ+ people, anyone who creates anything even sexuality-adjacent, and so on, but it'll be turned against others.Also, I don't have the addresses, but write directly to the people in charge of those companies, Visa, Mastercard, etc. - that's what these freaks did. Hell, if you look into it, you may be able to take their addresses they used! And say that it's not okay for them to hurt LGBTQ+ people and perfectly legal businesses just because someone in another country doesn't like them.I suspect the whole thing will come to a head in the next decade anyway, and either will see heavy regulation on payment processors and those who use them or push people toward crypto (I hope not the latter).</blockquote>
