Recently, Mastercard, as well as Visa, introduced new policies, restricting them from being used as payment processors for NSFW/adult content. Many websites are reacting by blanket-banning adult content and deleting tons of it, including itch.io, for example.
This is a serious problem. This harms sex workers and adult content creators everywhere, especially those who make a living off of adult content. I am one of these people. I depend on my revenue from Patreon and from my commissions to put food on my table and pay my rent. If payment processors, of all things, are going to be able to decide whether or not I get to live off of this, I am seriously going to have to reconsider this job.
If you have ever enjoyed my content, or the content of any other adult content creator, please sign these petitions, and any other petitions you see on this subject. This is my livelihood. Signing this position will take you two minutes, but it'll mean the world to me.
This is also a fight against corporate entities censoring the media we consume and deciding what we're allowed to read and create. If that sounds like a bad thing to you, please sign the petition. And then share it around, please! We need people talking about this desperately.
