So artists might be able to make money again

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/08...

Looks like it just got a lot harder for payment platforms to deny service to furry artists. Which is kewl. And before anyone says, "but mah paypal still suck". This new regulation doesn't go into effect for 180 days. To which I'm like, ok, why? lol like why wait 6 months? Eh, at least it's happening I guess.

Paypal isn't even a real bank so I think they can just steal your money if they feel like it.

technically but here's the thing, from what I've read, platforms like PP only do censoring because companies like mastercard are pressuring them to. A LOT of platforms and web sites have been pressured by the banks to censor and that might be coming to an end. Which would be amazing for the fandom.

They've been known to steal money and I've had it happen in the past unrelated to any credit cards. Money on PayPal is gambling with an American company pretending to be a bank.

I completely agree. There's also the bit in paypal's TOS that says they are allowed to look at all your banking statements if you link a bank account to your paypal. They are scum for sure. I'm just hoping this new executive order forces them to behave a little more. We'll find out this winter holiday season I suppose.

They were forced to acquire a banking licence many years ago.

Yee, saw that. It is really aimed at political topics though... Whether NSFW artwork will gain anythingnfrom this remains to be seen. It hinges on whether that's "lawfull" enough.
Furthermore, a right gained through an executive order are tricky to enforce as an individual if it's not a law yet... (and Trump has trouble putting most of his EOs into law).

I mean the banks might just ignore the law straight up. I remember there being an actual US bill that would make the executive order an actual law. I'll try to find it and update my journal next time I log on.
