Dude SWIFT has more financial power and sway than visa and mastercard. They're the folks who manage the network that allows bank transfers to happen nigh instantaneously. So if they block you, you are fucked.

The violent video games though, those are the latest satanic panic I've been aware of thanks to that idiot Jack Thompson

I'm not even sure those titles are legal everywhere. Allowing digital purchase of illegal products can very well be criminal for the payment processor in certain regions. I mean just look at those titles. "Incest daughter - BDSM".

This is why cryptocurrencies were created. [getmonero.org](https://www.getmonero.org/)

G*mers and GabeN throwing a shit fit right now. GabeN going to be more Aston Martins to crash.

The EU is investigating a digital euro, but you won’t be pleased to learn that one of the key reasons is to *increase* tracking and compliance. Meaning their stated goal is to be able to restrict how the currency is used, by who, when, and on what. The EU is the very last organisation to ever create and maintain an anonymous and agnostic currency.

Which is why the retailer, Steam, already restricts certain regions from buying titles if they are deemed illegal in that region. Again, it is not the authority of the payment processors to dictate what people can and cannot purchase. Period. No excuses or justifications will be accepted.

Drawn and CSAM don't go together

uncovering, documenting, and analyzing them is important. even compiling other's work on a blog is useful

We really also need payment neutrality. I don't like the content that's being removed, but I really don't like that visa gets to decide that websites are allowed to show, sell, and everything else. I don't give half a damn if someone decides to swipe their card at the heroin and machine gun store, visa shouldn't be the one deciding that they can't make that transaction

This has (((THE JEWS))) energy. “The right” doesn’t control your access to big booty mommy incest porn. PayPal is doing this because it looks bad when op-eds are published showing their network is used to purchase questionable content. It’s the reason Visa and Mastercard shut down PornHub. This is why we need to foster the growth and adoption of cryptocurrencies like monero. The current payment providers are too big for their britches. They know customers don’t have any other choice.

I think you should be more concerned about easily accessible things like hentai sites, weirdos, elsagate, etc. I don't know if there are any free hentai games on Steam (and if there are, they shouldn't be free), but children certainly shouldn't have free access to Steam (or even the internet in general), and if some parents kids can just spend their parents money on hentai, then maybe those parents should rethink their parenting methods and pay more attention to their kids, imho.

[getmonero.org](https://www.getmonero.org/) 1 minute average confirmation time, private by default. Eth average confirmation time is 6 seconds and right now it's doing 16 transactions per second, not counting L2s. Blockchains are way more secure than a centralized database controlled by a financial institution that can freeze or deny you the right to use your money or fat-finger your life savings away with no recourse.

either patreon or itch-io. But it does depend on the creator. You’ll find many Japanese games on dl-site for example.

You are still refusing to acknowledge that regional legislation can easily prohibit purchases from sources that facilitate illegal products. I have never heard of a case where payment processors refuse to authorize payment of a legal product because they don't like the product. Do you comprehend how big of a problem it is if a payment processor can't authorize payments to steam? That's not something they do for the fun of it. It's because there are legal hurdles. Everyday they can't authorize payments is lost revenue, and risk of losing customers. I'm sorry, but you will just have to source your incest porn games from somewhere else.

JAST, Kagura, DlSite, Itch, Patreon, and GOG are some vendors. I recommend JAST and Kagura, since they are dedicated to perverse games. DlSite is good if you want to buy Japanese exclusive games, and then pirate the unofficially translated versions.

I didn't know this till I heard a podcast series about this, but the global rulemakes for porn are Visa and Mastercard. They decide what "goes too far" and remove a site from their service if they don't like it, effectively cutting off all revenue streams and killing the site. They did this with porn sites and threatened OnlyFans. There are a bunch of rules they've written for the industry (e.g. fingering an orofice with4 fingers was acceptable, but when the thumb goes in then it becomes "fisting" and this used to be unacceptable), but many rules are unwritten and have to be guessed. [I think this is the podcast series](https://www.ft.com/content/762e4648-06d7-4abd-8d1e-ccefb74b3244) for anyone interested (although I heard this a long time ago and I'm not sure if it was a different series and I'm not going to listen again to confirm).

Completely agree on that. We have set an age and before that, our kids wont have an account in anything. 13 is the absolute minimum we agreed. Cant really control much after that, not would i want to. They should know what and what not to do in most cases by then. I know i did.
