After signing this petition, there's another thing you can do as well if you're living in the US (copy pasted from youtube comment):
"If you want to stick it to the payment processors, you should call your Congressmen and Senators and tell them to support H.R.987 (Fair Access to Banking Act) and the Senate version S401, which would prohibit them from doing this kind of thing.
Already got a decent momentum and it not a partisan issue (even if one party has been personally effected by it a lot more) so it could pass if people push the remaining to supporting it."
"The Fair Access to Banking Act is proposed legislation aimed at preventing financial institutions from denying services to legally compliant individuals and businesses based on factors like political affiliation, religious beliefs, or belonging to a disfavored industry. It seeks to ensure fair access to financial services by requiring institutions to make decisions based on objective, risk-based criteria rather than subjective or discriminatory factors."
I couldn't find an EU equivalent yet.

I don't understand what this petition wants to archive? 
Yes, I am well aware of the shit payment processors and credit card companies are doing.
But this -> "Tell MasterCard, Visa & Activist Groups: Stop Controlling What We Can Watch, Read, or Play"
Tells me nothing what they want to do.
Do they want to write an "angry but stern letter"?
What CollectiveShout did was claiming that the lewd stuff in the accursed games are going against the US law FOSTA-SESTA, which is originaly about sex trafficking. But is so vaguly written, that it can be used against stuff like this.
That's why this petition will archive nothing, because it only targets a middleman here (Visa & co), while they themself are forced because of us-laws.
So what basically happened is that CollectiveShout tapped Visa & co on the shoulder, pointed towards Steam and said “Look, they're violating the law and that makes you an accomplice.”
That's why this:
The payment processors would glady ditch these policies, because they causes them to earn less money. Companies love money. They ore not persons, they don't have morals.

Is one of the only ways to achive something. Go directly against the laws that forces the MasterCard, Visa & Co to act like that.

Because there is nothing the EU can do, this is a problem fabricated by the US and their laws.

I apologize for the cryptic title; I was looking for something attention-grabbing.
As many of you know, Steam recently removed a large number of NSFW games for containing incest and/or rape themes. This wasn't done because it wanted to, but because Valve was pressured by payment processors (Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, etc.) with threats that they would stop providing their services if they didn't do what they were asked to do, which was to add a very vague new rule regarding prohibited content on the platform. It was also recently discovered that this initiative was partly initiated by a group of Karens on Twitter called
Steam isn't the first victim of this; the Japanese community has been receiving repeated blows from payment processors in what can only be described as a repression of freedom of expression, an economic dictatorship by megacorporations with a monopoly.
I don't need to say how serious it is that a group of people impose their moral rules through censorship and prohibiting people from using their money on whatever they want.
They decide what you can and can't buy; no matter how you look at it, it's dystopian.

started a Change.org petition to combat this and raise awareness of what's happening. This isn't about removing games with sexually violent or incestuous content; it's about the violation of consumer rights and manipulation by companies that have a monopoly.Here's the link to the petition.
