Payment processors should not be allowed to dictate what content they allow to be bought and what not. It’s not their job to police people, let me live ffs
Agreed. If it’s not illegal then it should be allowed.
Not that I approve of this type of content, but corporations should not be selectively enforcing their morals.
So here’s the rub. I agree with you but rules are not universal. They don’t give a shit about the money they’re making now they see the countries whose markets they can’t enter because of various laws and get pissed. So we get held to the most restricted standards that will allow them the most business. It’s bs. Basically since they want to do hypothetical business in like… Vietnam, we have to loose our smut.
Here’s what i think is likely. For one reason or another, they get excessive refund/chargeback requests regarding these types of titles and decided to act as they don’t think it’s profitable.
I don’t think they care what so ever what you buy, as long as it’s profitable for them.
I wish that was the case. It’s mostly just extreme right lobbying groups like Focus on the Family and the Alliance Defending Freedom, the same groups that control the far right, exert colonial control over impoverished African countries, and generally make the world a worse place for everyone. The same groups that manufactured cases to screw up Dobbs, Wedding cake lawsuits, and death penalty laws for LGBTQ citizens of Uganda.
I’m already looking into organizing a secularist group, both lobbying in the style of SKG, both uncovering pseudo-secular organizations rebranding christian moralism as “common sense”.
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.
None of that is relevant to the other comment’s point that these companies should not have that level of authority to dictate what we can or cannot purchase. If it is legal to purchase, then payment processors should not be allowed to deny the purchase. Period.
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.
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.

I think platforms should freely moderate and that payment processors shouldn’t even know the legality

We need to stop these Christians from oppressing us.

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

Do you have proof of this? Capitalism doesn’t know any sort of morality or ideology other than that which allows it to extract the most value
If that was as true as you want it to be, chick fil a would be open on Sunday.

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”.
