Please, don't post articles "this/that store ban nsfw content": it's payment system (like Visa/MasterCard) that want to regulate/take control of censorship above your government. (lemmy.ca)

More than a request, I think it's a deserving clarification. We're getting mob outrage against Valve, Itch.io etc... while it's just Visa/MasterCard/Paypal laughing on everyone back.

Thanks reading my TEDx

People always say crypto has no value and is a scam but i don't see how a stablecoin like usdc isn't a much simpler solution vs trying to break the duopoly

What happens when anti-porn organisations like Collective Shout go after the currency exchanges?

You don't need exchanges.

Presumably they do what Visa/Mastercard should have done, and tell them to shove it. It’s just a bunch of uppity idiots from Australia, no one HAS to listen to them…

Crypto markets also need payment processors if people are going to buy and sell crypto.

What exactly would they demand from them? A cryptocurrency exchange is not like a credit card company which has a direct relationship with every customer and vendor and is in direct control of transactions, instead they just handle buying and selling of decentralized currencies which are transacted permissionlessly on their own networks.

It's a lot more like cash, especially the ones designed for privacy.

That said, stablecoins might also be a target, since they have freeze functions, I could see that becoming a problem.
