The End of the Privac
The European Union is going against online privacy by trying to pass a bill in october where AI will monitor all your texts before sending them! Even encrypted ones! If you don’t have the time to read it fully at least read the basic explanation and the what to do part. Our privacy depends on it!
Also please reblog this or post the link to your own blog to make it reach as many as possible!
I hate to go through this all over again. Last night, Itch.io, one of the most popular platforms for hosting queer and adult independent media, went through a large-scale crackdown on adult content.
This was primarily aimed at games, but novels and comics were hit in the process. Most adult content has been de-listed from the site's search, but some creators were banned without warning, and any funds they have not been paid are currently being withheld by Itch.io.
This crackdown was done, as it always is, because of payment processors like Mastercard and Visa threatening to pull their services.
The payment processors caved to an influence campaign by Australian extremist anti-pornography group Collective Shout, who have been inundating Visa and Mastercard with calls to force video game platforms to stop hosting adult content - which, of course, includes anything queer.
Collective Shout claim to have sent in 1000 emails to get this result, but there are a WAY more than a thousand of us. We need as many people as possible to make as much noise as we can!
Below the cut are numbers and scripts, all you need to do is follow the step by step guide!

Customer Complaint Dept,
This message is to lodge an official complaint about the ongoing rampant restrictions your company has placed on legal sales made by legitimate businesses.
These restrictions are not only counter to the concept of freedom of speech and expression, but they harm consumers, businesses, and they harm your company’s bottom line.
The following actions are absolutely necessary to protect the freedoms of your client base and the sustainability of legitimate business practices:
1. Remove from your Terms of Service any mention barring the use of your service for sale and purchase of legal products.
2. Contact Steam (Valve), Itch.io, and any other company you have previously put pressure on to retract your content restrictions.
Put in place protections to prevent such restrictions from being put in place in the future without ample warning and time to contest them.
If these changes aren't made then I, along with many others will be forced to seek other options for processing payments.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Customer

Americans - contact your representatives about payment processors acting as censors! You can find their contact information on 5calls.org.

Hello Representative/Senator [LAST NAME],
-or-
Hello office of Representative/Senator [LAST NAME],
My name is [YOUR FIRST NAME/SCREEN NAME] and I am one of your constituents.
I am calling today to express my concerns with technological censorship. Legal and legitimate adult entertainment is being banned in this country. These bans are not by legislators, but by payment processors like Mastercard and Visa.
Mastercard and Visa are improperly creating legislation online through their user and merchant policies. They are banning creator and user access to content that is legal and legitimate. They are inciting fear and panic to encourage censorship.
Please take a stand against this impermissible censorship. This is a direct attack on an adult's right to legal content. No one but the legislative branch should be allowed to create legislation.
Please support the Federal Trade Commission in their stand against technological censorship to protect the first amendment.
Thank you for taking the time to listen today.

HELLOOOO there and welcome to the albino bitch polls!
Contrary to the name, these polls aren't actually referring to characters with specifically albinism. Moreso it refers to characters with very light features, such as pale colored/white hair and/or eyelashes. Two examples are listed in the nomination form!
Submit your guys here! Want to nominate Chiikawa? Sure that counts! Want to nominate Sans the skeleton? Sure get him in here too! Want to nominate Killua from HxH? That's the profile picture baby!
I have no clue how much spread this'll get so no time limit on nomination submissions yet. I'll wait until there's at least a few before putting a limit on anything. Happy nominations!
Contrary to the name, the character doesn't actually have to have albinism. I just couldn't really think of a name to describe the type of c
