The group responsible is “Collective Shout”, the same org has targeted Steam before.

There are calls on social media now to contact Mastercard, Visa and co. and file complaints.

      Payment processors should not get to police what kind of legal transactions people use their services for. No matter how much you dislike the particular product.

        As we can see, they already have that kind of control, and what’s worse is that it’s not limited to just one country.

        Maybe the OP has a point, and it’ll take them fucking with something else than “just” hobbies to get regulated.

        While i agree the notion its not that black and white.

        Payment processors are companies. Where you would draw the line when company can and cant decite how they want to manage their product? In the end its their decition.

          We already do it for utilities. A financial company should not be deciding what its users are allowed to spend their own money on except within the confines of law.

      Assuming we’re being facetious here, 100% agree.

      Hell, if extwitter gets banned, it’d be hilarious because then there would probably be laws changed to ensure only the government can select what gets banned. Though, not so hilarious in the current state of the world.
