The anti-porn religious lobby just destroyed the livelihoods of thousands of pornographers

Beyond Pornhub, the anti-porn lobby is calling for all credit card companies to stop taking payments from all porn sites. Jessie Sage, sex worker and co-founder of the Peepshow Podcast, and I discussed the effects of this crisis on laborers—a subject she unpacks with sex workers on her newest episode. Jessie told me, “I believe that this will have ripple effects on our industry that extend far beyond Pornhub. Mindgeek [Pornhub’s parent company] is the largest company in the industry, and if Visa/Mastercard is willing to pull its financial services from them, the smaller companies are not far behind.”

OnlyFans founder blames banks for ban on porn

Stokely also said UK-based Metro Bank had closed OnlyFans’ corporate account in 2019 with short notice and highlighted how many sex workers, including OnlyFans creators, were struggling to access basic financial services.

“JPMorgan Chase is particularly aggressive in closing accounts of sex workers or . . . any business that supports sex workers,” he said.

Why is OnlyFans letting financial companies lure it away from porn?

But the decision to remove OnlyFan’s most popular product was not a result of legal pressure, according to the company. The decision was made in order “to comply with the requests of our banking partners and payout providers,” an OnlyFans spokesperson wrote by email.

The change marks a growing trend where financial services firms such as credit card and payment processors effectively decide what content is allowed or prohibited on internet platforms. For creators who depend on internet platforms for their income, especially adult performers, the sudden change represents a cautionary tale as the gatekeepers of the creator economy take shape.

There's the reason. Anti-porn/religious groups will lobby payment providers and bans to stop payments being made to adult content creators. Is there problematic adult content on Steam? For sure. However, there is also problematic political content on Steam which seems not affect banks/payment providers interest.

We all should care cause adult content is the first to get censored. Then the censor bar will move to include other topics and more topics.

I thought there was an already a free trade deal called CUSMA?

So it’s place I can go to nuke the whales?

Naked Lunch. Both you and the dog will be confused at what the fuck just happened.

This hard drive is so big, that astronomers thought it was a planet.

Gotta be a Tricky Dick.

This hard drive is so big when it moves, the Richter scale picks it up.

Psh, amateurs.

You gotta send multiple dick pics.

When I really like someone, I let them see my big dick.

She be tuing on my lips till my organ blows.

Only on Lemmy, is one of the options "I use Arch".

There's the grift.

It may have started with Russia however once it hit a tipping point. Just gotta like it run free.

It's the same reason why the world is leting Israel commit genocide, or not get involved in the Yemen Civil War, or ongoing genocide in Maynamer, or the dozens of current active war zones.

The world simply doesn't care. The wold only cares when the global economy is being threatened.

That's not Epstein list. It's just book with a bunch of contacts. Some Epstein met, some Epstein wanted to meet.

As per Snopes:

Because according to Mr. Rodriguez’s statement in the affidavit, the book was compiled by employees of Mr. Epstein, not by Mr. Epstein himself. Those contacted for this article acknowledged having met Ghislaine Maxwell, Mr. Epstein’s former girlfriend and “lady of the house,” and posited perhaps that was how their names ended up in the book. (It is unclear from the affidavit whether Ms. Maxwell is one of the “employees.” Ms. Buck said that she had met Ms. Maxwell at a boutique opening but that “she never phoned me.”)

The Integillience did a deep dive on the contacts in the book.

I mean Hitler did kill Hitler.

Nothing would be funnier than Bongino went full hard conspiracy theorist on Epstein; completely thinking Nazi Blondi is holding back information. Let them all infight on this.

The more they are spending time infighting, the better it's for all of us.

They're called Indians for a reason. So we're going to deport them to ..........throws a dart at a map the Indian Ocean.

I like to think this meeting could’ve been a fist fight.

2 weeks Trumpy time is either very short or never happens.

Sweet, fucking baby Jesus. This is truly the dumbest timeline.
