Just my two cents on recent developments.

The core problems with payment processors like credit cards, banks, st*ipe and p*ypal not allowing people to use them to buy or sell things which they have labeled as NSFW are:

Their definitions of NSFW includes things which are legal in many countries.

Payment processors, which are private businesses that facilitate the exchange of money, are restricting people from buying or selling legal things.

Almost all transactions go through some kind of payment processor, unless it is an in-person exchange of physical currency. You can't mail cash. Checks have to be processed by a bank. So anything you want to buy where you can't directly hand money to someone is controlled by payment processors.

This is especially true for online commerce, which is a huge part of the global economy, and something many people rely on to make a living, especially people in marginalized groups.

There are basically three payment processors in the entire world, and almost every transaction goes through them at some point, and they all have the same base policies.

The payment processors are currently targeting what they label as "NSFW" content, and that's bad, but the truth is that they could arbitrarily target anything they want at any time because they're private businesses.

They could essentially control or destroy any country, industry, or group of people they choose to target by making it functionally impossible for them to perform financial transactions online.

This of course harms individual artists, writers, film and game makers more than anyone else. Big enough companies generally just pay fees to circumvent these policies.

There are currently no functional alternatives as far as I know. Get on a plane and fly to America to physically hand $60 to Toby Fox so he can hand you a USB stick with Undertale II on it because there's a scene where two girls kiss.*

* This would only technically be allowed by the bank's TOS because the bank doesn't know why someone gave Toby Fox that $60 because it was cash and he can lie or decline to tell them. Once the bank does know, that potentially opens a whole other can of worms.

Sorry for the rant, and sorry if there's any inaccuracies, but the whole shape of the problem is just huge and fucked up in ways I feel I rarely see anybody talking about.

I appeal to you all ❤️‍🩹

Hello, my name is Fahed, and I'm from Gaza. Life here is harder than you can imagine, but today I share my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has given us tremendous strength. This is my daughter, Sahar, speaking in the video. She once hoped to become a doctor.

When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.

But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need for your support, we can get out of this great danger. .

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

There is no safe place. Danger surrounds us from all directions. The bombing is violent every moment, every day. Dozens of women and children are dying. Zero health care, pollution everywhere. Outbreaks of disease and famine that ravage our bodies.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

$5 may seem small, but to us it makes a difference. And a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️

Can’t donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know

Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.

With all my love and gratitude,

[rubykgrant]

Dont skip 🔴

I am Falestine, Jad Al-Haq, I am 37 years old, married, and I have a eight-month-old child named Youssef. I gave birth to him during the war during very harsh conditions that no human being can bear. I moved from the hospital immediately after giving birth to the tent in which we were staying after we were displaced to it after the Israeli bulldozers completely bulldozed my house. and my suffering did not start from here. Rather, it began since the beginning of the war, and I am still suffering. I cannot provide enough milk for my baby or diapers. Even medicines and vitamins are not available.

I ask you for your urgent help in disseminating the link to my family and communicating it to people interested and able to help us.  I didn't want to do it, but the tragic situation we are living in is what pushed me to do it.  I feel sad and helpless, after we had everything, we are now homeless on the streets, living in a tent next to a dilapidated public toilet and there is sewage, dirt and waste everywhere, we sleep on it!  We suffer from terrible heat, insects, scorpions, the danger of death, bombs and missiles, in addition to hunger of course, the danger of pollution and terrible diseases, especially the digestive, respiratory and reproductive systems!

.  My father and mother could not bear it any longer. My father had a stroke after losing his home and his place of work, and my mother suffers from chronic diseases and needs treatment.

  Do you have the right to imagine that when you spend your life building for yourself and your children to live a decent life, all of this disappears in the blink of an eye, and now when you reach the age where you should rest, you are forced to start again!!?  But the most important thing now is to try to survive and protect your children from all the factors of death that surround us!  I ask everyone who has humanity or conscience to feel our situation and put themselves in our place.  How can someone who has lived with dignity all his life accept this?  We are slowly dying every day.

Your donation, no matter how small, can have a big impact.  It can provide a meal for my little one, a clean bottle of water, or a moment of safety under these difficult circumstances.  Every donation brings with it a ray of hope, alleviating our suffering and giving us the strength to face a new day.

I ask you to donate and support the steadfastness of the Gazan people, and share this campaign with your friends and families.  Together, we can make a difference and help my family get through this ordeal.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support.

Warm greetings,

Falestine
