No doubt the threat of a Stripe ban on Kickstarter is predicated on the expected ban on Stripe by MasterCard and or Visa.
In other words, online censorship is being controlled by two credit card companies.
We really need more payment processors, preferably not based in the USA.
We need more of every company that is not American. There are no global companies just American ones that operate in other countries. And yes I know there are other countries that have global companies but if they operate in America that still poses a risk. As if they continue to want to they may have to do what American Government wants like MS has admitted to.
We have that, it’s called crypto and everyone seems to hate it.
Lol nobody gonna want to use an extremely volatile currency as payment processor. Rest of the world just needs to implement system similar to PIX from brazil.
Crypto isnt a payment processor, and it has no backing as a currency except current social agreement (yes thats most money but issued currencies are backed by central authorities) and it basically exists for ponzi schemes. Its so insanely volatile that its not for every day people.
That’s not even mentioning that its sole value is to convert back into regular backed currency.
That is the funny thing use crypto but its only value is to convert to real currency if you couldn’t do that no one would use it.
Yah no, it has to be more stable I don’t want to one minute be paid a fair price and the next have nothing or have paid 2x what the thing was worth.
We’re due for a second sexual revolution.
I’m just picturing a riot but instead of axes and pitchforks they are holding body pillows and fleshlights
We desperately need sovereign digital currency like the digital euro project
Good luck using those digital euros if you criticize Israel. Or try to use them to buy a unapproved VPN service. Or any thing now or in the future deemed inappropriate.
Yeah and I’m sure Visa and MasterCard will be very accommodating
As if sex workers were treated fairly in the EU…
This is more about a country not being beholden to corporate interests for their laws
Dumbasses, should have told stripe to pound sand like Master card and visa. This platform is going to die in this econ if they pull that.
Mastercard and visa are likely who made stripe do this
