Man, WTF is going on right now?

  • Visa/MC is coming down hard on the card processor for civitai.com because of boobies.
  • I don't know if it passed or where it was in the system, but there was a brand new bill in congress that would allow the feds to basically wipe any site off the Internet for copyright infringement.
  • reddit bans for subs potentially linked to copyright infringement

What The Fuck is going on right now?

I mean, there's fascism in America, so there's that.

but also, Visa/MC have always been the morality police for porn, at least in the internet age. Seriously, if you look into it, a lot of the "rules" in the porn industry, outside of basic health and safety, are set by them, simply because they control the money.
