The latest in the Mastercard crap. Have they been conned or are they just frit of a social justice backlash around the corner if they didn't act? The SJW's have well and truly taught the religious fanatics how to play the game. Libertarians in the middle are about to get the goolies crushed (rather than enjoying the usual type emptying) by a progressive pincer movement from either side.

Yep, MasterCard have clearly fallen hook line & sinker for the nonsense & untruths about the adult industry that religious fundamentalist anti porn brigade & SJW’s are saying and are worried about a backlash from the public and loss of custom as people switch to other card providers

This is what happens when you give Student Gobshite types the right to an opinion instead of just shooting the cunts.

Another anti-porn trope continues to crumble the more it's looked at scientifically (note to Ofcom: You ask people's opinions only when it's opinions - not harm - you're looking to assess)...

I understand that as from today Only Fans will allow only nudity and not explicit material to be broadcast on their platform. Not being a subscriber myself does this mean that this could reduce the earnings of the babes currently using the site. Or can they do private sessions and stay within the rules ?

As so we turn to social media. Craiglist, Backpage, Pornhub, OnlyFans... now twitter. https://www.vice.com/amp/en/article/jg8998/national-center-on-sexual-exploitation-ncose-twitter-lawsuit
Note how they continue to target revenue facilitators. This is the new means to enact and obfuscate a repugnant moral crusade against marginalised people. Hot button topics like Sex Trafficking and Child Abuse are merely the blunt instruments used in the same efforts at control as Ofcom use the more ambigious, less strident, "harm" in this country.

This excellent article from a couple of years back seems more pertinent today than ever. And it got me thinking. It really is by tactit passive acceptance that we fall on this subject...
Remember when the babeshow operators claimed a boarder entanglement with their censors was not something they should be pursuing because "it's not our fight"? Remember when the boss said he had kids, thus he was in favour of certain curtailments - as long as he could continue his business presumably? Remember only very recently when various babes who don't do hardcore on OF stated on twitter they weren't too fussed because that particular threat wasn't going to affect what they were doing? Well this is exactly the side-stepping attitude the author of this article is talking about.
The question becomes how close to home does this shit have to be before individuals stand up and challenge each attempted removal of our freedoms? Every time you agree with a censorship that impacts legal material, or you rationalise that this or that removed could be better for you in the short-term, you enable and embolden the actions of such folk towards their next target. You encourage them and their ilk to go further and challenge the next thing they have decided they don't like around them. Every time something you don't like is wiped from view something you do like, or are invested in, comes one step closer to being under their moralising, self-aggrandising, radar. Somewhere an ego is polished towards more of the same.
You're either a supporter or all free expression and speech or you are against it. There can be no half measures on this topic. No 'for it here but against it here'. You have to defend things that you have a personal dislike for even, because if you don't it could be your thing up next for the chop. These censoring types don't stop; they can never be sated or appeased. They, or someone like them, will always be back for the next oxygenating power trip.
It's time people started realising the slippery puritian, authoritarian pleasuring, wave we're on at the moment as a society and stood up, together, to counter the tide. Otherwise we may well end up waking up one day in a much less tolerant and free society than the one we currently enjoy. The counter publicity to OF's anti-SW proposals pointed the way. It proved a success - at least for now. But we need to keep doing it, and more people need join in, each and every time it happens in any sphere, to any target. The other lot don't quit, so neither can we.

The problem with these people, is that they don't have a healthy, balanced opinion about or approach to sex/porn, it's black and white to them, which is old fashioned at best, a twisted worldview at worst. They have no time for legit sex workers who aren't doing any harm, pay tax and live as normal a life outside of their job as anyone else. In their minds, sex workers are people who they can point a finger at and blame for the erosion of society and they are unwilling to listen to reason. The rallying cry is protect the kids, well the kids wouldn't need protecting if you took the time to keep an eye on their internet/tv habits, added freely available internet filters to your own internet connection, oh and maybe, you know, make sure they are informed of what they should or shouldn't be looking at online.
You need look no further than America to see just how bad things can get when a minority opinion supersedes the majority or common fucking sense. Texas has just made it very clear that woman have no rights over their own body, by enacting disgusting anti abortion laws. Others will try to follow suit and use the situation to their advantage, then before you know it, America has half the country blocking abortions and treats those that mistakenly get pregnant the same as those that suffer domestic violence, incest and rape, it's sickening.
We all know that there needs to be rules, society would crumble further than it already has if everyone could do or say whatever they want, but balance is key. If you want to clean up the internet, stick to going after those that post and share things that cause genuine harm, things that are actually illegal, you know, like when people incite hate, encourage violence, or use their platform to spread misinformation. Dangerous stuff.
Anyway, that's too many words posted in one go for me, I'm off to lay down for a bit. Oh and of course, this is just my opinion, take it or leave it

I dont really understand it but do u think with all these visa or mastercard creditcard changes the babe channels will close online to. Like i watch them on line and I cant see how they can stop underage people watching them if they are live online. Will this site be closing cause of the mastercard thing? I cant watch them all on tv
