Japanese government to investigate payment processors after withholding revenue from adult games on Steam
Yamada Taro, a member of the Japanese National Diet has announced his intent to investigate payment processors who are refusing to provide service to Japanese artists. For years…
Please let this be the ball rolling on ALL payment processors that have been targeting Japanese media.
The corrupt Karens who run the mastercard/visa duopoly need breaking up.
And now there is a government in the US who would more than likely be willing to help in that regard. After all, they went after Trump and his people too, so you can imagine there would be no love lost in helping the Japanese with this.
Plus Trump has a surprisingly good relationship with the Japanese government and business community in general.
Abe did a lot of good work on the international diplomacy side of things, there's still a ton of residual goodwill from his tenure.
They aren't Karens, they are malicious elite actors forcing ideologies globally.
Actually it's a quadropoly considering it's Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
In regards to breaking up credit card networks, the solution is to make the whole thing decentralized by raiding the big 4 for treason and nationalizing the networks into a single open interbank network that anyone can join, while also allowing customers to hop between card providers such as banks if one starts screwing with them.
Discover's gonna be bought out soon, I think.
"Karens" is not being used in the correct context here.
Not just Japanese media, either.
When bank, phone, Internet, social media companies, etc, decide they will force their politics on you, there is a huge problem for nations.
We've told leftists repeatedly that just because corporations oppress free speech instead of the government doesn't make it a good thing, but these cunts didn't care because corporations suppressed the free speech of the people they hate.
Is this how we get World War 3? Because it sure feels like it.
Oh shit. YES, about fucking time the government does something good.
