Well the credit card companies was formerly jp exclusive. But now its hit the states. And now we're copying the same UK muh child safety act in here too. Now youtube is jumping on the the same doxing verification bandwagon

It wasn't overnight. The payment processors have doing this for years (in AMERICA not just Japan), it's only NOW gotten so much attention because Steam and Itch didn't sugar coat why they were censoring and straight up blamed them. The child safety acts are just the latest attempts by the US government to control the internet, past attempts failed (either through Supreme Court intervention or through threat of being voted out of office) but recent state legislation (which the Supreme Court foolishly or maliciously upheld) has given them a foot in the door and they fully intend to ride the momentum and abuse it as far as they can. Youtube doing this is because these companies WANT to steal your info (either to sell it or to gather as much data on you as possible) and recent legislation from EVERY country has given them the excuse they need to push forward.
This has been building for YEARS and many of us have been calling it out and doing what could be reasonably done EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, but FAR too many people have been content to ignore us the whole time, usually branding us as "degenerates", "gooners", and "porn addicts" solely because we understood that porn was always going to be the entryway tyrants would use to take control.
Maybe if more people had listened to us things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
payment processors wanting rape games off of Steam possibly as a response to some feminists in the outback whining about it is basically completely separate from the idea of making people send in their ID to play counter strike.
this isn't a war for free gooner speech, you've just been politically flashbanged into thinking it is, and as long as you begin your argument with "here's why Interactive Sex - Futanari Incest is imperative for a free internet..." you'll play right into their hands and let the enemy, indeed, argue that it's just pedo gooners who want a free internet.
seriously, just stop batting for Team Goldstein trying to get porn up everywhere and you'll see support against censorship flourish. as it stands people like me who want to stand shoulder to shoulder with you against further occupied-government tyranny instead have to spend time and brainpower going "okay, but after we stop the censorship, you won't immediately go back to praising werewolf gangbangs as the pinnacle of video games, right?"
Here's a fun snapshot of you, the supposed 'redpiller' and 'anti-porn' crusader, recommending games about incest, scat and granny porn.
