Yes. But some countries includes the United States, and US states, and others. There is an established relation between the US government and payment processors to shut down activity the government doesn’t like but either can’t or hasn’t make illegal.

Cash. Buy things in person. Use bitcoin. Use AMEX. Save money.
So many options besides using Visa or Mastercard.

Remember when Paypal said they would straight up steal your money if they found social media posts they don’t like. Even if it’s on a platform they have nothing to do with?
This proof that the world needs more crypto.

I’ll tell you why. Government uses soft threats to encourage private business to censor things. I know some of you guys don’t like this side of this parallel story, but do you remember when the FBI was marking posts for twitter to take down as “misinformation” that then was shown to not be misinformation, but rather just inconvenient for the current presidency in charge.
The legal code in the US is so large and companies engage in so much activity that it is impossible to run a 100% legal business. Companies instead run by an “ask forgiveness later” model. It’s the only one that can actually work in the US. But to be able to run that model you need the good graces of the government. So when it says jump companies do it.
There was a time when you could be banned off of twitter for saying factual things the FBI didn’t like. And it’s not like the FBI didn’t know better. We didn’t need independent verification of the Hunter Biden emails because we had confirmed cryptographic signatures on all of the emails. Journalists get a pass because they are technologically illiterate, but the FBI and Twitter sure didn’t.
What’s crazy about this is that the supreme court ruled against this use of third parties. But the practice wasn’t new when it hit social media because it’s been a long practice with payment processors. So my question when that ruling came out was “what about the existing similar practice in payment processors.” Apparently the government and processors are still in cahoots in violation of that ruling. That relationship was actually started in an effort to crack down on bestiality porn, which is never the less legal in the US.
So the question is do you like to government directing third parties to censor?

Don’t you know you need self value from being a slave. Chase paper like a good gerbil like everyone else. Our slave morality tells us you are not a good person like us unless you do.

Isn’t it odd that researchers who should be pros at caring about and finding the most correct metrics for every topic are obsessed with a proxy for quality that is just about the most disjoint possible? It should be embarrassing.

Only thing missing is the asshole next door lying and saying he has a nerf nuke just to convince other people to beat him up because the asshole is to chicken shit. Oh, and also they have everyone else in the neighborhood blackmailed so they have to participate, ala Epstein.
