… Exactly why I can’t stand that platform. Instead of just leaving that trash off the platform, they’re fighting for it.

Wait, where in the world does that happen?
…don’t tell me that in the US if someone has your banking details they can do literally anything they want, and just empty your account
So what do you do to set up automatic payments or buy something online where chips cannot be read? Do you get a notification to approve the transaction every time? It sounds more like you’re just ignorant as to how open these systems still are to abuse…

Keep an eye out for rocks through your window, pal.

Found the censorship lover. I’m gonna write so much smut with your username now, the real nasty cuckoldry kind then turn it into a twine game and once itch return to normal I am posting it on there.

What Americans tend to refer to as “fraud protection” is charge back policies, where the payment processor acts as Content Police and revert transactions if they hear the vendor was unfair to their customer (and they usually are on the side of the customer).
My EU bank won’t do that even on my credit card, because it’s insane that one would expect a financial institution to be judge, jury, and executioner in the case of a disagreement over legal services rendered.
Americans have to own up to the uncomfortable fact that dependence on these policies is what keeps the big credit cars companies in power, on top of severely driving up consumer prices (unfairly weighted towards the rich of course who get cashbacks thanks to the obscene money Visa makes on their enormous transaction fees) and being incredibly unfair to small vendors who don’t have the means to meaningfully dispute fraudulent chargebacks.
I’m cool with going around the system if it has become corrupt by enforcing censorship. We need a way for CryptoCurrency to become standard.

Or, even worse: At the whims of the president
It would be a convenient way to bypass having to pass legislation, allowing more consolidation of power in the executive branch
Up next for removal: Wolfenstein; because it hurts the Nazis feelings

This is the start. Mastercard and Visa will soon block you from other content like movies and music (if it’s explicit) and books.
They are at the whims of religious extremists.

Yes that’s how it works

Yes. Every purchase I do has two-factor authentication
If I do automatic payment, I need to set it up manually and also set a custom limit of how much is allowed to be pulled. I also typically get a notification every time an automatic transaction is planned to occur

Anyone else having Jack Thompson flashbacks, except worse because it’s actually gaining some traction?

Rule of acquisition #85: Never let the competition know what you’re thinking
In this case I interpret the competition to be the various payment processors that might be willing to serve for additional fees

Two factor how? Some would argue a CVV is a second factor, which is actually used in the US.
(I don’t ask to be combative but to clarify the differences. I would not call a CVV true two factor)

“Regular” SDDs can only be done within 5 business days apparently. Not that I would know, my bank certainly doesn’t offer a magic money back button to their private customers, and as I remember it my contract only allows transaction reversal in case of identity fraud, basically.
As far as I can tell, SDDs are a B2B-oriented tool that can only be initiated in particular circumstances such as a merchant being unable to fulfill an order altogether – i.e. when the legal case for a breach of contract is so unambiguous that it isn’t worth either party’s time to go to court. That’s very different from the American thinking of “my hotel room wasn’t as clean as I like it so I’m going to do a chargeback because that’s my Visa-given right”.
5 days is the period for a no-questions-asked reversal. It’s a consumer right, SDD isn’t just B2B. Banks do in fact offer a “magic money back” button for SDDs.
SDDs are what happens when you for example purchase an item (regular SDD) or a subscription (recurring SDD) online and provide your IBAN to the company providing it. The company then taking funds from your account with nothing but that IBAN is done through SDD. And yes, your bank will let you reverse that within 5 days, no questions asked (precisely because only an IBAN is required).
After 5 days, it’s still possible (eg through MOI) but that’s not guaranteed. I know this stuff because I deal with it professionally on a daily basis.

CVV is printed on the same side as the CC these days. It’s literally as if your CC was 19 numbers long instead of 16. If you still have a card where it’s printed on the back then yeah, it’s sort of a “I have physical access to the card to flip it” factor of authentication.

You can just not look for it rather than wish other people couldn’t enjoy what they like.

…just use USDC or Tether?
Stable to the dollar, no need to alter prices, quick, cheap to send, on multiple chains for more options.
Yeah, so it’ll never happen.

that’s because it’s privacy first… in that case, privacy is really the only reason they offer the option. in this case, it isn’t about privacy. they want a system with stable value that can be transferred quickly from consumer to creator in the creators preferred currency

Just read this comment first:
Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs - feddit.nl
Collective shout seems to have expanded its scope: games like cult classic Fear And Hunger have been removed from Itch.io [http://Itch.io], while horror game VILE: Exhumed has been delisted from Steam just a week after launch.

I’d say it might be even more important now that obscenity laws might make it all illegal in Freedom land.
