@ilumium https://nichegamer.com/dlsite-temporarily-blocks-major-western-payment-processors/ Hey Jan, I don't know if you are the best person for this but the EDRi (or free expression folks) might be interested in this dreadful attack on free expression.
Everyone has a right to artistic sexual expression. In fact, you might not know this but Article 19 / 21 of the Japanese Constitution contains a right to free expression. Companies like this should not be imposing their moral whims on people.

@olives Thanks for the forward, this does sound concerning and I remember having seen similar stories where payment processors exercised undue influence over others' free expression. This Japanese case is outside EDRi's (European) mission scope unfortunately but I could imagine global free expression orgs like @article19 @eff to be interested as well.
