After recent scandals around payment systems and gaming content, I came up with a way to stir the pot and make things even more interesting for both big corporations and everyday folks.
Payment processors are starting to moderate games - cracking down on content involving alcohol, tobacco, and adult themes. But meanwhile, they still process payments for movie theaters, streaming platforms, and bars where alcohol and cigarettes are openly shown and promoted.
So what if we flood their inboxes with letters demanding they apply the same ethical standards to Twitch, YouTube, Discord, Unity games, Google Play, Spotify, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, HBO, and other media services? Claim that movies, music, and content glamorizing alcohol, tobacco, and violence violate moral guidelines - and if they want to be consistent, they should start restricting payments for these industries too.
Imagine how confused and chaotic it would get for them to deal with that!
We can pretend it’s a serious request from a "community movement" with hundreds of supporters.
My challenge to you: be creative - come up with your own "moral" reasons to go after Twitch, YouTube, and the rest of the media circus.
Who's in? Let's spam their emails with these demands and see what happens.
After all, a handful of activists managed to do this before — why can’t we? Just send one letter a day and tweak the wording a bit; it’ll only take 5-10 minutes.
PS: let’s watch the world burn.
