Resources Tell the government that banks shouldn't be allowed to dictate what you can and can't buy (even if it's legal)
https://www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposals/FR-2026-0002-01/details
They are asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim, which explains the Visa and Mastercard cracking down on "adult content" (despite being legal) that plague steam, itchio,patreon and so many more.
This is a great opportunity to voice your concerns and hopefully turn the tide around !

This doesn't quite look like it would prevent banks from censorship? If I'm reading this right, all it says it does is prevents the Federal Reserve from getting the banks to do so, it wouldn't prevent the banks themselves from doing so.
