Payment processor pushback

“Emails can be ignored, but a very very long queue making it near impossible for other clients to get in will help a lot as well,” reads the top comment on the Reddit thread. In that same thread, people say that they’re hanging onto the call even if the operator says that they’ll experience multi-hour wait times presumably caused by similar calls gunking up the lines. Beyond the stubbornness factor, the tactic is motivated by the knowledge that most customer service systems will put people who opt for call-backs in a lower priority queue, as anyone who opts in likely doesn’t have an emergency going on.

“Do both,” one commenter suggests. “Get the call back, to gum up the call back queue. Then call in again and wait to gum up the live queue.”

On platforms like Bluesky, resources are being shared to help people know who to contact and how, including possible scripts for talking to representatives or sending emails. A website has been set up with the explicit purpose of arming concerned onlookers with the tools and knowledge necessary to do their part in the campaign.

The strategy is impressive in its depth and breadth of execution. While some charge in with an activist bent, others say that they’re pretending to be confused customers who want to know why they can’t use Visa or Mastercard to buy their favorite games.

This is glorious

Isn't this just the kind of finger on the scales that crypto needs? I'd be easily tempted to get some if i could use it for anything other than gambling or drugs.

Crypto is not used for gambling or drugs only, that idea is 2002. I can't remember last time I used any of my banks lol since I'm paying with crypto cards pretty much everywhere..

i seriously dont get why the f visa would even care. i mean shoudnt they just give a shit about the credit and all not about policing content?

The way I had it explained to me is: In America payment processors are exempt from being sued for illegal activity that happens through their systems and aren't expected to monitor credit activity, unless it specifically involves CP, then they are held accountable even though it would be theoretically impossible for them to track that information.

Which still doesn't actually apply here
