it’s not the tech companies. Nor does it have anything to do with China or Saudi Arabia. It’s partially the fault of the US conservative anti-porn christofacists and SESTA/FOSTA getting passed in 2018. And partially the fault of credit card payment processors deeming adult content “unacceptable” (payment processors have WAY TOO MUCH power and control over what internet content is acceptable or not!)
was literally gonna comment that it reminds me of catdog. Clearly someone already beat me to it.
