Consumers are revolting against payment processors who seek to ban adult-themed Steam games, movies, and art. A Change.org petition aimed at Visa and Mastercard is rapidly gaining support. Its organizers also wish to limit the power of activist groups that influence these companies.

      People are doing that too, there was just an article posted a bit ago talking about that.

      Causing multi hour waits with the goal of hurting them by delaying actual customers getting help

        I believe jamming up the new customer lines does more damage. It destroys their quotas and blocks new revenue.

        Change.org is a for profit company with no government attachment what so ever. Signing a pettition there is only handing dipshit capitalists your personal info to sell.

        Because change.org will keep relentlessly spamming you and selling your info for years and years and years regardless of opt-outs.

      Imagine if you could do 2 separate 5-minute tasks to pressure giant corporations.
