Alright here, let me tell you how this works. Way back in 2018 Congress passed the FOSTA-SESTA Act. It enjoyed wide bipartisan support, 97-2 in the Senate and 388-25 in the House. It was then signed into law by President Donald Trump on April 11, 2018.
Under this law, if anyone accuses a person or company of engaging in sex trafficking of any kind, it essentially gives law enforcement federal carte blanche to completely freeze financial records and arrest anyone that's even tertiarily involved as accomplices. For example, if you're roommates with a prostitute you can be arrested and charged with facilitation and trafficking, even if you have nothing to do with what your roommate is doing. Anyone even remotely involved is now under threat of being arrested, and for itch.io that means every single one of their employees. If they're an immigrant they're also under threat of being deported.
Itch.io has to comply or they'll be charged with a Rico Act (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act). So all that has to happen is the 1000 Kangaroo Karen group has to inform Mastercard/VISA that ich.io is sex trafficking and Mastercard/VISA will immediately threaten to cut itch.io off if they don't remove the offending material, because if not the payment processors will be subject to FOSTA-SESTA and a Rico Act too. This is also why Tumblr porn exodus happened in 2018, why Patreon got whacked, and why the remaining sites that allow NSFW content don't work with the duopoly of payment processors that are subject to this.
It's modern McCarthyism, a neopuritanical Red Scare. Blame the 2018 Congress for passing it, blame Trump for signing it, blame Collective Shout for triggering it, blame the Supreme Court for not declaring unconstitutional, blame the payment processors for complying with a foreign group. But things are very unlikely to change until the current administration leaves, since even more porn bans came into effect since.
