People are now contacting Visa and Mastercard in large numbers to demand answers about why they're banning legal content—especially adult and violent video games—from being transacted on their networks. These restrictions forced platforms like Steam and Itch.io to pull certain games without explanation. It’s likely they’re being silenced under regulatory pressure.
Enter Russ Vought: former Director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget and now Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). He's a key figure in Project 2025 and has publicly stated his goal to ban pornography, violent games, and other content he deems "harmful to children"—without scientific backing. In a clip posted by The Intercept, Vought hints at using children as a starting point to push broader censorship, cutting himself off before mentioning violent games.
Now in charge of the CFPB, Vought holds immense influence over banks and payment processors—and appears to be abusing that power to quietly enforce his agenda under the guise of child protection. It’s a calculated move: invoking “protecting the children” to justify censorship and control.
This isn’t a future threat—they’re already in power, already acting. They're using regulatory pressure to quietly kill Section 230 protections, shifting liability to platforms and pressuring financial institutions to restrict content they dislike. It’s an assault on free speech, on media, and on digital expression worldwide.
Don’t be fooled: this is a coordinated, strategic erosion of freedom, happening now while the public sleeps

People are contacting Visa and Mastercard en masse, demanding answers as to why they are banning legal content—particularly violent and adult video games—from being processed through their payment systems. This has led to platforms like Steam and Itch.io pulling such games without explanation. The silence suggests these companies are being gagged, likely due to regulatory threats.
Enter Russ Vought: co-writer of Project 2025, former Director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, and now Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Vought has publicly expressed a desire to ban pornographic and violent content from the internet—claims not backed by unbiased science. In a clip posted by The Intercept, he reveals plans to start with content "harmful to children" but hints at broader censorship goals, including violent games.
Now, as CFPB head, Vought wields authority over banks and payment processors. His history shows clear distaste for adult and violent content, suggesting he is abusing his position to pressure companies into compliance, all under the pretense of "protecting children"—a tactic often used to justify authoritarian control.
This agenda is part of a broader attack on free speech. Efforts are underway to dismantle Section 230 protections, making platforms liable for user content, forcing them to self-censor or face financial and legal repercussions.
They are not just planning to seize power—they already have. These steps are deliberate, coordinated, and ongoing. If left unchecked, they threaten democracy, digital freedom, and the future of creative media.
