lol, I hope they're paying you.

Stop restricting fiction. It's far more existential.

Better sell soon. The attached webm is about Japan's Visual Industry Research Society that was formed by Otaku LDP 2nd chair Yamada Tarou, platform regulator Kobayashi Fumiaki, and foreign affairs former Prime Minister of Japan Kishida Fumio, with the general aim of promoting and supporting the entire "visual" industry (inc. anime)
one of their first actions was to gather all entities concerning payment within Japan. In the video announcement explicitly call out VISA's fiction restrictions.
They've already started working. Their first action was to gather all entities concerning payment within Japan to get everyone on the same page.

>Yesterday, Japanese Diet members held a closed-door exchange of opinions with international credit card brands, acquirers, payment processing companies, affiliated stores, and relevant government ministries and agencies. We will work together to resolve the issue of censorship by credit card companies and other parties.

Thank you for the break down. It's a start. The Australian one being the best is good because Collective Shout, which informed Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal of Steam's weak compliance to their fiction censorship policies was Australian.

Yay! A Yamada Taro poster! From my English-only understanding, he succeeded at making the China-backed and Russia-backed fictional loli ban in the UN Cybercrime Treaty ultimately optional.

Taro Yamada with the former Japanese prime minster will save Japanese video games from the Visa and other payment processor, webm related.

I hope it would have applied to VISA/MC in entirety since they burger-based
if they don't relent before then, Japan already had plans for legislation and this August supposedly has a big wig meeting for just that
all the information revealed because the western side was attacked would probably accelerate the process

>>716391830
there's an assembly in either mid-August or mid-September where they're planning to gather "everyone" within Japan along with reps to get them on the same page
at best they could actually compel VISA/MC to abide being entities registered within Japan, write up legislation to be treated as neutral infrastructure "in a cashless society" (something like Fair Access), or expand existing infra (JCB) and/or pursue cheaper expandable fin-tech

really dunno why digital hasn't been a thing for years

that shit's related to what the US govt was probing about before all this
the actual assembly to tackle this shit in Japan is in August or September

Since censorship by payment processors has been trending for months now
the House of Councillors election is tomorrow and I believe Yamada Tarou truly knows the situation by not outright accusing VISA

>>715788003
Japan does have JCB, but shrank their reach if that's what you mean
and JCB already salvaged most of the storefronts that were cut off from VISA/MC, which caused adoption to surge

everyone should be watching their current Councillor election while waiting for their Euro Shoppe processors

reminder that the House of Councillors election is on the 20th
Yamada Tarou's group may just pull something out of their ass due to the entirely different registry architecture of their banking system

>>715589101
it's currently Yamada Tarou that needs your votes
Ken Akamatsu's re-election is in 3 years

こんにちは
are you planning to vote for Yamada Tarou this House of Councillors election?

>>530913678
well, are you voting for Yamada Tarou?

>>715220360
I half wish that was true, to end up exposing the true nature of jewcob to naive JP devs

>>714984989
it's a shame that not even /jp/ has a thread up for momentous elections
the get together with all Japanese payment settlement groups is supposedly this mid-August, where everyone should bear witness to whatever conclusion, either internal or back out external, with everyone on the same page
