Do you believe that this can actually affect the ongoing video-game censorship?

>(1) IN GENERAL.—To provide fair access to financial services, a covered bank, including a subsidiary of a covered bank,
>shall, except as necessary to comply with another provision of law—
>(A) make each financial service the covered bank offers available to all persons in the geographic market served by the covered bank on proportionally equal terms;
>(B) not deny any person a financial service the covered bank offers unless the denial is justified by such quantified and documented failure of the person to meet quantitative,
>impartial risk-based standards established in advance by the covered bank;
>(C) not deny, in coordination with or at the request of others, any person a financial service the covered bank offers; and


>(D) when denying any person financial services the covered bank offers,
>provide written justification to the person explaining the basis for the denial,
>including any specific laws or regulations the covered bank believes are being violated by the person or customer.
>(b) Prohibition.—No payment card network, including a subsidiary of a payment card network, may, directly or through any agent, processor, or licensed member of the network, by contract, requirement, condition, penalty, or otherwise, prohibit or inhibit the ability of any person who is in compliance with the law, including section 8 of this Act, to obtain access to services or products of the payment card network because of political or reputational risk considerations.

america has a moral obligation to ally with japan against australia in defense of lolislop

>>716155527 (OP)
It could, but it could use some boosting. Tell your reps to amend the bill to include these elements.

>First, it must create a federal civil relief with statutory damages for lost opportunity, ideally with riders for punitive damages, and also attorney's costs and fees. As this is a purely financial matter, it must make financial sense to sue one of the largest and most powerful companies in the world.
>Second, it must undo existing requirements already imposed by the federal government on financial services. Title III of the PATRIOT Act "deputized" (in the words of Ron Paul) the financial services to act as a form of law enforcement, one which cannot be appealed and provides no due process. By the time the PATRIOT Act was not renewed, the vestigial remains of these Title III requirements had been reshuffled into other parts of the U.S.C.

Congress doesn't care that you can't play waifu pantsu quest on Steam. They're just using current thing to create some loophole that can be exploited

It does, we passed a buncha good shit in BBB that wouldve never passed without calling and spreading the word.

okay but what else did they sneak in there

This is why american politics is such a shitshow. Why do you idiots allow your politicians to wrap all the underhanded bullshit in topics it's political suicide to be against instead of demanding they be put up for separate votes?

>america has a moral obligation to ally with japan against australia in defense of lolislop
YES

>>716158525
I mean they might be a shitshow but it's still the best in the world and you're probably a third-worlder so you don't even have a vote or voice. So shut up.

I agree with these

>>716158909

>>716158525
Because that would get in the way of them actually passing. I remember watching a video a while back that mentioned it but it's just harder to pass single issue bills because it's not an issue for most people.

>>716158525
Because politicians vote on identity politics and how much they get bribe - I mean, 'gifted' by lobbies, they don't actually give a single flying fuck about this country or who they're actually supposed to be representing.

I just want the ability to purchase a legal thing from a store that sells a legal thing, without having to hear about some unrelated women's crusade against virtual japanese rape sims involving the same businesses. Is that so difficult?

>>716155527 (OP)
This bill is a bad idea, it just introduces more red tape that creates more bureaucratic jobs in banks, more room for corruption, larger barriers to entry so new banks cannot threaten the old guard.

The correct remedy to this problem is to revoke the patents and IPs that payment processors use, and find any other things that are enabling the MasterVisa duopoly.

their president is a pedophile as well as every other conservative/liberal, so it makes sense.

Also stop killing games is a bad idea.

wow, nothing gets past you anon

>>716160361
Stop killing games depends a lot on how the law will be implemented. I think it is fraud to say "Buy", "Purchase", or anything of the sort rather than "rent" on the store pages for these games. Using the word "buy" should be legally binding contract to provide all the software and licenses needed to operate the product.

The end user shouldn't ever have to care what the payment processor things. It's there to process the payment, otherwise we'd go back to using cash.
If you want people to use credit cards, they need to be usable. Once I start thinking about the ifs ands and butts I'm gonna find an alternative...
...and I might like that alternative to you better for everything else too.
