For clarification this is a joke.

There's a new petition regarding Payment Processors like VISA and Mastercard in Canada. This targets financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services, ensuring transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and to protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.

Gonna be honest, while I appreciate the gesture, I don't see the point about signing this when I have already seen my government debank people financially supporting movements it considered "dangerous", and I am also guessing this petition only deals with 18+ content and not whatever the government decides I shouldn't be spending my money on.

Visa and TECH5 have entered a seven-year global agreement aimed at accelerating the rollout of digital identity and payment systems under the broader framework of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI).

The initiative, formalized in Dubai, supports a vision promoted by organizations including the United Nations, the European Union, the World Economic Forum, and Bill Gates. DPI strategies are being pushed as part of a global roadmap to digitize identity and financial access by 2030.

Under this deal, Visa will combine its payments network with TECH5’s biometric and identity technology.

Together, the companies plan to create integrated platforms that allow individuals to store verified credentials and use them to access services and conduct financial transactions. These systems would be built with adaptability in mind, reflecting regional regulations and market conditions.

The collaboration will center on developing identity wallets that not only verify users but also include embedded payment capabilities. TECH5 brings AI-powered systems capable of facial, fingerprint, and iris recognition, while Visa contributes its infrastructure and global experience in digital payments.

Visa will provide strategic and financial support for selected projects. TECH5 will offer the core biometric and identity components.

Both companies say their joint work will prioritize data protection, user consent, and alignment with standards for wallet interoperability and digital credentials.

Machiel van der Harst, Co-founder and CEO of TECH5, said, “Our collaboration with Visa represents a significant step in broadening the reach and applicability of TECH5’s DPI technologies. By combining our identity and biometric expertise with Visa’s global payment network and resources, we are positioned to address the evolving needs of governments and institutions seeking secure and inclusive digital infrastructure.”

Dr. Svyatoslav Senyuta, Vice President and Head of Visa Government Solutions in the CEMEA region, added, “At Visa, we believe that secure, inclusive, and scalable digital identity is foundational to the future of payments.”

Although the announcement describes the agreement as global, neither company has confirmed where initial deployments will take place. Previous collaboration between Visa and TECH5 in Ethiopia helped support the Fayda digital ID system, and both were involved in the early stages of South Africa’s digital ID initiative.

Future pilot programs will depend on local regulations, governmental interest, and the readiness of implementation partners. The companies describe this as a flexible model that will adjust based on jurisdiction-specific needs.

The move reflects a broader international push to integrate verified digital identity with financial services. This is often presented as a way to reduce friction in service delivery, expand inclusion, and prevent fraud. However, privacy advocates continue to raise alarms over the implications of centralizing both identification and payment systems.

By embedding biometric ID into the infrastructure of daily life, these systems risk enabling mass surveillance, particularly in regions where transparency and oversight are weak. Claims around data protection and consent rely heavily on implementation details, many of which remain vague.

Looks like I'm going to have get used to writing checks again. I did this month with mostly cash and it was a decent experience. Other than realizing how much money I spend because I can't see it. Guess I'll be pulling a lot of overtime for the next few years.

Someone went through the effort to get it going and it takes two seconds to sign - I got a few people on it and I can say that I tried, rather than leaving a lingering question on whether my six or seven signees would have been enough to make some Ottawa busybody double guess their trajectory. I thought that all of these petition systems were total finger traps designed to waste well-meaning people's time and send their effort to die in obscurity until Stop Killing Games got a million and a half signatures. I still kind of do, but the least I can say is that I've learned if you don't try, you die - a cause is a lot more sympathetic if the people supporting it have actually tried rather than dicklessly given up.

Using cash is what every sane person does; normies switching to credit cards and digital payment platforms were wrong. Cash is simple, easy, and private. It is also impossible to censor. So the fact that people thought moving away from cash, probably the closest thing to a perfect currency medium, was a good idea is insane. As the legendary neckbeard Richard Stallman once said, "Don't be tracked; use cash."

Anyhow, why is censoring porn games a bad thing? I thought people were happy Mastercard and Visa cut off Pornhub. Why are chuds all of a sudden defending porn video games now? Is it because feminist moms demanded it? Because I feel like this issue has flipped the political compass on its head. I see far-right chuds aligning themselves with far-left journalist trannies. I know you will make the argument that if they censor porn, they will censor speech from right-wingers, but even Kiwi Farms censors porn, and it allows right-wing opinions, so this slippery slope argument is dumb.

cash has a few usability problems over swiping the shitty plastic card or tapping your personal tracking device to an nfc sensor. digital payment offered mild convenience and many people have switched to it since they were (and most still are) unaware of the massive costs a small amount of convenience can have

i will ask a question: do you think visa is particularly ideologically aligned with the kiwi farms?

And nobody ever will. Nobody will even think about sounding the alarm on this or pushing back. We are destined to be slaves.

Total Payment Processor and Digital ID Victory

The Charlie Kirk assassination turned out to be the perfect distraction for bringing about the end of freedom as we know it. Either way, it's not like anyone can fight back against it now. Just take the tracking anal probe and move on.

As stated Before. Many years ago I've stated that this was going to happen. That people gave up their freedoms for the sake of social CONVIENCE.

I've always have HARD COPY of everything that is important, until they take away legal tender I'll have at least 60 grand in my vault/mattress/strong box/etc so I can live the life without being canceled in manner.

This NEEDS to be headlines 24/7 until it ends and it has to be treated as seriously as say, Gaza. Period.

People keep bending the knee, they will not hold anything back, and then sooner or later the only rules of the Internet will be Noahide laws (imagine UK Internet).

Imagine being a random steam dev though. There is a reason why they killed all physical PC games.

It really doesn't make sense to assume what the position of everyone on a particular side of a movement is. Even if do you want to say the majority of chuds are anti-porn or something this is hardly the point, no one likes the idea of a credit card or payment processor company being able to make people do things they don't want to do. If steam as an individual entity were the ones who decided they don't want porn on their service obviously people against such content would be fine with it, but what is actually happening is that an ideally unaffiliated group is telling them what they can and cannot do by grabbing them by the balls and twisting really hard.
People are against retards like Visa and Mastercard telling people what to do when they shouldn't have no place to do so, its quite simple.

Ideally services like these should only step in to debank someone when its clear violation of *legal laws* that are going on, not political grievances fueled by partisan complaints, money is too powerful of a speech wrangler to allow them total freedom from neutrality where they get to effectively boot anyone they don't like. What I suspect is that they will simply continue to do so though, as they own the services and thus believe that they are allowed to fine tune things to their own beliefs and work with whoever has kowtowed to their specific framework of thought. The only real future prospect that doesn't involve government intervention is switching to crypto (neutral payment service) or a payment processor catered specifically to neutral affairs like this popping up (not happening lol).

I used to think that way too until I had a hotel I was residing in broken into and had almost three thousand dollars stolen from me. FDIC is a beautiful thing when you need it.
