Hello all,
In my opinion, any standard petitions today are pointless.
Instead, we need to follow the example of campaigns like "Stop Killing Games," which effectively targeted developers. We need to approach Mastercard and Visa in the same way.
We need a citizens' initiative that covers a broad area, like the EU, and that has real legal force. We need to clearly and loudly demonstrate that corporations are already violating EU antitrust laws, and draw the attention of those in positions of authority to this. It's not a matter of potential threats—it's already happening.
Fines of up to 10% of global turnover are possible—a scale that can appeal to any corporation. This is a much stronger means of pressure than any "collective shout."
Feminists from Australia—they didn't attack content creators themselves, but targeted the money that flows from this content. It was an effective strategy. And we must do the same – hit the revenues of payment processing companies, because only then do we have a real chance to oppose what is currently happening.
