While I enjoy the fact that Ripples is back and the fact that it can be offered for free, this incident should never had happened.
Creators should be able to get paid for their work. There are a few campaigns to stop this…
Change Org : https://chng.it/GPJgRVgSsK
ACLU : https://action.aclu.org/petition/mastercard-sex-work-work-end-your-unjust-policy
Apparently the following discusses the process in the EU:

Lets stop this madness so that it can't happen again.
For the record, I always had access during this dark time through the download link as I have donated to Ripples before this horrible takedown occurred. But any future incident may not be the same.
