@ArmitageJim @premnsikka 1/ Offshore #PSP (Payment Service Provider) #CheckoutDOTcom (formerly #OpusPayments) - “Checkout”: ‘how Europe’s most valuable start-up lost its crown’ (ft.com/content/308048…). Checkout (like it’s PSP brethren) was ‘formally’ authorised by the … 
2/ UK’s blind eyed financial regulator (@TheFCA, formerly #FSA) in 12/2012, following implementation of the 2011 #Emoney regulations: Checkout’s website would follow months later. The FCA’s ‘#Emoney scene’ has been long covered by a thick ‘FCA fog’ which scandal …
3/ after scandal has sunk in to (#Wirecard, #AlliedWallet, #Payza etc - the subjects of future exposes). Little is known from the press about Checkout (precursor: #OpusPayments) - many press articles read like the same company press release, simply regurgitated.
To keep powerful people under control, British Empire used hazing, rape, sexual abuse as blackmail, as a rite of passage in business and sports, in residential schools to control people etc.
In Canada Junior Hockey Players are bought, sold & traded, Women were left out of Junior Hockey system. It is rooted to a culture of “The promised son”. Hazing traumatized players for generations. A good book to read on it is Crossing the Lines by Laura Robertson.
We have the same issues happening with Canadian business, sports, military, churches, private schools for the rich and Indian residential schools. nytimes.com/2022/05/30/can…
#pédocriminalité 31.07.2022 Un juge fédéral US statue qu'"il est raisonnable de conclure que #Visa a sciemment aidé à monétiser la #pédopornographie" dans l'affaire visant la société #Mindgeek qui possède notamment #Pornhub
Le juge Cormac Carney du tribunal de district central de Californie a écrit : « Visa savait que les sites Web de MindGeek regorgeaient de pédopornographie monétisée », dans le procès Fleites c. MindGeek .
"Lorsque MindGeek décide de monétiser la pédopornographie et que Visa décide de continuer à autoriser l'utilisation de son réseau de paiement à cette fin sachant que de la pédopornographie en fait partie, il est tout à fait prévisible que les accusés de pédopornographie
Like so many others, we are very glad to see the outcome of the #HarveyWeinstein trial this past week. He has done immeasurable harm with his sexual exploitation, abuse and rape of so many women, using his position of power for his own self-gratification. #HarveyWeinsteinGuilty
While most are disgusted with the extent of #HarveyWeinstein’s offending, the same can’t be said for the sick minds at #Pornhub His crimes are treated as masturbation fodder in re-enactments for men’s entertainment. His victims are named (we cut from pic) #ShutDownPornHub
Meanwhile, popular culture treats #Pornhub as a big joke. Men’s demand for the bodies of women and underage girls, objectified, used, abused, humiliated, bruised, restrained, abducted, choked, raped, tortured, trafficked, subject to misogynistic & racial abuse treated as a joke.
Let's just have this conversation, having recently read an article wherein models are pissed off because they're not being paid as much.
Do you, the model, have a "fan" site?
Yeah, well... This producer is getting his ass handed to him because of fan sites, tube, & torrents. 🖕🏻

Here's the article, and yeah, let's discuss your grievances.
Maybe we can bring #MindGeek into the conversation, as well as, all of the foreign hosted torrent sites.

It's interesting to look at the framing around this launch:
>The move serves to bolster user privacy, ensure network security, and alleviate concerns about browsing habits among LGBT users whose preferences remain criminalized in certain countries…
>The move serves to bolster user privacy, ensure network security, and alleviate concerns about browsing habits among LGBT users whose preferences remain criminalized in certain countries…
…> While certain site capabilities such as account login and consequently, the ability to upload content are disabled while using the Tor site, users are nonetheless able to enjoy completely safe and anonymous browsing on the platform.
Making provisions for people to have a better experience when accessing the site over Tor. Familiar refrain.
I welcome this advancement, irrespective of my other criticisms of #Mindgeek, and hope they maintain this affordance in the face of political counter-pressure elsewhere.
