Anti Censorship Cheat Sheet:
Why? Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans, and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platforms and their users can host and sell. If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard.
How? Bombard them with phone calls. Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyfans to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended period, over a month at the absolute least, will almost guarantee that these companies will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive, but some contact points for the targets are:
Visa: US & Can 1(800)847-2911
US selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3
Mastercard: US 1(800)307-7309, Outside US 1(636)-722-7111
US selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1
Stripe: Headquarters 1(888)963-8955, France 33 805-11-19-67
Complaints: complaints@stripe.com
Paypal: US 1(800)221-1161, outside US 1(402)935-2050, customer service 1(877)569-1116
This is a marathon, not a race.
The rest does not fit in the limit but is not as vital.

Heads up about a journalist trying to get in contact with affected trans authors regarding the itch.io horse shit:

🚨🚨🚨 Indie website itch.io has just rolled out a major shadow ban of NSFW content. This drastic escalation in censorship already seems to affecting trans authors.
