Patreon are just as bad. They banned Sydney Watson because they disagree with her political views. What's so bad is it wasn't because of anything she said on Patreon, but elsewhere online. If Dave says something they dislike on this forum, they might ban him.
Pateron's problem is who works for/runs their "Global Trust & Safety".
If you look up some of their current/recent staff it make sense.
1. Sean Bonawitz - Senior Director, Head of Trust & Safety - Formerly had same job(s) at TikTok, Youtube, Google.
2. Jacqueline Hart - Former Senior Director, Global Trust & Safety - global online payments fraud, trust and safety, compliance and content moderation areas within risk management. Speaker at such international events as Merchant Risk Council, PaymentsEd, RSA, CNP Expo, and card brand summits.
This "Global Trust & Safety" is another BS term, it's all about credit card financial matters, nothing about ethics or having consistent rules.
The money laundering things I get, but they (the credit card companies) need to drop the "customer is always right" nonsense.
Sometimes the customer is a con artist, or a troll, and send money to someone just so they can trigger a chargeback (result -$40 donation).
Or donate to a Patreon creator, download everything, then call the bank and complain just so you get it for free.
This Woke nonsense is a symptom not a cause, the real issue is listening to cranks who use their personal credit cards to drain other people's bank accounts.
After a while the bank gets annoyed about how much this is costing them, and wrongly hassle Youtube/Patreon/Google, instead of telling a handful of their customers to take a long walk off a short pier.
