Australian anti-porn advocacy group Collective Shout has successfully lobbied such payment networks and processors as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal and Stripe to stop facilitating financial transactions from storefronts Steam and Itch.io until games with certain adult or sexual content were removed from sale.
