Fighting Back Against VISA Censorship...

Japan Strikes Back Against VISA Censorship After
Steam Removes 100's of Games for "Brand Protection"

Yamada Taro has been a huge advocate for Freedom of Expression and Anti-Censorship within Japan. He has been in communication with famous author Ken Akamatsu of "Love Hina" on fighting against VISA and Mastercard "Payment Processors" on forcing Japanese Culture to self censor itself. This good news comes after just days ago Steam had a policy change where hundreds of games were removed from their platform by the same people censoring anime and manga. However a group made themselves known as "Collective Shout" that seems to be the major spearhead of why fiction is getting censored.
