I got a notice today that my sub to Taibbi (running since early 21) was "suspicious" and when I tried to "allow" the payment, Substack stated that it failed anyway because "Your card does not support this type of purchase."

You would have no issues at all if you tried to pay for an establishment-supporting substack. Weird how all the "errors and mistakes" lean towards one side.
My bank/CC is now not allowing me to do any transactions if my VPN is showing a 'foreign' site. I use MX and many of the Asian/African VPN sites to get into controversial sites. I am now quickly changing the VPN to a US one (Miami is good) whenever I want to make a purchase. Good luck.
Time for us to all collect our books and build that Library of Alexandria, take our intellectual ball and go home like Denzel in Book of Eli. Sorry for your trouble Commander
I had this happen the last time I tried to renew my Taibbi sub, and the reason given was exactly the same, word for word. It turned out to be on the credit card issuer side. I was eventually able to get around this with the CC issuer, but it took some work.
For on-line purchases, I use a feature that provides a "virtual credit card" number that is only good for a single merchant. The problem is that each blogger is considered a unique "merchant" because of the way Substack posts charges (i.e., the charge doesn't just post as "Substack"). So the charge is rejected if Substack tries to post my payment to a second blogger using the same virtual number.
Think back over the last, say, 20 years. Did you protest against the Iraq war? How about protesting at Occupy Wall Street? Were you a member of the Tea Party? A member of #TheResistance? Did you disagree with the governmentтАЩs covid response? ItтАЩs nearly certain that everybody with a political pulse has crossed the government at one time or another. How comfortable are you with the idea that the person youтАЩre protesting against can shut off your bank account?
Because now, it seems, those perfectly legal actions at least have the potential to come with harsh monetary consequences, as well as the ensuing chaos caused by financial ruin. And this is happening all without a single shred of oversight or due process. ItтАЩs just some asshole in an expensive suit giving a list of тАШsubversivesтАЩ to another asshole in an expensive suit. The no-fly list but with the very real potential to ruin your life.
Our oil mill nearby dared to sell CBD, non-intoxicating, THC-free, perfectly legal in EU, but PayPal disagreed - and froze the account for 1 year. With some considerable credit balance in favour of the oil mill. This was resolved by rejecting PayPal as a payment offer.
Meanwhile the owner committed suicide, of course just by his own, (no EMP was there, but no autopsy was done :), though he had very sucessfully innovated oil mills by cooled water circulation preventing de-naturation of sensitive molecules; and in a year, the clerks could not find someone wanting to follow.
Needless to say they sold black cumine oil with high essential oil content, bio-quality, artemisia annua and moringa leaf powder, able to fight CoV, HIV, cancer, Malaria (94%, see anamed.org), allergies, and much more.
My bank was even not aware that a faked тАЬstolen cc number eventтАЭ may be abused by targeting the cc owner in a censorship plot... depriving him of the payment method for weeks.
You're right! I never thought of that. All you would need to know is the person's name, and what bank they use.
While that info wouldn't be known most of the time. It's possible that if you follow someone, or have a bot do it, that they might mention their bank's name. Then you could just have people call in stolen a stolen card, and instant "temporary" block could be put in place.
People would have to prove that their card WASN'T stolen.
No chance. It was permanently locked. No right to get the name of the offending company. And after CoV, we know the network of structural corruption, do we not? And on top of BigavaxPharMafia, BigMil, BigData, BigFood/Water/etc all in bed together sits - as the director - BANKING. And some entities behind.

Will be reaming my bank a new one ASAP.

I wouldn't know, lol!
ЁЯШД So is it a Substack problem or a bank problem?
I yelled at my bank, they said it was all a mistake.
Tried again, same result.
Sounds like your bank has been reaming you.
That's what they do. I've long said that my first rule of banks is the same as the first rule of crypto:
Only put in what you can afford to lose.
Too logical.
Do it like relationships, push all your chips to the middle of the table 3 weeks in!!!
It sounds like until they push through the CBDC nonsense that "non-cancelling" banking might actually become a business venture.
One could become the Rumble of banks.

Yep. I wrote about it over a year ago, now:

Now connect the dots.
FJB.

Oh, I thought that it was like a stolen card event, where they would issue a new card.
Update: magically, the card was тАЮlost on the postal delivery routeтАЬ, so no payment method in week 4 - if I would depend on it.
So do not depend on one or two. тАж
They now try it again.
LetтАШs see.
I just project these happenings into the near future of centralised moneyтАж
Do not comply, a famous substacker would end :))
That's why we really need to fight for this:
