Recently, due to the pressure from radical groups and the maintenance of their own brand reputation, financial institutions such as Visa and MasterCard have put pressure on game platforms such as Steam and itch.io.The game platform had to compromise and remove a large number of adult games, which caused controversy online, but this situation may turn around soon.

According to the White House announcement recently, the current President Trump signed an executive order on August 7 to ensure that financial institutions will not refuse or restrict the provision of services based on factors such as "political, religious, and legal business activities" to protect the American people's right to have fair access to financial services.The signing of this order means that financial institutions such as Visa and MasterCard shall not attempt to intervene in the review as long as the platform content falls within the legal scope.

The executive order requires financial regulators to assume supervision responsibilities, and review financial institutions must remove related words such as "protecting brand reputation" from the manual and other materials, which means that financial institutions must not interrupt service contracts on this ground.

In addition, if financial institutions have put pressure on certain units or take measures, they must cancel all of them within 180 days and complete the relevant amendments.This also means that platforms such as Steam, itch.io can re-list content that was removed before without worrying about being cut off from payment channels.

In addition, Trump also asked the Treasury Secretary to formulate comprehensive policies to prevent financial institutions from taking other tricks to do similar behaviors, and even propose solutions such as legislation and establishment of regulatory agencies if necessary.
