Steam is now taking down games that violate Payment Processor guidelines.

This is the big elephant in the room. The real lock on censorship comes from who controls payments. There are just a handful of companies (Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, etc.) that are basically legislating via monoploy control.

This has been used against 2A companies as well.

While some content is certainly disagreeable, companies should not be dictating this to the rest of the world. This effectively makes them governments without process or representation.
