An Update on Payment Processor Issues By Jacob, Founder & CEO of FAKKU • Published on 4/18/2026 At the end of 2025, a few weeks before Christmas, the payment processor we had worked with for the past 11 years terminated our account abruptly, without any prior notice or warning. This was due to a fundamental misunderstanding of what anime and manga actually are, and new Al compliance systems built to detect malicious behavior that incorrectly flagged content on our forums from users discussing their favorite hentai genres.

Statement from @largehotcoffee.com re @fakku.net’s censorship woes in late 2025. Confirms the site faced payment processor issues due to “a fundamental misunderstanding of what anime and manga actually are” & struggles with “new AI compliance systems“
