Civitai, an AI model sharing site backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) that 404 Media has repeatedly shown is being used to generate nonconsensual adult content, lost access to its credit card payment processor.

According to an announcement posted to Civitai on Monday, the site will “pause” credit card payments starting Friday, May 23. At that time, users will no longer be able to buy “Buzz,” the on-site currency users spend to generate images, or start new memberships.
