Absolutely fucked up.
Is there an alternative to those payment processors? I feel like using those are just not good if they go down that road.
not really. Russia made their own payment processor because of being kicked out from SWIFT but using their system would be immoral.
it would be interesting if the EU makes their own payment processor.
some people were peddling crypto as a way to regain autonomy but most consumers don't have the skills to buy it using cash and sideline Visa/MasterCard. it's also not as accessible to people without technical skills.
This is literally why crypto was invented, as another user put it, “before crypto bros turned it into a pump n dump scheme”

I know this is more of a serious thing, but I was thinking that I kinda hope these payment processors try to ban some big European company over some puritanical bullshit and then Europe responds with threatening a complete ban on them to put them in line. Ain't no way any payment processor would ever risk being banned in one of the largest markets in the world.

They should do Twitter next. Twitter has nsfw AI role play now and it should be banned by payment processors.
Edit: I say this because I want to bring up the hypocrisy of the advocacy. Why they get to choose what companies can do porn which cannot?

I wonder who major porn sites use as payment processors? (I don't know the answer, I'm just saying...)
