A number of my friends and loved ones will be affected by this, and many more have been thrown under the payment processing bus before.

And forgive me if this seems ranty, but it isn’t just payment processors, it seems to permeate so much that comes out of the USA. See the various App Store rules too.

And this isn’t about fraud rates. Because why are the fraud rates high? It’s because the sex whole industry is pushed to the fringes, and loaded with shame. “Oh that payment wasn’t me, my card must have been stolen”.

I feel pretty angry how much this puritanical nature in a foreign country affects the people I care about around me.

If you can let China censor your platforms, you can let Europeans have porn.

Ok, rant over. Please don’t downvote too heavily.
