- Mendenhall 9y agoThat defeats his whole "so what" argument, Because if those 2 matter others do as well.

Loads of them, and for what it's worth Farmville and friends IIRC even invented their own virtual currency. Alcohol I haven't seen yet but every major beer and spirits brand has its own Facebook page. Ad networks usually forbid alcohol due to underage-drinking-ad-laws (which FB can avoid due to their real-name policy and them requiring you lots of times to submit a government ID) and gambling due to a host of even more country-specific laws (which FB can certainly spend a lot of lawyer money on to safely navigate them, given that gambling ads usually pay huge sums for well working spots). And I believe that CC processors for ad networks don't like both due to the same issue; with a giant like Facebook, no CC issuer can afford to not deal with them, so they trust FB to not get them in legal trouble.
