If fraud was the only thing they cared about, why was Alex Jones (and other conservatives) deplatformed by MasterCard? Why are some banks stopping every customer they have from allowing them to buy firearms?
- scrollaway 8y ago> why was Alex Jones deplatformed by MasterCard Oh I can't possibly think of a reason why someone would chargeback Alex Jones' Totally Legitimate Line of "BURN ALL YOUR FAT" products. Health & Wellness is a known high risk category. > [...] firearms? I'm talking about Visa and MasterCard. Banks have regulations to worry about.
- pranks 8y agoI think it was Buzzfeed News or Daily Beast but they did an investigation into Alex jones products... they’re legit products
- scrollaway 8y agoI'm guessing you're referencing this? https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/charliewarzel/we-sent-alex-jones-infowars-supplements-to-a-lab-heres https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/charliewarzel/we-sent-a... I just skimmed it, looks like a good piece of investigative work. I don't see where you're reading they're "legit products", all the article seems to say is that they're not outright dangerous. And this holds absolutely no value to payment processors, btw. Health & Wellness is a high risk category, period. I don't know why you think "but they're legit!" is even sort of relevant.
