This doesn't make any sense at all. Pick a subscription porn site right now, any one, and go try to sign up. You don't have to follow through, just get to the payment page and don't click submit. They all take Visa and MasterCard.
CCbill itself couldn't exist if Visa and MasterCard didn't let it process payments for porn.
- throwaway5752 5y agoThe porn industry is regulated, believe it or not. What happens is that financial system support is withdrawn from places that provide avenues for exploitation of children or victims of human traffickers. I expect OF didn't think they could meet recordkeeping requirements or assume the liabilities of doing so incorrectly.
- TillE 5y agoYeah exactly. PornHub is the exception, not the rule - they were taking card payments right up until the recent news coverage about illegal content.
- Mindwipe 5y agoIt's not about a flat yes/no to porn, it's about the level of arbitrary rules, shifting policies, banned keywords etc etc that Mastercard inflict on any businesses that include adult content, that make operating a business nearly impossible. These rules are getting worse because MC's head has decided to give in to the scaremongering by far right religious group Exodus Cry.
