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.
- draw_down 5y agoI’m afraid this one’s more about illegal content and KYC than fraud. Sorry.

- observer23 5y agoChina allows online porn and their citizens have no trouble with Chinese payment processors accepting purchases for porn.
- Wameaw 5y agoI would suggest some research on China and porn-prohibition.
- shalmanese 5y agoChina most definitely does not allow online porn. It's tolerated as an underground enterprise but explicitly illegal.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoWho is "you"? What point is this rant supposed to be making? They're private companies, they have the freedom to do what they like, and "you" are free to start your own payment processor.
- camillomiller 5y agoYou is American culture. If you’re American, it’s YOUR country, the one who pretended to export democracy, and instead is only able to export its own puritanical and backward values on what they pretend to be a free global market. So yes, YOU.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoI wasn't asking you, but this strange rant is even less coherent than the other one.
- camillomiller 5y agoDismissing critical thinking as a rant is also very American.
- winwhiz 5y agoNo but seriously, (excuse my American ignorance), are there not European banks and payment processors? No European alternative to OnlyFans?
