I'm sorry, but blaming all this on a NYT opinion piece is idiotic.

- Scaevolus 5y agoThe payment processors banned MindGeek soon after that NYT article. Do you think that was a coincidence? MasterCard's new rules appear to be a direct response to the concerns the article raised. Is that coincidental?
- throwaway444590 5y agowhile that is true mindgeek sites still take mastercard. if i am not mistaken mastercard never left them just asked for stricter control.
- jmull 5y agoAnd your theory is that a progressive journalist is calling the shots as Mastercard? I'm pretty sure MC would look a lot different if that were true.
- rnd0 5y agoIt's more likely that the progressive journalist was a hired gun working for someone who told him what to write about.
