> Why isn't Visa being forced to stop providing payment processing services for liquor stores that sell alcohol to people who drive drunk and injure themselves and others? I swear, this isn't a strawman argument—Visa is as removed from culpability in this case as they are in this PornHub case, and deaths caused by drunk driving are reasonably far more damaging to human life.
Well that may be coming next.

> Moreover, Visa alegedly had considerable sway over that business’s decision-making, a
conclusion amply supported by the allegation that MindGeek removed 80% of its content
when Visa suspended its business with MindGeek. Visa is not being asked to police “the
billions of individual transactions it processes each year.” (Mem. at 9.) It is simply
being asked to refrain from offering the tool with which a known alleged criminal entity
performs its crimes.
- HereIGoAgain 4y agoAs I said below. Hopefully this is the beginning of a process that leads to such an unworkable situation that things move the other way. And leave crime up to the police and government and not PP, backs and CC companies. With any luck we might even be able to get some kind of safeguards. "Financial Services Neutrality Act" maybe?
