Where is the source of liability that is making payment processors so adverse to adult content? You’re never going to convince me it’s a morality thing, they only care about the money. So where is the added risk/cost in processing adult content?
It’s pressure from a Christian Fascist Australian group called “Collective Shout”. They were the people behind itch.io and Steam being forced to purge things too.
In 2010, Collison co-founded Stripe, which in 2011 received investment of $2 million including from PayPal co-founders Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, and venture capital firms Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and SV Angel.

No offense to Australia, but is the Australian market big enough for them to really care?
They’re a front group, not the main force
They’re the ones making the push, but the fact is this is the result of payment processor monopolies.
As monopolies they should have the power to say fuck you to fascists.
Maybe they don’t have issue with banning it.
Also, while we’re here, I’d like to share this:

Oh, and also:

It’s backed by all the fascists.
Monopolies are inherently intertwined with fascism.
It’s not real pressure, but it’s certainly a convenient excuse if you’re ideologically aligned with said group anyways.
Do you know that for a fact in this case? It was reported on the Valve/Itch thing last year, but that doesn’t mean it’s them this time.
They’re captured by the Christian agenda
You’re right,
I mean, don’t all those ‘pay’ adult sites require your credit card subscription?
They don’t seem to have a problem processing those?
Wasn’t there an issue with pornhub? They were forced to scrub their servers of any unverified content.
