    This is sort of off topic but the constraints credit card companies put on porn is ridiculous. Cannabis, sadly, is illegal federally. Porn is legal everywhere in the country.

    I’d very much support legislation that required payment processors to not discriminate against any firm provided the business transaction is legal.

      Part of the problem here is that marijuana is federally illegal and this opens processors to a lot of potential risk

      Also, processors definitely do not want restrictions on what they can process. That’s all via public demand and legislation.

        They might insofar as companies all become pro-regulation once they get big because it raises the barriers to entry for potential competition.

        But absolutely, a lot of the problem are people who think “Oh that fetish is gross, therefore it should be restricted!” No. It’s gross to you so don’t watch videos of it.
