Calling Visa today for mine! I don't play those games, but I hate the precedent. It is not a payment processor's job to dictate what can and can't be done. (Now, I have worked FinTech for many years, there is a legit risk they are taking that the feds would blame them however -) it should be on the company selling the product itself, and any decent legal team at a payment processor would be able to handle it like a normal Tuesday.
They don't really have this excuse though because the products that they are banning are legal in the jurisdictions in which they're banning them.
They've been really coy about this, they're really trying to push the idea that adult content is illegal and therefore it's totally nothing to do with them. It's the standard right-wing tactic of just blatantly lying in the vague hope that somehow it'll become true.
Is what these scumbags always do when they didn't really think it through and are now being called out on it.
