Probably would have been ok if it was an underaged porn star.
After all, Wells Fargo sponsors drag-kids shows: https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/15JU3FH2wP/citibank-wells-fargo-target-and-/c/
In the immortal words of Joe Biden: "Too old!"
I don't give one shit about the welfare of porn makers but I don't think this should be allowed. A law should require the bank dig up and cite individual on-ledger events for their decision, and also have to provide a documentation demonstrating a valid reason for the inevitable gaps between all those events and the actual depersonizing. Valid reasons should be highly limited and humiliating or scandalous (like "we can prove that our company has been behind by x range of time in fulfilling all security functions at this level of priority") so that in order to cancel a person or class of person flippantly they have to expose themselves to healthy risk.

At this point I dont give a shit. The banking system has been weaponized. Maybe they can be trusted when there is a law that bank accounts cant be closed unless 1. The owner is convicted of a crime and 2. That crime involved use of that account beyond normal usage, but even then probably not.
Like cockpit tours, faith in banks is a relic from a more innocent time.
Oh, please - it’s “muh conservatives”
BS - This is coming from the leftists. Anybody remember Obama’s consumer financial protection bureau? Don’t you think the CFPB would be right on top of protecting these accounts? Nope - this is what the CFPB endorses. Social control through banking.
They’re just doing what they always do: accuse their enemy of doing the things they’re actually doing.
“How horrible! Trump is engaging in quid-pro-quo with a foreign government!”
Meanwhile Biden is engaging in quid-pro-quo with a foreign government.
“Oh, no! Christians want a theocracy! The horror!”
Meanwhile the Left is setting up a woke theocracy.
Fuck those stupid sluts.
I hate them because of their politics, not their profession, even tho I find that degenerate.
Perhaps the only porn producing female I've ever seen even pretend to not be a subhuman commie shilling leftoid is Indigo White, what with her getting canceled for MAGA gear in videos.
The rest love leftoidism, love trannies, love faggots, and love being retarded. The day they start being human and having an IQ higher than 70 is the day I'll defend them.
Calm down, judge individuals, and Mercedes Carrera off the top of my head.
So Authrights would be celebrating this, I guess, but not me.
If we had a truly free market, shit like this would be no threat since if bank A doesn't want you, you can choose from banks B through Z. But we don't have a truly free market. We have oligopolies where a small number of huge companies control virtually the entire market, such that it would only take the agreement of a handful of top people at these companies to effectively cut off whole categories of people from the banking system.
We see this in a more extreme sense with free speech online, since there are only a few platforms, and they're all run by the same libtard hivemind, so they always act in concert, such as when they all banned Trump.
It's a dangerous precedent, and the easy solution is a government law that states that LARGE corporations may not discriminate against any customer/user based on their politics, profession, or character.
"muh auth right"
How about you be fucking real for a minute and realize how many of those filthy cunts scream their support for Communism and dismantling the Western world.
I want them to taste the anguish and fear for their life and livelihood. They deserve everything coming to them, maybe the dumb broads will realize how fucking retarded they are.
And if not? Fuckem.
Nothing is "coming to them" because you authrights are never going to win or have any kind of power, so your revenge fantasies will always just be fantasies.
Dude is a coomer based on his comments
It'll never happen because the oligarchies buy politicians and therefore, protection.
If only everyone would work each according to his ability and take only according to his need. A "free market" is as much of a naive utopian pipedream as communism. Arguably even less realistic.
Someone will always have power, that power will always be used. The only question is WHO has power and HOW they are using it. And to accept that if you and people who are your friend don't have the power, your enemies will.
"Free Market" simply implies free of government intervention. Without government protection of industries, those who deserve to be in power could take power. Believe me there are plenty of moneyed people on "our side" who would start their own banking system and compete in new, creative ways if old regulations weren't holding us back.
You're right that it's a pipedream though, because government does exist and will never allow it.
Government IS intervention, you can't separate the two. Even the most basic stuff like contract enforcement or adjudicating disputes or the concept of property rights itself requires a government to insulate individuals against each other's arbitrary definitions of "reasonableness".
I don't disagree. Some forms of intervention are better than others. In this case I think we're talking about industry regulations and the relationship between oligarchs and legislators. I was simply replying to your implication that someone desiring a "free market" believes in no hierarchies or people holding power over others.
But I would add that I think "our side" seizing the means of control and wielding the power of government against our opponents, especially some kind of third-position revolution, is also a pipedream.
Dissident alt-right BTFO. Until pornstar lives matter, no lives matter.
the moneychangers are getting uppity again
Banks can and will shut down your account for any reason. You can have a bank refuse to do business with you because you share a name with someone they don't want to be associated with.
Then all businesses should be free to do so. But that's not the environment we live in right now.
Someone I know who had bad credit called Bank of America once to ask customer service a question, and after being put on hold for a while, the representative came back and said they were cancelling her account as a bad credit risk, told her she'd get her remaining balance as a check, and hung up on her.
Can't imagine a criminal empire doing criminal things.
