I don't know who even downvotes a post revealing how payment companies are permissing transactions for child sex abuse material?
This REALLY supports the idea of 'thou does protest too much' as they have been HEAVILY trying to deny service to force censorship of Japanese FICTIONAL media and culture but completely fine with allowing REAL child abuse payments through their services for Onyfans.
I hope the get investigated by the Government as we already see Trump has got his eye in with banks denying services for ideological reasons.
They don't. Beyond even corruption, you need to remember that banks have always effectively operated as utilities. They don't refuse to allow pedophiles, terrorists, convicted felons, or even currently serving felons to not have bank accounts. Yes, they shouldn't support illegal transactions, but they don't do any real monitoring to prevent that.
Which is why this corporate continuance of Obama's Operation Chokepoint is so galling.
This isn't censorship. It's worse. It's a de-banking effort that is just a continuation of the norm that Operation Chokepoint set. There are industries that certain political groups want demonetized. They close Nigel Farage's multi-million dollar accounts because he's "politically controversial", but they don't close the accounts of convicted pedophiles who are in prison.
Let's not forget that Donald Trump had to pardon the founder of Silk Road because he didn't prevent illegal transactions on his site that he refused to monitor. MasterCard and Visa are always allowed to support illegal transactions that they refuse to monitor because MasterCard and Visa have friends in the government.

I would assume the same ol rule of "blame others for what you are doing" applies here, ie they are actual pedophiles.

Might be worth investing in Amex and Discover.
