They couldnt leave gamers alone.. gamers that really dont bother anyone and usually are in their own ecosystem and lala land.
Do they really wanna pick a fight with the global autists that are pissed off they got their schoolgirl hanky panky game or isekai harem game taken away??
The big 4 also had plans to fuck with gun purchases.
The trump administration should just raid them all for seditious conspiracy and nationalize the infrastructure into an open interbank network controlled by the government, decentralizing it as the banks and other card providers would be effectively running their own cards.
another idea, as an alternative to straight up nationalization, would be to simply grant payment processors complete immunity while classifying the refusal to process a payment as an unlawful business practice.
if necessary, also require them to make financial records available to law enforcement with a warrant (I'm pretty sure this is already in place) so that illegal goods and services can still be found in prosecuted.
This way they have no excuse to refuse service beyond, and any attempts to do so reveal them as the meddling scumbags they are.
I've been saying this for a while, it's the perfect middle ground. They get freedom from liability and we get freedom to purchase and sell whatever legal goods and services we want with OUR OWN money.
