So nude is OK but it may not sexually explicit?
That seems like a very fine line to walk, with much associated drama.

This is absolutely ridiculous. What if they decide people can no longer buy dildos or lube or condoms or guns or alcohol or meat on Fridays? There’s no law with respect to “payment neutrality”??
That is called democracy and yes there are a lot of things that are not sold. General public agrees that explicit material is bad. Right now we have in Poland shops closed each Sunday - it is annoying for me. Selling alcohol in Norway is heavily restricted and I see more and more restrictions on alcohol sales in Poland. Explicit material is tied a lot to money laundering, there is also a lot of scams tied to it and l…

1. Freedom of Speech extends to all parties in a relationship 2. Freedom of speech includes choosing who I work with 3. It makes sense to have certain restrictions on freedom of speech, especially as it relates to clearly harmful discrimination (i.e. racial discrimination, gender discrimination) 4. It does not make sense to restrict freedom of speech in the case of pornography, specifically, whether a company can cho…
Wow, you spend years thinking crypto is convoluted nonsense…and then something comes along that impacts a lot of your friends, and you start to change your mind. I have a fair number† of friends and acquaintances who have OnlyFans. Some for side income, some for a substantial portion of their livelihood. And to see that get taken away because the payment processors want them to fall in line…I guess I’m on the crypto…

"This is all garbage" followed by "Oh, it happened to me or my loved ones and now it's not garbage" is such a classic pattern across so many controversial topics. I wonder how we can be more open minded as a society while still keeping enough skepticism to not accept literal garbage.
Ostensibly, payment providers block this type of thing because it has higher fraud risk, but this makes me wonder: do countries where credit is less fundamental to payments have the same problem? My understanding is that in the UK, for example, you could make a deposit to a betting site with the same payment card you use to buy milk, since it's more secure than a credit card and the counterparty assumes less risk.
May people do have one (55%) as it sometimes comes with a payment package, but they are generally frowned upon as tech from the stone age and insecure.

I'm not against the promises of crypto - but the tech so far has failed to deliver anything but a platform to streamline illegal activity, asset speculation bubbles and a whole bunch of wasted energy/hardware along with reliving the problems people had historically with bank fraud in free banking and the likes (banks printing their own notes without cover till you get a bank run - this is why central banks were invented ...)
