You could make the same argument about so many different things. E-cigarettes or junk food is not a net win for civilization. What about addictions to video gaming? Donating to political parties that you think are against progress?

It boils down to the fact that you're wanting to let opinions on "how things should be" steer availability of core economic infrastructure, rather than relying on the legal system which is more properly setup to come to these conclusions.

Nah I just said its hard to feel sorry for them. I don't think payment providers should be politically partial.

EDIT Oh PornHub is now implementing the following measures:

a.) allow uploads only from verified users;

b.) no downloads;

c.) improvements in moderation

Maybe I'm actually for this then. Apparently this is what it takes.
