I think you're misunderstanding. The problem is that payment processors will not do business with "unsavory" customers. It's not about curation or moderation, it's that any porn-adjacent business is locked out of the economy.

Me scrolling through gab won't make visa more accepting.

Gab has it’s own payment processor, open to others, no need to rely on Mastercard and to be locked out of economy. Or so it seems to me.

- only works in USA

- no fraud protection

- no e-commerce integration

- a couple months old

Maybe it'll catch on and grow, but this is not currently a solution.

I mean at the end of the day payment processors are private businesses, they can do business with who they want. If you don't like the alternative, then you're free to give your business to the entrenched power.

Payment processors are regulated by the government.
