> I agree, we've got far too many entities that should just be 'dumb pipes' trying to play moral police at the moment

This is one of the positives of capitalism. The only color that matters is green. More competition please.

It's because the police have really failed to enforce existing laws that people have to resort to leaning on ISPs and payment processors to do it.

As far as I know - no laws prohibit adult pornography. Payment processors just decided to enforce their own laws.
