That part I agree with. Payment processors should be legally neutral in what is rapidly becoming a cashless society.

Other than that though, I think platforms should be free to ban smut if they want. I’ve abandoned several sites over time because they became inundated with cartoon smut, which I am not interested in.

Would you a good filtering options, defaulted to SFW be enough for you? That it what I think should be the norm for content hosting platforms.

If I didn’t know it existed then it might as well not exist as far as I’m concerned. I agree that would be a reasonable default but in my experience it either isn’t the case or isn’t effective.

While I agree on principle, I also see the dangers of platforms caving before Evangelical pressure campaigns. And once this is established, the threshold to cross from "ban furry smut" to "ban anything even smelling like LGBT" is much much thinner. My personal patience with and trust in platforms to behave sanely is all but gone.
