Everyone seems to be forgetting (although pointed out by a few insightful posters)
1. Visa is a private company. They can choose not to do business with anyone they so choose. Claiming they are discriminating against you is like claiming the Hun discriminates against you because he won't list certain types of galleries. Get a life.
2. Visa is not a monopoly. They provide a form of payment. By and large, cash, checks, barter, other charge companies, and other forms of payment, when taken togehter, dwarf Visa's share of the payment processing industry. Forget it folks, Visa to paying my bills is nowehere near Microsoft to running my computer.
3. Visa is not an extension of any government, thus, they cannot censor. They just choose not to do business with some of us.
4. Whole fucking industires, very large ones, exist without ever taking a visa card. They do very fine, thank you.
If you want to offer content featuring people shitting on horses while they fuck their girlfriends, be prepared to think outside of the box on your payment solutions, because there are not alot of people that want to do business with you. That, in and of itself, is a significant business advantage if you know how to use it.
And, btw, this has nothing to do with any particular country. By and large, most countries are far more restrictive on acceptable content than the US, for example (I have had this tiresome argument far to often. Just because it is ok to show tits on a Fench beach does not mean the Spanish are friendly to dog fucking). It is just one fucking company deciding what they want to process for. If you wish to offer content that they choose not to process, find another way to get paid.
