Sorry, but you are WAY, WAY off.

Online adult represents about 0.3% of VISA revenues (that's 3 tenths of one percent), Walmart, by itself, processes 5 times more through VISA than all the adult on the intenet.

At the same time adult internet is responsible for as much as 20% of fraud and chargbacks. Why should VISA MC keep on processing adult? Would you? The credit card companies couldn't care less about "alienating" people that like to visit porn sites either, they have a much bigger issue with not hurting their corporate image.

Amex pulled out of adult years ago......just you wait
That's not the point, the point is the percentage of male cardholders who wish to join an adult site at some point in their lives. Any CC company in their right minds will NOT alienate these customers. I have read that it is upwards of 50% of male customers who will join at least one site in their lives. Why does everyone love "THE SKY IS FALLING" threads so much?
