Visa is about protecting their brand. Selling a book that's a classic is fine within their brand strategy, selling a membership to a site called Lolitas is not within their brand strategy.
The site is called "Erotic BPM" and on that site they have a place where models or members can list their favorite books and one of them listed the book Lolita.

Do you think that Visa should ban adult sites from having forums because some member might talk about a movie, book, or news story that might offend someone?

What about the example of GFY itself? People here talk about everything you can imagine - should this forum be banned by Visa from processing? What about sites linked from it?
