Sorry, you've lost me, I can only assume you're talking about online gambling. VISA/MC still accept online gambling charges from US citizens, they simply process them offshore where the US government would have to fight the WTO, which they have already done unsuccessfully. If the government (in a highly unlikely move) wants to ban .com adult sites from being accepted merchants for VISA/MC then first they have to go through the relevant channels (which i'm sure the FSC will oppose) then the processing will move offshore, just like gambling.

If they wanted to make it illegal to process VISA/MC for online adult, they would have done it by now. .XXX does nothing negative to the adult industry, it's voluntary.
