Unless I'm misunderstanding an outlined point somewhere.

What I mean, and don't get me wrong I don't think they could actually do it but it's best to look at worst case when it involves your business.
The US govt could simply put pressure on the credit card companies to not allow them to be used to buy what the govt might consider obscene products online or where ever.
They could simply set a fine for each actual purchase so it would make the CC companies decide to not allow there cards to be used to buy porn online.
If you look back at one of the first cases that the Patriot Act was used for it was against Pay Pal because they were processing for online gambling. Soon after PayPal stopped allowing their service to be used for both online gambling and adult products or services. The exact same thing could easily happen with credit cards in a worst case scenario.
