My thoughts on Visa/Mastercard and the future of credit cards and porn - GoFuckYourself.com

vidsweb · 04-26-2002, 07:26 PM

Online porn has been around long enough now that I think if Visa and Mastercard were going to stop processing for porn sites they would already have stopped by now.

Also, I think there is less fraud in the porn industry now then there was like 3-4 years ago, and as the years go by there will be even less fraud. This industry used to be like the old wild west and the gold rush days, but now its turning into a very well established industry with well established companies.

There probably was a time where Visa and Mastercard considered getting out of the porn processing industry. They probably thought "well, we can call it quits now and be done with porn processing, or we can stay in this and find new and innovative ways to reduce fraud and chargebacks." I think they have chosen to stay in the game for the long haul, and they are continually working on new ways to reduce fraud and chargebacks.

Fraud and chargebacks are the porn industry's biggest problem. Any good businessman (or woman) knows that where there are problems there are opportunities.

Visa and Mastercard aren't stupid, they know there's a HUGE opportunity to make shitloads of money in the online porn industry, and they want every fucking cent of it. Its good to see that they have stuck it out this long, and they didn't pussy out like shitty American Express.

Who said they're censoring the internet?

If by "censoring the internet" you mean not processing for websites that have themes such as beastiality, rape, and kiddie porn, I think they're trying to protect themselves from any potential legal liability surrounding those issues.

I don't blame them for that. Besides, are you really upset that you can't get some good animal fucking or 12 year old naked girls?

I know I don't wanna see that shit, and I don't like the idea of anyone profiting from it either.

Don't say stuff like that. You're going to be labelled a godless nazi fascist who likes nothing more than to stomp on people's civil rights.

I honestly think Visa stopped processing for those types of sites because they could be sued for knowingly making profits from illegal material.

I definatly don't blame them for stopping processing on those sites.. I would too if it were my decision.
