The problem is that they are a cartel, so we get in a place where a group of private businesses can dictate who can make money.
I think it’s a great idea in theory that as a payment processor you can have influence on social changes. I think businesses should have clear ethics so that I can support those that match my own. If there were 50 processors to choose from that all had niches and different ethics, fine. But we have in reality one processor with finger puppets on asking us which puppet we like best.
They shouldn’t be allowed to do that. They should be required to process any legal payment. Even the icky ones.
i agree. However, they’ll continue to get away with it because it aligns with republican psuedo-christian ideals of oppression.
