Either you’re a bank under strict regulations when you’re handling that kind of money, or you have no business processing that kind of money. PayPal & co dodges most regulations due to technically not being a bank, but at that size they shouldn’t be able to abuse loopholes.

Financial networks either need “network neutrality” rules or maybe that monopoly needs to get broken up

Well my adult game content provider uses paypal and they have not been affected by this bullshit.

Is that because of using PayPal, or because they’re small enough to have slid under the radar of these busybodies?
Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 months ago
They aren’t small, they make a shit ton of adult games. I original found their games on Steam. But found you can buy uncensored version straight from the dev. With Steam you had to get a patch.
That’s what makes no sense the adult games on Sream were censored, so there was no prom to begin with. Unless you downloaded a separate patch. And you had to know how to do that.
I hope its PayPal, because if this happens to them fhey are practically out of business. Because all they make is Japanese anime porn games.

No joke. Payment processors absolutely need to be treated as a utility. Stuff like this is exactly why it’s such a big deal to reinstate/protect net-neutrality as well. What we’re watching right now with payment processors isn’t even end-game yet for what they potentially could do, and it already sucks. I can’t even imagine once ISP start doing the same thing. Monopolies are the death of consumer rights. The unabated power, corruption, and corporately bought and controlled laws/ governing bodies makes the entire prospect even worse.

“Common carrier” is the jargon you’re looking for.
