But that's just not the case.
This is totally our fault.
You don't see Visa doing this to mainstream merchants who focus on giving the customer what they want and keeping the customer for life... not having pre-checked cross-sells with shady terminology explaining how you think you're getting charged $1 but you're actually getting charged $110, etc.
The adult industry did this to itself. You've got to pay the piper sooner or later.

Once again...quit flapping and listen for a bit.
No one is saying it is ONLY the government doing this, what they are saying is that there are a combination of factors at play here.
Yes you have rampant fraud in this industry, yes you have rampant CB's in this industry, yes porn does make up a small % of Visa's biz...HOWEVER that does not discount the political atmosphere that we live in today vs what we lived in just a few short years ago.
Didn't the supreme court rule that a CC was sufficient enough to verify someone's age?
Now comes along Visa and you can no longer state that.
Hmm....kinda strange isn't it?
