So, it seems a large processor or processors are instituting demand-side anti-porn policies, instead of just the supply-side discrimination many banks have had in the past by refusing or freezing our accounts.

That's interesting because I always think of processing a sale as a chain. Meaning, it goes from website form/buyer's cc info to the processer to the merchant bank to Visa or MasterCard. So somewhere along that "chain" things get bottlenecked or jammed somehow. What the reason is, of course, is unknowable and certainly unchangeable. Still, it's very frustrating to have that feeling of helplessness.
