Something is wrong with such double standards.
There are plenty of fetish models, producers and actors who would take severe exception to those specific rules.

Exactly...its nothing but a double standard.
Sure, its their own company and they're free to dictate policy however they want...but that doesn't stop us from questioning their censorship practices.
If they cease doing processing for sites that link to sites that contain their banned elements - where does it all end? Hell, I'm willing to wager almost any site that contains links these days will eventually wind up leading to a porn site of one kind or another far downstream.
And while I realize they're also subject to the censorship whims of Visa...there's stuff on that list that isn't outlawed by Visa.
