Call for credit card freeze on porn sites
 

"Major credit card companies should block payments to pornographic sites, according to a group of international campaigners and campaign groups who say they work to tackle sexual exploitation.

A letter seen by the BBC, signed by 10 campaigners and campaign groups, says porn sites "eroticise sexual violence, incest, and racism" and stream content that features child sexual abuse and sex trafficking.

One leading site, Pornhub, said "the letter [was] not only factually wrong but also intentionally misleading."

Mastercard told the BBC they were investigating claims made in the letter on pornography sites and would "terminate their connection to our network" if illegal activity by a cardholder was confirmed.

The letter was sent to 10 major credit card companies, including the "Big Three", Visa, MasterCard and American Express. The signatories from countries including the UK, US, India, Uganda and Australia have called for the immediate suspension of payments to pornographic sites."

Feminists I suppose ? ?

I'd block it 20 years ago. Porn is free now and nobody has to pay for sexual exploitation. Slaves have no salaries.

So tubes don't generate any income? :upsidedow

These dumb feminazis clearly don't understand that 50% of content on Pornhub are scenes shot directly by models or amateur couples, with mobile phones. What violence?

These feminists are just pissed they are not attractive and cannot get laid. End of story.

Right. For a group all about women's empowerment, they are absolutely clueless to the fact that this would be screwing over thousands of independent women in the industry.

People will just move to Bitcoin and use their credit cards there if they had to

Not via credit cards for sure. They make money on bank wires from very-very-very stupid idiots who pay them for ads (a spoiler: those ads don't work).

No guys I think if the boys mentorship program of uganda wants it we should really consider it :thumbsup

"Premium Accounts" :2 cents:

That is against human rights for porn

Yep, and on long term would be good as BTC does not have huge processing fees and no chargebacks.

... an how is it made? Also for free ? Please elaborate :2 cents:

Really? And those "idiots who pay them" don't promote sites that rely on credit cards?? :1orglaugh:upsidedow

...not to mention premium channels, models selling their own content, clips stores (Xhamster) and cam programs run straight by the tubes. Do you think the payments are wire transfers? :1orglaugh

Anti humanity :helpme

What were they doing looking at the boobie machine in the first place.
