    That’s such an unnecessary gotcha response lol. Obviously they are reliant on those payment processors for their revenue, which is the very reason they are complying.

    The point is that those two payment processors essentially run credit card payments in the west, and use that dominance to force their values on their clients.

      to force their values on their clients.

      It’s for sure a dominant oligarchic industry that benefits government and shareholders to the detriment of everyone else.

      But I don’t think they have values. Just cost analysis: the price of litigation and punishment.
