I don't use Gab, but I heard they lost all ability to take payment this week, when Visa shut them down. The same happened to Wikileaks a while back. I don't think a small number of corporations should decide who I can give my money to or not.

It sounds like Visa is trying to comply with some kind of US law, and isn't explaining well what it is. I would like to know, actually.

There is no US law that obliges a payment processor to atop providing services because of the content of communications.

In fact such a law would be unconstitutional.
