Disappointing debut which ignores a critical fact: credit card companies and banks have driven most ideological "deplatforming," not the payment processors which sit atop them. People have tried running their own processors and failed for this very reason.

It's not like the days when porn sites were relegated to CCBill so they'd be out of sight, but their delicious shekels still flowed. Now MasterCard even tells Discover and Paypal who not to do business with.

You're going to need your own payment processor, your own credit instruments, your own bank or credit union (good luck getting your charter, racist), your own good old boys in the State legislature, your own guy down in the swamp to tickle the ears of honorable gentlemen, and your own country to not be locked out of. In other words, it requires terrorism. Do they take payments from Gitmo?
