Via LukeFord.com:
a deal has been cut between VISA/Mastercard & the government. the govt will reform bankruptcy regulation, on the condition that visa & mastercard cease providing credit card billing for online porn websites. this has been in the pipeline for a couple of years now. its the bush administrations way of destroying the porn biz without all the constitution mess

Are you high? Where did you read that on lukeford?
Second thing, if netporn went away, half the internet would lose traffic. Government doesn't want it to go away, they want to regulate it.

The article said nothing about getting rid of porn on the web, it only states that web porn would become very unprofitable... overnight.
No credit card processors, no point in running porn sites.
And would you really put it past a bunch of ass backward Republican Christian Right Wing wackos to cut their nose off spite their face?
I did not say it was true. Merely reposting what I read. If it is true, we will all be back to our day jobs.

This is bullshit. This would/could never happen! Visa/MC are world wide! The US does not control the world. Don't believe everything you hear! Read it, sit back, think about it, then post. This was not worth your time.

Nothing to loose sleep over boys and girls.
You just throw everything behind a dialer and ya problem is solved!
In fact if CC billing was to drop dead on pornsites It would hurt the Visa's and The mastercards even more then it would hurt us. A large chunk of the online revenue for these CC processors are comming from our Smut http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
It's interesting reading but no more then that http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

wolfshade well said! I 100% agree! You are not going to convince me that Visa/Mastercard does not make billions (yes I sad BILLIONS) a year off pron. Do you really think that they are going to cut their own throats? I doubt it (=

Shane94, the money argument is kinda invalid if what they get from the government is worth the money they would lose.
But surely it would be a censor to what people can and can not buy with their money?
