Unless it's de facto illegal, payment processors should be business agnostic. You can make arguments that it's their platform, their business, they can do whatever they want - but that goes for insurance companies and everyone else we want to act neutrally.

If the payment processors really cared about children, they would be banning companies that sell guns, not video games with boobs in them.

If you're in the UK there is a parliament.uk petition to "Ban payment processors stopping services based on objections to legal content": https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/734441

Is this any different than the previous takes and discussions 2 months ago?
