I vaguely recall hearing about when Visa went after Fetlife. My memory is fuzzy and there's some gaps in the story clearly though. I absolutely recall they nuked a bunch of groups to immediately comply with their payment processor's demands, then when forging a more permanent policy on such things, I think they decided "You know what? Screw them, come what may"

But now that I look at them now, they ban those topics so I guess they tripled back on that?

I was saying elsewhere I knew of exactly one site that told payment processors to go heck themselves when told to ban certain content from their site. Turns out that didn't last, or I misremembered.

Anyone have more detail on that entire story?
