I am of the opinion that censorship is always a net negative. Unfortunately, the credit card companies are aggressively pursuing pornography in general. Any excuse is enough. It’s reasonable to expect EroScripts would be unable to pay its hosting bill or renew the domain name registration in the future if this content is not removed.
If you want to speak out about this issue, write to Mastercard and Visa. It likely won’t help - and your name will go on a few watchlists - but that’s who is really to blame.
It’s frustrating the views of a few individuals make such an impact.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
