I’m calling to urge you to immediately end your new policy that unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers even more vulnerable. I’m also asking you to sit down with stakeholders- specifically sex workers and adult content creators- to develop solutions that ensure equitable access to financial services, create stability, and reduce harm for sex workers.
Yup, it has much broader implications than just porn. If payment processors are allowed to gatekeep how people legally spend their money, then there’s nothing stopping them from targeting other “undesirable” businesses. It’s basically the Net Neutrality situation all over again.
