I think an argument can be made that a duopoly should not be able to prevent people from purchasing legal stuff, like NSFW content that payment processor may find objectionable. This practice is a violation of user privacy and anti-ownership (ownership of money!).

For example, there is a major difference in PayPal censorship vs Well Fargo/BoA censorship vs Visa/Mastercard censorship. I narrowed the focus to Visa/Mastercard due to their global reach and lack of consumer alternatives; whereas banks and fintechs have feasible alternatives.<br /> <br /> Additionally, some companies follow a trend to censor, such as the WikiLeaks financial blockade. This sort of group censorship, even when it's done by a group of banks (WF, BoA, etc) rather than the large duopoly of Visa/MC, may still be within scope since it leaves consumers with no valid alternatives.
