"Whatever bro, private company. Start your own domain name service providers and payment processing conglomerates, launch your own satellites and build your own internet."




Quote:Mastercard has reportedly forced funding platform Patreon to kick conservative author and “Jihad Watch” owner Robert Spencer off its site.

“My name is April and I’m on the Trust & Safety team here at Patreon. I’ve been notified by Mastercard that we must remove your account from Patreon, effective immediately,” wrote Patreon in an email to Spencer. “Mastercard has a stricter set of rules and regulations than Patreon, and they reserve the right to not offer their services to accounts of their choosing. This is in line with their terms of service, which means it’s something we have to comply by.”

“I have paid out your remaining creator balance of $475.22 to you via direct deposit,” the company continued. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience and frustration this might cause.”

Despite this, Spencer claimed he doesn’t use Mastercard and didn’t have a Mastercard attached to the Patreon account.

Doesn't matter if he has a mastercard or uses a mastercard with his account. That platform accepts mastercard as a form of payment for users to provide subscription content. The major card brands are a Reich that most people do not know about. Mastercard probably demanded they stop service, if they don't Mastercard could stop accepting charges from that company. Because there are 4 brands of cards, really 2(Visa Mastercard and the others being Amex/Discover) they wield an ungodly amount of power.
Next is performing a "opinion report" as part of the credit check where they deny your credit card request because you followed Alex Jones on Twitter.
Tortuous interference.
