Is it either a form of discrimination that doesn’t line up with any protected class, or a bona fide discrimination against areas that have a high chargeback rate?
I’m interested in how much the morals we don’t like line up with the cold stats we would follow.
Sex workers are effectively a subset of women. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a protected class. My personal sense of justice leads me to think that there should be some amount of protection for any worker, even if the powers that be disagree.
Yes, though sex workers aren't workers of an employer, who give worker's rights. I'd like greater amounts of protection, but is requiring Visa and Mastercard to do business the right move?
Yes, they should be common carriers.
Not sure why you're downvoted. I've never heard any definition of 'class' that would make sex workers one. It's a profession, not a class.
They've been doing it with firearms manufacturers and retailers for a while.
It wasn’t that long ago that discrimination on the part of banks was required by the government.
Right? It’s the old, they’re a private enterprise, they can kick you off their platform if they want to (AWS, GoDaddy, for example, or even YouTube).
