alt Hacker NewsNo it isn't. It's struggling on the front page because this is a very old story and it's the same conversation every time: payment processors hate this stuff because digital goods are fraud and chargeback magnets, and that's doubly true of adult content.
If U.S. credit-card issuers were worried about fraud, they would have implemented the other half of "chip-&-PIN," which the rest of the world has been using for decades.
U.S. customers pretty much JUST got chips in our cards... but issuers "forgot" to implement the PIN part.
Zero sympathy for this scumbag monopoly.
