Visa's statement is fully consistent with Paypal's statement today, again https://www.thepaypalblog.com/2012/0...rtain-erotica/ |
Reuters article March 7:
Quote:
PayPal said it was acting in part because banks and credit card companies it works with restrict such content, according to an email PayPal sent to Smashwords on February 24. Reuters obtained copies of the emails.
"Our banking partners and credit card associations have taken a very strict stance on this subject matter," PayPal said in the February 24 email. "Our relationships with the banking partners are absolutely critical in order to provide the online and mobile services we (offer) ... to our customers. Therefore, we have to remain in compliance with their rules, which prohibit content involving rape, bestiality or incest."

Was it wrong for advertisers to pull from Limbaugh's show as an expression of their disapproval, and desire for him to apologize and/or tone things down?

There's a "Rush Limbaugh" topic on the P & R forum.
