VISA blacklists the gab.com website for "hate speech", and also blacklists the CEO personally, and is threatening any other payment processors that Gab tries to use

We were told this week that not only is Gab blacklisted by Visa as a business, but my personal name, phone number, address, and more are all also blacklisted by Visa. If I wanted to start a lemonade stand I wouldn’t be able to obtain merchant processing for it. If my wife wants to start a business she won’t be able to obtain merchant processing because she lives at the same address as me and would be flagged by Visa.

We were told that Visa has someone camping on our website watching our payment processing. As soon as we get a new processor up, Visa finds out who it is on their end and contacts them directly. Visa tells the processor that Gab is flagged for “illegal activity,” and if they do not stop processing payments for Gab they will be heavily fined. When the processor inquires about this alleged “illegal activity,” Visa tells them that Gab has been flagged for “hate speech.”

The Social Credit Score System that is admittedly active in China also exists in the United States. While it is mostly unknown, and might not be sanctioned by the United States government, it most certainly has been deployed by US corporations, who today have more power, data, and control over our lives than our government does.
