This is lame. Mastercard telling people what not to by is outrageous but not the first time they've done this.

What else have they done? I had no idea this was even legal.
they did it with pornhub at least
Payment providers should not be able to control what users are or are not allowed to purchase with their cards. It's a downward spiral. Electronic payment is a necessity in nowadays life.
As long as it's a legal transaction, the providers should STFU.
Payment processors have a functional monopoly and should not be permitted to refuse or otherwise be punitive to any category of purchase.
I think I'm going to make it a goal to stop using these companies. I think credit cards should be banned as predatory actually, or at least heavily restricted.
That's a very dumb business move, it might be illegal for then to do that in Canada
It should be illegal for a company to limit what you can purchase anywhere in the world.
Under the law, they literally have to limit transactions for illegal goods, otherwise they become complicit in that crime.
The real stupidity is that Marijuana is still illegal under federal law.
Ok, I’ll just switch, they already ban porn purchases 👍
Cannabis users should move to ban Mastercard.
