If MasterCard doesn't have control over the NSFW bans, there is an easy way to solve this:

Announce that they are explicitly allowing NSFW purchases.

If they won't do that, then one of two things are true:

  • MasterCard doesn't have control over its process, to which point investors should question what value they provide
  • MasterCard is lying and they do have control over its processes, to which point merchants and consumers should question how much they can trust a company that will ban certain categories of purchases
