The debanking report put out, they put out a report from the Treasury Department where they're like, oh, these big banks, these horrible banks won't do business with porn companies.

And Ryan, as you know, banks have no morals.

They don't care if you're in porn.

The reason they don't do business with porn is because they're deeply worried that the companies themselves, which have a horrible track record of complying with CSAM regulations and with revenge porn regulation, and in fact, dramatically encourage both.

And that's the reason why they don't wanna do business with the porn, they don't care

whether you're selling porn or not.

This is the same thing that happened with OnlyFans.

They're like, well, we're kind of worried that you don't have nearly enough regulation whenever it comes to this.

Yeah, it is difficult because what I've heard is that a lot of the way that KYC laws are written encourages monopolization in the banking sector.

It's because it's easier to regulate, right?

If you have a big-ass bank, then they're obviously going to have all these monopolizations.

money laundering control.

Like I understand at a conceptual level, but yeah, it was weaponized rhetorically to basically say, actually, no, we shouldn't really have, we should allow these banks to, or we should pressure these banks to do business with everybody.

And in this case, you know, they're using it like it's some, you know, like grand ideological thing.

When in reality, again, the banks don't do business with them for a very good reason.

And in fact, we should encourage the banks not to do business with them.

These are bad industries, like explicitly.

The government should not be out there saying you must, you know, oh, we cannot survive as a nation, you know, if we don't allow the porn companies to get bankrolled.

So I don't know.

I think it's disgusting.
