Mastercard and Visa Start Banning VPN Providers

[Venn Stone]

Quote:

The new policy went into effect on Monday, leaving customers with a two-day window to find a solution.

While the email remains vague about why this drastic decision was taken, in a telephone call Payson confirmed that it was complying with an urgent requirement from Visa and Mastercard to stop accepting payments for VPN services.

I’m going to get real stabby (well, more than usual) when Doctor WHO rolls around.

Interesting move especially in light of this:

WikiLeaks says MasterCard has unblocked it from receiving donations

This will make bitcoins more popular )

NSA can’t track you once you tunnel into a vpn unless they have a target software on your system. So cut out those using VPN services is their solution. I say get the VPN providers to accept good old cash and mail it to them. Checks are too iffy……
