Visa and Mastercard are risks to the worldwide public due to possible US govt blockage.

UK starting to consider entirely new cards and processing.

IMO, new system should NOT be accessible or blockable by US govt due to security threats posed by the US govt.

Jerry,


All countries would block what they find offensive, such as women in scanty bathing suits in the Middle East.

All countries would leverage other nations with such control, such as China with RRE.

You sure we are guilty of anything?

Yup. Just a matter of the rubber ruler: What is it this time?
