Does it matter? It's a private business, they can do what they want, right?



Eh it's kind of relevant. I worked at a high end tobacco sales company and we were limited to a few payment providers due to selling tobacco online. This amounted to using a very second tier provider. Also PayPal would flag anything with the words Cuba in it. So many cigars use the word Cuba, and we didn't sell those. Annoying at best, but at worse we had more frequent downtimes because our payment gateway wasn't close to reliable.
