> Visa and MasterCard then pressured PayPal to cease providing payment services to MEGA.

Would love to know more about this. Why did two other companies pressure another company? State assisted anti-competition? Missing out on transaction fees?

Why are two of the biggest payment companies pressuring a smaller payment company out of money they decided to step out of?

Is the free market we want to build not really a free or fair market, but one where you are free to destroy the free and fair market for other competitors? If one person pressured another person that would be intimidation yet when that person is a larger corporation it is not seen as being a mafioso bully?




Because they were pressured by the government. Who were pressured by a different company. Who pay for elections.
