Collective Shout, a small but vocal lobby group, has long called for a mandatory internet filter that would prevent access to adult content for everyone in Australia. Its director, Melinda Tankard Reist, was recently appointed to the stakeholder advisory board for the government’s age assurance technology trial before the under-16s social media ban comes into effect in Australia in December.
Diners Club is Discover, and they got bought up by Capital One a couple months ago. So you’ll only really have Amex left.
Amex is expensive as fuck for shop owners. I’d boycott them too.
It’s more visa and MasterCard are cheaper by abusing their duopoly and connections. While amex is the normal costs.
What’s wrong with Capital One? I feel like Discover/Capital One / Diner’s Club network is a good thing for Discover customers.
What benefits would Discover customers get from Capital One’s acquisition? Discover acceptance in the US has been almost on-par with Visa/MC for many many years.
Remember that Discover is self-banked (unlike Visa/Mastercard that banks sign up with). This means that every credit line needs to be backed by… well … A bank.
Bigger banks mean more credit opportunities, better interest rates (etc. etc). Deeper credit lines.
