Apologies for YouTuber link - as some of the sources cited are in Japanese, it’s harder to get to a direct English source. The video description includes links to the Yahoo.jp article.

The video makes mention of a change.org petition calling on Visa, Mastercard and the like to ignore that sect trying to create moral outrage. I know Change.org petitions are pretty worthless, but this one already has over 100k signatures: https://www.change.org/p/tell-mastercard-visa-activist-groups-stop-controlling-what-we-can-watch-read-or-play/

    To this day, I don't understand why Visa or MasterCard (or even a "physical" or even virtual card) are necessary. If the banks can't create a global, shared way of processing payments, then the governments should step in and do it for them.

    Generally the world has that. There's SWIFT and EPI in Europe, EPAA in Asia and Pix is South America. The biggest credit card market is North America.
