Like, maybe not because of censorship per se, but maybe for abusing their power as an oligopoly or going against the desire of their users?

    IIRC, BRICS were trying to establish/have already made a international paying system like VISA/MC. Maybe they’ll reach the West. Up until then, our hands are tied.

      In Indonesia, there are localised payment system, called “Gerbang Pembayaran Nasional” (GPN) (in English: “National Payment Gateway”), and already applied and start to be commonly used since 2018.

      From Indonesian wiki:

      GPN localizes the banking payment system in Indonesia, which was previously present in international payment products such as Visa and Mastercard.

      I heard, atleast a Japanese online stores is also start to accepting Indonesian payment system/method too.

      I think, there are similar system in Russia too, since what I know, Visa & Mastercard cease its operation on there due to the ongoing conflicts.
