Stripe Discriminates Against Witches

I'm honestly not sure which sub-forum to put this in.

But:
Stripe Discriminates Against Witches
Payment processing companies decide who is empowered to buy and sell online—and their policies show a gross misunderstanding of metaphysical practitioners.

Lady gives advice based on non-psychic Tarot readings and is banned for providing psychic services.

Walks like a duck -- quacks like a duck?

Hard to get too upset about this IMO. Stripe has a legitimate business interest to not facilitate scammers. Even though many "fortune teller" types are pretty upfront about only providing what is essentially an entertainment product, seems like a reasonable use of discretion for Stripe to prefer taking a wide berth of any scammy activity.

I would dispute the claim that Stripe's policy shows even a slight misunderstanding of metaphysical practitioners.

From her website:

"tarot is a tool for self-exploration: a way to connect with our own intuition, a method of learning about ourselves and understanding what drives and shapes us. with both simple readings and more complex spreads, the cards can communicate advice, opportunities, warnings, and deep insight into situations, connections, and relationships."

Nope, not upfront about the fact that it's just make-believe.

Might just as well use tea leaves.
