Wow, main stream society doesn't want to associate with a company that harbors extremists. I'm shocked.
So many commenters on this are jumping to a slippery slope fallacy as if Stripe has any moral imperative to uphold free speech. They are a private company and have their own reasons to disassociate from any client they wish. That is their prerogative, and as long as they are not discriminating against anything that is a federally protected class (and last I checked, hosting porn is not federally protected) they can cut off services to anyone.
