Introduction

Whilst Pornography is frequent including in sin-list investments rules, in reality there are very few publicly traded companies directed involved in pornography production. There is also the reality that anyone can now become a pornography producer, armed only with a webcam and some internet access.

We adopt a 3-way approach of looking at pornography

Payment Processors

Payment processors have disassociated themselves with these sites.

Some payment companies such as PayPal will not process payments to adult sex material sites.

In 2018 Patreon announced that it was making efforts to disassociate itself with adult material creators, due to pressure from payment processors and banks.

Credit card companies Mastercard and Visa issued a payment freeze on MindGeek sites in December 2020, ceasing to process payments amid concerns over unlawful content found on these sites.
