would you be open to chat via email? I'm also in Ontario Canada. Every time I breach this type of thing to a non-IT person, they say "oh, porn sites are all sex trafficking and exploitative work", which doesn't feel mathematically true. I'm not a journalist or anything, but would as personal curiosity love to hear an (ex-)operator's perspective :)

Unfortunately this thread is definitely not the only example of perfectly-legal, but adult-industry[-adjacent] people being cut off from banking. Credit card processing is even worse.
It's not only adult. A huge range of legitimate industries are effectively cut off from easy banking & payment processing. This doesn't prevent those industries from existing, it just protects the monopoly of the large players in those industries, who can afford to have their legal team sit down with the bank / payment processor's legal team.
