Putting the ridicoulous idea that governments are fair and transparent aside, payment processors need to be international. Otherwise, most countries will not be able to access services because their local payment processor is not supported by smaller websites.
However, the payment processors should be regulated with something similar to net neutrality so they can’t discriminate payments. And EU could probably launch a government run competitor to dilute their duopoly.

Really the only time they should be even allowed to discriminate on payment is when it is suspected to be part of a crime.
Well, yes. I just did not consider them to be the ones discriminating if it is against the law, but the government.
