Fake sexually explicit videos of celebrity women from around the world are still being bought and using Mastercard and Visa credit cards, even though the credit card companies have said the transactions are not allowed. Fan-Topia, the largest subscription website for nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfakes of celebrities, advertises the ability for subscribers to pay creators for the material with Visa and Mastercard credit cards or cryptocurrency.
Visa CEO and chairman Al Kelly said in an August 2022 statement that Visa’s rules “explicitly and unequivocally prohibit the use of our products to pay for content that depicts nonconsensual sexual behavior.” Mastercard also prohibits its products being used to purchase content depicting nonconsensual sexual activity. Visa and Mastercard did not previously respond to questions about Fan-Topia, and did not immediately respond to another request for comment.
