Collective Shout, a small but vocal lobby group, has long called for a mandatory internet filter that would prevent access to adult content for everyone in Australia.

Discover, American Express, Diner’s Club, and the one that still rules them all, Cash. There are probably others, but Visa and Mastercard are the two largest.

There are a lot of places going cashless these days. Heck some of my kids friend went to target and couldn’t buy anything because target didn’t have the staff to run anything but the self checkout, which at this place didn’t accept cash. They had to leave empty-handed.
Diners club hasn’t been available to normal people and small businesses for years now. It’s basically a large business company card only thing nowadays.
