The David Horowitz Freedom Center has had their donation processing system blocked by Visa and Mastercard allegedly following a campaign by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The David Horowitz Freedom Center stated in a recent email that its ability to accept donations by credit card has been disabled by both Visa and Mastercard following a campaign by the SPLC to label the Freedom Center as a hate group. This situation comes shortly after Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch was forced off the funding platform Patreon following pressure from Mastercard.

The Freedom Center is the next target of the SPLC, and they are using Mastercard and Visa again in their attempt to shut down conservative voices. In an email sent to supporters, Horowitz outlined how the SPLC had convinced Mastercard and Visa to block the Freedom Center from receiving payments and donations via credit card. In the email, Horowitz requested that supporters send donations via check to a P.O. Box.

They have to bake the cake. It’s the law.

This ought to be actionable for big bucks and worth doing because of the deep pockets of SPLC and the Credit Card companies.

Trump needs to give his employee Sessions a direct order regarding this... Hopefully Sessions will refuse...

[TXSearcher]

Guess this is how the Socialists plan to takeover?

[Neidermeyer]

......... because of the deep pockets of SPLC and the Credit Card companies. and GEORGE SOROS who directs these groups.

Their anti-firearm stance was one nail in the coffin. This is the second.

[Major Matt Mason]

Time to file more lawsuits against the SPLC, then.

[M Kehoe]

This is getting out of control.

I hope everyone will live through it.

When nobody fights back, they're not going to stop. And their definition of "hate group" is going to keep growing and growing.

[Silentgypsy]

Y’all, now is the time to demonstrate what happens when conservatives wield their economic power. I’ve already begun. Please spread the word.

Wow. Sounds like it’s time to sue the bejesus out of the that HATE GROUP!

Horowitz requested that supporters send donations via check to a P.O. Box.

Which suggests the next two sets of private companies who will pile on: Those that are somewhere in the critical paths of 1) the check-clearing system and 2) the mail delivery system.
