gollark: How is this not constantly exploited everywhere?
gollark: If you have someone's credit card number and some details you can just... arbitrarily pull money from it and they can't stop it without lots of effort, and you need to give people it to pay for anything?
gollark: To be honest the infrastructure for online payments seems broken and moronically designed and I don't understand how it works.
gollark: Wait, I could just have a box where people can send me credit card numbers.
gollark: What, providing services people are willing to pay for? Ridiculous. And I would need to do payment processing, which would require legal stuff, and making my servers/data actually secure, and it would be annoying.
