Yes. But some countries includes the United States, and US states, and others. There is an established relation between the US government and payment processors to shut down activity the government doesn’t like but either can’t or hasn’t make illegal.
Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content

It’s not at all countries, with the recent round of censoring on Steam and Itch it was an Australian TERF/SWERF advocacy group called Collective Shout. But other policy changes have been linked to their sister orgs in places like the US. They got 1000 people to complain until the policy was changed.

They at least took credit, but I’m guessing there was pressure from other areas as well. Hopefully this campaign will help reverse this policy.
