Like, maybe not because of censorship per se, but maybe for abusing their power as an oligopoly or going against the desire of their users?

    In Indonesia, there are localised payment system, called “Gerbang Pembayaran Nasional” (GPN) (in English: “National Payment Gateway”), and already applied and start to be commonly used since 2018.

    From Indonesian wiki:

    GPN localizes the banking payment system in Indonesia, which was previously present in international payment products such as Visa and Mastercard.

    I heard, atleast a Japanese online stores is also start to accepting Indonesian payment system/method too.

    I think, there are similar system in Russia too, since what I know, Visa & Mastercard cease its operation on there due to the ongoing conflicts.
