Paedophiles face cancelled cards
"Credit and debit card firms will find it easier to cancel the cards
of online paedophiles under a planned new law.
Cancellation will be on the grounds that using cards to purchase child
pornography breaches the issuer's terms and conditions.
The move has long been urged by charities and card issuers.
The amendment to the Data Protection Act was discussed in the House of
Lords on Tuesday and has the support of the government.

No card provider wants to be associated with those who commit these
crimes
Paul Marsh, Apacs
........................
As the Data Protection Act currently stands, card issuers do not know
when their cards are used to access child pornography.
The amendment will allow card issuers to receive information on card
usage from the police.
The issuers said this will free them to terminate the contract with
the cardholder and cancel the cards.
"No card provider wants to be associated with those who commit these
crimes," said Paul Marsh, director of cards and fraud control at the
Association of Payment Clearing Services (Apacs).
"With this change in the law our members will have the information
they need to remove offenders' cards. They will not be able to use the
same cards to offend again."

This new restriction has many potentials.

And expanded with the stroke of a pen.
