I don't really get how this thing works, but I heard JCB uses their own infrastructure (network?) domestically and just piggyback off of Visa and/or MasterCard overseas. Is it as simple as JCB just saying hey we wanna let people living outside Japan apply for their cards?

The lack of forethought when casually allowing broad censorship.

PS: I'm really surprised by the amount of downvotes given the platform we're on so I have to assume my meaning wasn't as clear as I first thought.

Your answer does reveal that I may not have understood your previous message, but it only confuses me more...

What are the 2 sides we are talking about here?
