"11月8日、クレジットカードの規律に関し、経済産業省及び金融庁と協議"

"On November 8, we discussed with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Financial Services Agency (FSA) regarding credit card regulations."

"コンテンツ戦略も所管している経産省は、部署間で連携し、なぜアクワイアラ・決済代行会社による表現規制が急拡大しているのか、把握し、対処について検討すべきです。"

"METI, which is also in charge of content strategy, should work with other departments to understand why restrictions on expression by acquirers and payment service providers are rapidly expanding, and consider how to deal with this issue."

"クレジットカードの規律を行っているのは割賦販売法で、経産省が所管"

"The Installment Sales Law regulates credit cards. This falls under the jurisdiction of METI."

"なぜアクワイアラや決済代行会社による表現規制が急拡大しているのか経産省は把握していない"

"METI does not understand why the regulation of expression by acquirers and payment service providers is rapidly increasing."

* regulation of expression

In other words, financial censorship.

In short, a lawmaker met with the regulator to figure out what to do about financial censorship.
