They expect VISA will follow suit.

  Source? Or are you just assuming?

    I believe that it's an assumption for now, but a reasonable one to make. I think it's unlikely that Visa exposes itself to legal risks where MasterCard is not - why give your competitor an edge like that?

      That assumes that there actually are legal risks, and that there isn’t more money to be made by continuing to process these payments.

        For Mastercard and Visa the money to be made is a rounding error on a rounding error, there are lots of other industries that don't have the same PR risks as adult content does.

    There's a fair amount of precedent. Recently it's what happened to pornhub... these evangelical groups put general pressure on the industry and when one company folds the focus on the others ramp up. Mastercard and Visa compete pretty closely so neither wants to be "the one that's ok with sex trafficking" (total bs, but how it's framed) and end up with more regulatory scrutiny than the other.
