That's three different entities:
Whoever is supplying content to PornHub has to uphold the law. They do that by providing evidence that there are no minors in the adult content (easy for a legit business) and that they hold copyright (somehow this gets forgotten).
PornHub has to uphold the law. They do this by keeping records supplied by the content producers about verification of actor's ages; when there's a problem, they need to remove the content. If there's a recurring problem, they need to bar the source.
MasterCard has to uphold the law. They do that by investigating complaints, and if they find illegal content, they send PornHub a warning. If PornHub doesn't act, either by showing that the content is legal or by removing it, MC has to drop PH.

- bush-bby 4y agoI mean…risk vs reward here. I think I’d rather a bunch of “above board” pornography be accidentally banned so that even just one child getting raped/molested/assaulted doesn’t become digitalized and consumed by people.
- salawat 4y agoQuestion: Would it be better for the abuse to happen but not be digitalized and distributed such that there was some hope of said child being rescued by authotities after an investigation is kicked off by someone reporting it? You have to think through things completely. Out of sight, out of mind doesn't mean that child doesn't get abused. It just means you don't see it. What you're championing is really "I'm fine if a everyone else's ability to see content I don't care about is jeopardized in order to ensure I never ever see this type of content I do care about." Which is counterproductive fundamentally, as I assume the welfare of the child is more important than the taboo'd digital artifact, correct? If you can't find it, you can't do anything about it, or pass it along to someone who can.
