They're trying to prevent the law from being used against them. From the article:
A federal judge in California on Friday denied Visa’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit by a woman who accuses the payment processor of knowingly facilitating the distribution of child pornography on Pornhub and other sites operated by parent company MindGeek.
- nickff 4y agoThe real costs here are not from the expected outcome of the lawsuit (which is unlikely to succeed), but from the discovery and other legal costs. When large companies are defendants/respondents in lawsuits like this, the costs of going to trial are astronomical. I think Visa doesn't mind the law as much as the legal system.
