I can't tell one way or the other if people have forgotten that SESTA/FOSTA passed in 2018. All of this is consequence of that law working as intended (not as described; it's supposed to stop human trafficking, but those supporting it made no bones about their position that if it chilled all online pornographic content, they didn't care). All of these companies pivoted hard because hosting previously-legal content may now be a federal crime, and nobody wants to get dragged through the mud of that legal case. Until and unless that changes, this is the new status quo in the United States (and therefore, much of the Internet). Matt on Tumblr seems to have missed that even if a company does all the things on his list, their owners could still end up in prison if they are aware that any pornography on their sites was "facilitating sex trafficking," which is an extremely broad category (is someone using racy pictures as advertisement for face-to-face meetups? Oops, go to jail; Section 230 protections were specifically stripped out for that case and if it violates state law in the state you're operating in, the state the poster is in, or the state the viewer is in, you're now liable as the site operator!).
