Much like FOSTA-SESTA before, this is a massive strike against user-generated content online, and the free expression of controversial speech. This is literally the "think of the children" argument finely weaponized against the open internet yet again.

Just as Visa and MasterCard were able to extrajudicially convict Wikileaks, we see them again being used as the cudgel to bring Pornhub in line with nonexistent regulations.
