That said, curious if others have any thoughts about the externalities of this.

How come?

Because it might help limit easy, mass distribution of child molestation, rape, etc. videos.
I dunno, seems like the vast, vast majority of "for the children" initiatives rarely end up accomplishing what they say they will, and mostly just end up limiting the freedom of people totally blameless in such things.
this will do nothing to stop that, what it will do is further empower banks, fintech and chokepoint monopolies to curtail what speech and whose business is allowed on the internet in a manner that just so happens to to completely appeal to the whims of anti-queer, anti-sex, anti sexworker moralists in the halls of power.

i have never met an extremely online anti-pedo person who wasn't the most specious kind of kony2012 virtue signaller.

Because he's not a fan of enabling kiddie porn, rape videos, and worse?

Read the NY Times article that sparked this.

There isn't a video or image sharing service that doesn't have to deal with child porn getting uploaded. Nobody is going to be perfect on stopping that either. From kids uploading explicit content of themselves to tiktok and snapchat to people cross-uploading random videos they found from other porn sites purely for the ego of the view count to actual intentional spreading of childporn.

pornhub is not the only user upload powered adult site out there, they just happened to be one of the few that actually has and enforced rules against extreme content like rape, so i don't know why they got targeted other then they are #1.

Are you against the internet? Surely there's no larger enabler than the broad internet
It's not about me, or my views. I'm merely giving a possible reason for his sentiment. Your hyperbole is meaningless.
Not seeing how it's hyperbole, nor how it would be meaningless.
Exactly.
