If you're a journalist who listen solely to evangelicals, this sort of patrolling of adult content seems reasonable and easy. If you listen to sex workers —the ones most likely to be harmed — you would understand why it's not.

There's nothing in these new rules that limits this to porn sites. Unless Mastercard clarifies, we should assume this applies to every site that home to adult content on the internet — from Wikipedia to Twitter.
Pornhub, which evangelicals used @NickKristof to take down, complies with all the regulations. (They're still going after it.) The Mastercard rules will take care of the rest — the ones that are responsible, that don't take user-generated content, the small performer platforms.
Always remember the end goal here: to get sex-related content off the internet.
