Moody doesn’t seem to care about the abuse or victims that is rampant in the industry, she just wants to get paid.
It would really be ideal if some of these sex workers could get their own platform. Pornhub seems like it was frankly unresponsive on a lot of serious concerns until they were forced to deal with them by the panic articles that went around last month And frankly it seems to me like it's still trivial to go on there and find what seems to me to be a lot of content that has dubious consent or related issues. These perf…
Then they'll go after the platform infrastructure (AWS), or any other fundamental aspect. Peer pressure.
We've been warning for ages: the Cancel Everyone game the NYT and others with very loud voices are playing is a dangerous one.
Similar to the recent actions by Twitter, Google, Apple and Amazon; Visa and Mastercard are private companies and can do whatever they want. Anyone who has an issue with what Visa/MC did must also take issue with the others.

OnlyFans allows them to sell their content directly (not the same as it's up to them to solve the discoverability problem)
In a perfect world, you'd have something like Patreon or OnlyFans that runs like a utility out of a non profit org (such that Signal, Let's Encrypt, Wikipedia, and similar platforms operate as 501(c)(3) non profits). Removing the profit motive removes a lot of room for bad behavior on the part of the platform.

Well yes, and defunding fur trade will put poachers' livelihoods at risk, and defunding Amazon will put Amazon warehouse workers' livelihoods at risk. Jobs will always come and go. New jobs will come.

That's not the problem, as stated in the article. It's payments being cut off by card networks.
The article also says the following. Credit card giants Visa, Mastercard and Discover have blocked all payments to Pornhub, after the adult site was accused of being "infested" with child abuse and rape-related videos. So if PH solves that problem I don't see why they couldn't be back in business.

Same way you ensure any other person isn’t being exploited. Society provides resources allowing the person to have the opportunity to not be leveraged into exploitation as their only option.
Yeah, not so much. North American developed countries aren't shining examples of labor protection champions. I'd refer to parts of Europe [1] and New Zealand [2] on how to protect sex workers in a more substantial way. [1] https://www.nswp.org/sites/nswp.org/files/Declaration_bookle...
