That one was due to pornhub supposedly not doing any content management to make sure illegal content (child/bestiality/ revenge porn) wasn’t available. Once pornhub put in better security measures, the providers authorized transactions again.
That’s little different from the providers revoking my businesses ability to accept credit cards if I’m found to not follow the standards required of me for SOX compliance
of course pornhub does content management. You’re not gonna find a more strictly managed porn site anywhere. They instituted unprecedented regulation, most of their content was wiped and they manually verify studios to be able to upload.

What else have they done? I had no idea this was even legal.
they did it with pornhub at least

They weren’t doing much content management before all that though.
And my bad, I thought they had, I haven’t checked because I’ve never been in their market to begin with
Yes, yes they were, and absolutely are now.
