It's not just prudish, it's down to legality as well. Age verification is a big thing there. It's trivial for a minor to post their junk online (please don't ask me how I know) outside of parental oversight; everything has a camera and is internet connected these days. Who dares take responsibility?
Since Pornhub could not guarantee they had 0 underage content, the credit card companies decided to withdraw.
Because if the law finds out the credit card companies dealt with Pornhub, and Pornhub was hosting underage people's explicit content, then the credit card company would end up in real trouble. Human trafficking and child pornography laws are no joke.
I'm confident Reddit and Twitter will be targeted and announce a crackdown on adult content soon enough.
