For too many years the simple requirement that secondary producers also maintain copies of the records has been overlooked. It is what allowed UGC tubes to flourish.
Unfortunately, the FSC litigation against 2257 didnt address secondary producer issues (though there was an indication in that case that secondary producers needing to have the records was unconstitutional) and they were never resolved.
So as we sit here, secondary producers are required to maintained records.
Mastercard may not require it but if an account doesnt have them, the platform risks losing billing.
What platform is going to take that risk?
Dont want to give up your docs, thats easy - dont submit to platforms and instead maintain your own sites. You get to keep all the documents and IDs offline and protected.

Honestly I think no one can predict how this is going to shake out. As I understand this thing, enforcement will be a bitch. Platforms can require it - then lose producers who don't want their models' sensitive info stored on some platform.
However, if Mastercard makes it relatively easy to comply - and we will know after October 15th - then we can all move forward with some certainty. I suspect MC will realize enforcement will be difficult if not impossible and the fallout will not be as bad as everyone fears. Right now, for example, all that Pornhub is requiring is that you check boxes to ensure you have the proper IDs and info. If that is all there will be to this then really no issues.
What will happen, I think, is platforms will be forced to at least partially review content more closely than they have before now. Weed out the obvious examples of violations, etc. No more rape, beastiality, cp and so forth.
