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.

Enforcement will be easy. My platform clients are already doing spot audits/checks on model releases and IDS. The accounts of content creators that don't have them are quickly terminated.
Platforms dont care about losing underperforming content creators. If anything, these past few years have shown there is a limitless supply of content creators for the platforms - there are now millions of pornographers in the world. If you're doing $100,000 a month, then I think the platforms will probably treat those creators differently. 80/20 rule... platforms would much rather lose the 80 and keep the 20...
Ultimately, hopefully, this will create more opportunities for membership sites and programs. I have a feeling that the number of creators will drop and the overall amount of content available will be reduced - and with UGC tubes also reducing content, perhaps more people will go back and take on memberships - if they are priced competitively.
