Imagine how dumb, in addition to deranged, these people would have to be to look for child porn on a basically legitimate website. Misleading headline too, it didn't stop anything, it just told them "Not here"
We have culturally drawn a line in the sand where one side is legal and the other side of the line is illegal.
Of course the real world isn't like that - there's a range of material available and a lot of it is pretty close to being abusive material, while still being perfectly legal because it falls on the right side of someone's date of birth.
It sounds like this initiative by Pornhub's chatbot successfully pushes people away from borderline content... I'm not sure I buy that... but if it's directing some of those users to support services then that's a good thing. I worry though some people might instead be pushed over to the dark web.
Yeah...I forgot that the UK classifies some activities between consenting adults as "abusive", and it seems some people are now using that definition in the real world.
Facesitting porn (of adults) is illegal in UK for the reason that it's potentially dangerous
Which led to some amazing protests.
Weirdly, watching facesitting porn in the UK is perfectly fine, as long as it wasn’t filmed in the UK.
I can just imagine trying to defend that in court. “Your honour, it’s clear to me that the muffled moans of the face-sittee are those of a Frenchman”
I mean, is it dumb?
Didnt pornhub face a massive lawsuit or something because of the amount of unmoderated child porn that was hidden in its bowels by uploaders (in addition to rape victims, revenge porn, etc etc..), to the point that they apparently only allow verified uploaders now and purged a huge swath of their videos?
"I'm just asking questions"
Until a few years ago, when they finally stopped allowing unmoderated, user uploaded content they had a ton a very problematic videos. And they were roasted about it in public for years. Including by many who were the unconsenting, sometimes underage subjects of these videos, and they did nothing. Good that they finally did, but they trained users for years that it was a place to find that content.
yeah I believe everything the government says through the media too.
You know you could easily say some dumb shit like that to somebody whose daughter wound up fighting a long time to remove herself from the site. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Pornhub left up underage child rape videos until they were very publicly called out for it.
Porn is also a method of bourgeois oppression. The corporate elites want you to be an easily controlled consoomer.
What did I say that was dumb? I said “until a few years ago”, and that is true. And I have firsthand experience with the trouble they wouldn’t go through to deal with it. To imply that I’m just choking down what the government is selling is simply not reasonable.
The person to which I was responding said:
I'm not saying you accused me of the same. I don't know what credibility I need, nor do I fully understand how I lost it. I am happy to hear the person you know had a good experience, truly, and I hope that is the case for most.
You're answer is so full of shit, i think my left eye rolled to far back and now iys stuck
Which part?
Naw homie, thats not how things work. You dont get to say shit then ask 'wut i say?"
Right? So can’t identify the statement that wasn’t true? Got it.
You can defelct all you wamnt.
I don't what I'm defelcting from. I'm here trying to identify with which part of my comments you disagree, and you don't seem to be able to identify it now that you've been asked to say something specific rather that just schoolyard bullshit, "rolling my eyes" and such. I have also been, I believe, nice and clear. I'm happy to have a discussion about something specific, if you're able to say something of value.
You can read back what was said. I dont need to paraphrase our comments that are still there.
I’m not looking for paraphrasing. I’m looking for specificity. What did I say that you are taking issue with? Do you believe the site never had any issues with troubling content in the past, because even according to them they did. It seems to me you are arguing they have done a good job dealing with that more recently, which is not in dispute by me.
You're wasting your time, they're posting on lemmy where it's not even possible up remove a picture you posted let alone one of you posted by someone else - the fact they're still mad pornhub had a similar problem and solved it effectively makes it pretty obvious they're looking for an excuse for an ideological crusade against people they've already decided to hate.
Pornhub also knowingly hosted child porn. Ready or Not put them on blast for it when you raid a company called "Mindjot" for distributing child porn.
