UK Trial: Pornhub's Chatbot Halts Millions from Accessing Child Abuse Content (www.wired.com)

A trial program conducted by Pornhub in collaboration with UK-based child protection organizations aimed to deter users from searching for child abuse material (CSAM) on its website. Whenever CSAM-related terms were searched, a warning message and a chatbot appeared, directing users to support services. The trial reported a significant reduction in CSAM searches and an increase in users seeking help. Despite some limitations in data and complexity, the chatbot showed promise in deterring illegal behavior online. While the trial has ended, the chatbot and warnings remain active on Pornhub's UK site, with hopes for similar measures across other platforms to create a safer internet environment.

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:

yeah I believe everything the government says through the media too.

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.

[–] Breezy -4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Naw homie, thats not how things work. You dont get to say shit then ask 'wut i say?"

[–] theherk 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Right? So can’t identify the statement that wasn’t true? Got it.

[–] Breezy -3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You can defelct all you wamnt.

[–] theherk 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Breezy -3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You can read back what was said. I dont need to paraphrase our comments that are still there.

[–] theherk 3 points 8 months ago

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.
