Indeed. The porn industry is quite serious about following the letter of the law, so it was strange that pornhub lost support from mastercard and visa when that NYT op ed came out.[1]
This antiporn movement is more about control and censorship than protecting children.
I'm pretty sure, it had something to do with Wirecard. They had been the payment processor from Pornhub. Just a the same time, when some parts of the old Wirecard got sold, Pornhub deleted a lot of stuff "because of the children".
Do you have any statistical evidence that PornHub is being used for the crimes described above, despite the processes and procedures the parent comment outlines?
If you’re only demanding “statistical evidence, please” from the people questioning if something is really happening contrary to policies and procedures, you’re asking the wrong people.
"The porn industry is quite serious about following the letter of the law" and
"This antiporn movement is more about control and censorship than protecting children." are both claims that require evidence to be judged whether true or false.
PornHub has transparency reports tracking how many upload there are to the system, where they come from, how many uploads get removed, how the removals were detected (e.g. by your user report, detected by internal tools before anyone saw them, etc.) they also discuss and the automated systems and manual processes they use. It’s all rather sophisticated, including an AI train system that does age estimation to detect, previously unknown, CSAM material.
