Statistical evidence, please.


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.


We are not at the university and writing a thesis here. It is freedom of speech and opinions are formed freely.


Not the exact issue you were commenting on, but it struck me as a little weird to have a [1] and no link or footnote that goes with it

I think this is the op ed being referenced https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/04/opinion/sunday/pornhub-ra...


yep, forgot to include the link
