A Senate bill that would require Canadians to verify their age online before accessing porn is moving through the House of Commons without the support of the Liberal government.

I wonder how many senators think all porn is hosted on pornhub. It’s comical how it’s the most legally compliant and ethical porn site out there by a mile, yet it still gets targeted by every pearl-clutching legislator
I swear, what do they do in their free time. Not watch porn at all?!
They were knowingly hosting CSAM and revenge porn until not too long ago… Funny how the FBI is investigating it but as far as we know nothing’s happening on the Canadian side…
They were not knowingly hosting CSAM and revenge porn, they took quick steps to lock down the site and strengthened their verification procedures when they found out.

You’re really using a Breitbart article as a source? Also this just points to an overloaded review system, which seems to have been fixed since then. Did you even read the article or did you just glance at the inflammatory headline?
I can guarantee that most other porn sites don’t have a review system at all, and they’re chugging along business as usual.
Shit got fixed once it got revealed in medias that’s what was going on, not before.
As I already mentioned, it’s being investigated by the FBI, so I guess they do in fact believe something was happening.
Ok, but my point is that doesn’t prove that they were knowingly hosting that material
Also, it’s better to use up to date sources

They admit in the leaked emails that they don’t review all flagged videos, they means they knew some content was left online even if some of it was CSAM or revenge porn.
Did you even read your own link? They entered a deferred prosecution agreement so they wouldn’t have to go to court, they didn’t plead guilty but they acknowledged their responsibility, the charges are still valid for three years.
They’re still being sued by 62 victims that filled reports of content of them being hosted without their consent to which Pornhub didn’t react or replied by telling them to fuck off.
Unless you work for them I honestly have no idea why you’re defending them like that, it’s a huge corporation in a field full of abuse victims, there are actual ethical porn, don’t pretend like Pornhub has anything to do with ethics.
Ignoring flagged videos could also mean there were a lot of incorrect flags and so it was in their interest to only react once a certain threshold was reached. I’m defending them because they get far too much heat for the amount of work they put in to make the site ethical, especially considering the rest of the industry, if your biases stop you from seeing that idk what to tell you.
Also, sites that knowingly host CSAM typically aren’t granted deferred prosecution. Are you trying to say you know better than the FBI?
