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.

    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.

        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)

          You too are saying dumb shit, pornhub has been a lead example of being strict on these things. They are one of the leading websites for porn and abide by laws very well. Idk what sites you visit but pornhub almost exclusively has stepsister porn nowadays. /s

            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.

              You’re full of shit then, because i also know someone who had shit uploaded that was removed in less then a week. You lose credibility by keep saying you dont deep throat the governments dick which i never said you did. All im saying is pornhub is a wonderfull website that does its best to stay out of the negative spotlight.

                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.

            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 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.
