MODERATORS
 

A lawsuit filed by more victims of the sex trafficking operation claims that Pornhub’s moderation staff ignored reports of their abuse videos.


Sixty-one additional women are suing Pornhub’s parent company, claiming that the company failed to take down videos of their abuse as part of the sex trafficking operation Girls Do Porn. They’re suing the company and its sites for sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering, and human trafficking.

The complaint, filed on Tuesday, includes what it claims are internal emails obtained by the plaintiffs, represented by Holm Law Group, between Pornhub moderation staff. The emails allegedly show that Pornhub had only one moderator to review 700,000 potentially abusive videos, and that the company intentionally ignored repeated reports from victims in those videos.

The damages and restitution they seek amounts to more than $311,100,000. They demand a jury trial, and seek damages of $5 million per plaintiff, as well as restitution for all the money Aylo, the new name for Pornhub’s parent company, earned “marketing, selling and exploiting Plaintiffs’ videos in an amount that exceeds one hundred thousand dollars for each plaintiff.”

The plaintiffs are 61 more unnamed “Jane Doe” victims of Girls Do Porn, adding to the 60 that sued Pornhub in 2020 for similar claims.
Girls Do Porn was a federally-convicted sex trafficking ring that coerced young women into filming pornographic videos under the pretense of “modeling” gigs. In some cases, the women were violently abused. The operators told them that the videos would never appear online, so that their home communities wouldn’t find out, but they uploaded the footage to sites like Pornhub, where the videos went viral—and in many instances, destroyed their lives. Girls Do Porn was an official Pornhub content partner, with its videos frequently appearing on the front page, where they gathered millions of views.

What the actual fuck Pornhub. That’s like watching an action movie and finding out later that they really murdered the actors. Never go long on that site again.

Yeah it's fucking disgusting. I just googled what is it in google images because I used to watch a lot of porn in the past probably from that brand too. I seen those faces, those women that probably some of them at least were forced to do it...

Nowdays I don't enjoy consuming mainstream porn at all because like it's... violent in a way. Consensual or not it always looks like something is seriously off, wrong like someone is waiting with a gun behind the camera you know. Like they just treat the girl like a doll and throw her around, cum, then away. Guys are ugly as fuck

There is this bellesa stuff, amateur vids, lots of things that seem more enjoyable for everyone and of course old good hentai

Honestly, nothing beats two consenting adults enjoying eachother and sharing it with the world. Professional porn is disgusting imo

[–] rckclmbr@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, except sex IRL with someone you love amirite

I like looking for couples. It also seem they know and enjoy each other more.

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

If they wouldn't still do it when the cameras aren't rolling then I'm not interested

[–] rostby@lemmy.fmhy.net 6 points 1 year ago

I never last that long anyways

Amazon still sells Milo & Otis

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is there a good porn site alternative?

The entire internet

[–] tim1996@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty much only somthing like Reddits gonewild community. Wich forces uploaders to verify and not be a seller. Its mostly for pictures tho. Atleast thats as far as i can see.

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

The classic gonewild is a bit sexist, though. They say it's for porn of all sexes, but male posts get buried. It's fine to be female-only, but then just say that.
