the FTC is on a presser right now applauding itself, saying CSAM "stops now" and "as of today" it's forcing the company to verify performer's ages. Aylo's been doing a lot of this for years, including verifying ages and written consent www.404media.co/pornhub-cons...

the complaint included some interesting (alleged) discussions among Pornhub compliance staff around the time the site was purging unverified content in 2020. I often wondered about the shitstorm internally then; this sounds about right

Defendants’ Compliance team subsequently audited all Pornhub Premium content and, as a result, deactivated over 300,000 videos—including videos that Defendants solicited or selected, purchased, and uploaded themselves—for violating Defendants’ terms of service, some of which were CSAM and NCM. These videos had been viewed and downloaded millions of times. A senior member of Defendants’ Compliance team stated in an internal email that “none of it is enough,” “this is just a start,” and “we need to block millions more” because “the site is FULL of non-compliant content.” Another senior employee responded: “it’s over” and “we’re fucked.” The senior Compliance employee added that Pornhub was similarly “full of” non-compliant videos
