Reply to comment by ryper42 in Pornhub owner MindGeek sold to Ottawa private equity firm by marketrent

The groups like Exodus Cry who were going after them in those lawsuits were also really controversial, yet reporters often didn't verify the source. They trusted comments from sexist hate groups like 'National Center on Sexual Exploitation' purely because of the name.

Yep, the groups lobbing against it are right wing Christian groups that literally qualified cosmopolitan magazine as porn and tried to shut it down.

Yeah, porn sites have too much leeway that allows for people with bad intentions to easily get around their checks. But mind geek has been at the forefront of solving that issue by requiring ID from all uploaders,, deleting 10 million non verified videos and making sure their staff at all levels are close to equal male:female ratio.

Porn will always be around, get rid of the top company doing at least a decent job preventing exploitation and you're just giving the unethical fringe sites more customers.
