It's going to be interesting to contrast this comment section with the Kiwifarms one.
The Kiwifarms owners should be in jail for inciting others to commit psychological harm on people while the Pornhub owners should be in jail for knowingly exploiting underage and non consenting women.
That’s two very different reasons. But I fully expect the libertarians of HN in full swing explaining to us how it’s the death of free speech and justifying the worst exploitative behaviours because freedom as libertarians like to do.
I don’t think that was the particular aspect of the aforementioned thread GP was referring to (maybe in part)
Has a court ruled that yet? If not, that's a pretty ridiculous claim. The site has user submitted content, and perfect moderation is not a simple technical (or even human curated) problem at all.
People are basically upset that PH doesn't have perfect moderation, and want them to moderate better, fine. But that's moving the goal posts.
