Watch: Pornhub Caught On Camera Part Two; Gives Weak Response To Investigations
Senior employees at MindGeek, the parent company of Pornhub, were caught on video for a second time admitting that protocols for underage content were not taken seriously because “nobody gave a sh*t.”
The employees were secretly recorded by journalists at Sound Investigations.
In case you missed it, we had a massive story last week exposing Pornhub where MindGeek employee Mike Farley revealed a “loophole” users exploit to upload illegal content.
Sound Investigations has now released a second video secretly recording Farley and another employee Dillon Rice, who has worked at MindGeek for over five years as a senior script writer.
"We don't have consent of that person, and we're running ads. As a business we're monetizing content that... we don't know where this comes from, we don't know who's on that video, we don't know the age of the person on the video,” Farley said in the newly released video.
In the video, Rice is also heard talking about MindGeek’s moderation failures.
“They made so much money. They were like top of the world. But they fumbled so hard because they didn't take any of that money and reinvest it into moderation or like quality of the site. They just kind of gave it all to executives. And they just made a sh*t ton of profit,” Rice said.
Pornhub executives have profited A LOT off of moderation failures, according to these employees.
"There probably was some like teen men and women like on there," which does get flagged but the moderation system is "so slow" that people "can get mad and sue them,” Rice said.
Other pornography websites that use ‘professional’ content that is recorded in studios keep legal documentation to verify age, such as a 2257. But according to Rice, Pornhub does not want to do that because it's considered “competition.”
"You could upload a video of anything and it would just go through. No one gave a sh*t. They would just be looking for murder videos. Like, you know, like snuff films. [The moderators] would just be running through videos just skimming through them and be like, 'Oh, yeah, no one got killed. It's fine," Farley said.
That is NO SHCOKER since Pornhub deleted almost 80 percent of its videos in Dec. 2020 after allegations it is infested with child abuse.
Farley told a story about an underage girl who tried to get a video removed but the company did not take it seriously.
"She was like 14 and her video was online and had millions of views. And she was apparently emailing the company [Pornhub] to take it down, and we would be like, 'whatever.' We weren't taking it seriously. You know?" Farley said.
And if they did take it down, it would just get reuploaded, according to Farley.
Pornhub had a WEAK response to Sound Investigations undercover videos. According to the letter sent to Sound Investigations they claimed they "have set a standard for compliance."
I guess that could also mean a lack of a standard.
Pornhub claimed in the letter that MindGeek, who has now changed its name to "Aylo," has fewer reports of child video than any other platform, according to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
Does that sound about right to you?
Aylo also tried to throw Farley and Rice under the bus as if they had no clue what they were talking about and that there is no such “loophole.”
Saying that your employees don’t know how the company works is an awful defense, just saying.
But because the employees are not part of the moderator team, Aylo implies they are just making all of this up.
Well, Sound Investigations have said that they will be uploading more videos.
“I wonder what [Pornhub] will say when tapes of content moderators come out?” Arden Young said on X.
One lawsuit against MindGeek alleges that child videos that were published on Pornhub needed to be reported numerous times before moderators would even review them, according to the Washington Examiner.
This is not the first time accusations like this have surfaced, and my guess is that this won’t be the last.
