>“Daughter under 18 years of age”, “very young girl”, “barely legal”, “very small teenager”, “child”. Between 2015 and 2019, Montreal's Mindgeek used a panoply of keywords suggesting the presence of child pornography to rank its content on Pornhub. Its owners even knew how much the most popular categories brought them each month.
>The site's employees also created the labels "14 YO" (14 years old), "Jailbait" (trap to be incarcerated), "young schoolgirl", "preteen" and "underage" (minor), as well as "child", "children", " kids", "child", "nart" (different variations of the word child).
>These revelations about the Montreal business model are contained in a December 19 decision by Justice Scott Coogler of the U.S. Federal Court, Northern District of Alabama, in a class action filed by a woman known only as Jane Doe.
>She claims that a video of her showing her being raped after being drugged, when she was only 16 years old, found herself in the “teen” category of Pornhub, where she was seen a few thousand times between 2019 and 2020, before being withdrawn at her request.
>Exchanges of e-mails between these employees, which have been shown to be in evidence, show that videos considered problematic have remained online for months or even years before being withdrawn.A particular video, uploaded in 2015 with the “adolescent” and “young” labels, was denounced 13 times by the community as showing a minor, before being withdrawn in 2019, after collecting… 1.7 million views.
>In 2020, in an effort to transmit problematic videos to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children,Pornhub’s executives discovered that about 10,000 videos marked with a red flag, between 2015 and 2019, were viewed 684 million times in total before being withdrawn, according to an internal report mentioned by the judge.
