The owner of Pornhub has admitted to making more than $864,000 (£679,000) from sex trafficking by posting videos of women on its site without their consent, US prosecutors have said. Aylo Holdings "knowingly enriched itself by turning a blind eye" to victims who told the company they had been lied to and forced into the videos", James Smith, head of the FBI's New York office, said. The Montreal-based firm, formerly known as MindGeek, has agreed to pay more than $1.8m (£1.4m) to the US government and individual damages to the victims.
Under an agreement between Aylo and prosecutors, the firm has agreed to pay victims compensation, but it is not known who is eligible and how they can apply. Aylo was found to have hosted videos and accepted payments from GirlsDoPorn, a now-defunct adult film production company, whose operators were convicted of a range of sex trafficking crimes.
From 2017 to 2020, Aylo received $864,000 (£679,000) that insiders knew or should have known was coming from GirlsDoPorn's sex trafficking operations, prosecutors said. The firm was too slow and not thorough enough in removing all the non-consensual videos, even after some of the women appealed directly to the company. According to prosecutors, the company received more than $100,000 (£79,000) from GirlsDoPorn as well as roughly $764,000 (£600,000) in payments from advertisers attributable to the production company.

thats an absurd ruling
posting the videos without the actresses consent? since when did they have to do that, the actresses didnt own the rights to the video, they allowed the copyright owners to upload the contect and they would have to have the legal forms documenting consent and the acresses identifications.
its absurd to say they are supposed to "research" the entire background on every single video uploaded to the site.🌺 Lauren Brooks Kelly (snailsrus) - Jul 25, 1991 – Jan 29, 2022

The issue was what happened when they were at least on constructive notice of the issue.
"Aylo Holdings knowingly enriched itself by turning a blind eye to victims who told the company they had been lied to and forced into the videos, James Smith, head of the FBI's New York office, said."
"The firm was too slow and not thorough enough in removing all the non-consensual videos, even after some of the women appealed directly to the company."

This, but also no one is suggesting that the site was under some obligation to reach out to each of these girls and inquire about the circumstances of their signing release documents. The problem is girls reached out and told them about the non-consensual nature of the situation and the site ignored them in order to extract more money from the videos instead.

meh, just because the actreses who already signed their rights to ownership made a claim to them they are now under obligation to spend resources to go launch a criminal investigation? that is what the police are for. The civil courts can order them to take them down. I dont see how they have an obligation to spend their own funds to go research and investigate the videos, they have all documentation that its legal. It cant be the first time women have regretted doing porn and send emails begging them to remove the porn.
The prosecutors and police are the ones who had the obligation to go do the research. It seems like they are punishing pornhub to take attention off themselves for taking too long at their job.🌺 Lauren Brooks Kelly (snailsrus) - Jul 25, 1991 – Jan 29, 2022

pornhub has no way of knowing that. they just have a signed document. if the contracts were done illegally go get the courts to force pornhub to take the videos down. anybody could email porn hub anything at any time. I wouldnt be surprised at all if girls, some of them mentally ill, send them emails begging to take down videos they regreat making. the producers already went through expense to make these videos and cant just take them down because girls have regrets.🌺 Lauren Brooks Kelly (snailsrus) - Jul 25, 1991 – Jan 29, 2022

The complaint is that they didnt take down the videos at the actresses request, not that they didnt comply with court orders. Dumb ass.
pronhub made a settlement because they dont want the negative media attention in the post metoo era.
I stand by my comments. dumb ass.🌺 Lauren Brooks Kelly (snailsrus) - Jul 25, 1991 – Jan 29, 2022
