Mayor Plante Wants The Federal Government To 'Take A Stand' Against Companies Like Pornhub

[cupcrazy]

On December 4, The New York Times published an article titled "The Children of Pornhub," revealing the alleged dark realities behind this Montreal-based online porn site, which mayor Valérie Plante was questioned about today.
This article contains graphic content that might not be suitable for some readers.
"Its site is infested with rape videos. It monetizes child rapes, revenge pornography, spy cam videos of women showering, racist and misogynist content," the author wrote.

During Mayor Plante's press conference three days after the article was released, a journalist asked her feeling towards Pornhub, its parent company Mindgeek, and the fact that Montreal houses such a business.

[Pornhub] isn't the kind of business we wish to have on our territory.
MAJOR VALÉRIE PLANTE

"We must understand that it's not limited to the City Of Montreal [...] to say [to businesses] 'you can come' or 'you can't set up here.'"
Plante says such decisions need to be taken into the hands of higher up forms of government, and "invites the deciders from other levels, including the federal, to take a stand on the issue."
The mayor was asked if she thinks this business with its headquarters in Montreal should be forced to leave the city.
She responded, "I can tell you it has to go, but more so than that, there need to be rules and laws that make sure Pornhub isn't just replaced by someone else after."
"[That] would make it a little bit like makeup."

I did see a movie that talked about Pornhub, there’s a lot more going on besides the snuff stuff

 

[Toucan]

I get that there should definitely be a crackdown on anything involving kids and those companies should ensure that content is swiftly removed and reported to the authorities, but is her statement that all pornography platforms should leave? That's archaically medieval. Put laws in place to make those companies accountable for sifting their content, but porn is never going to disappear.

So these dudes out here raping underaged girls and putting it on the internet and nothing happens to them?

 

[snoopdoggie]

Is pornhub showing underage females?

 

[Magicmon]

Well pornhub just changed their rules and options because of this. I don’t see how child pornography could be uploaded on the site and not spotted. This just shows how a little fuss about nothing can influence a company to change.

To play devil's advocate, the amount of videos uploaded everyday to the site is real high. The amount of people checking the content I would guess is quite low by comparison.

Yeah, they don't want to lose Visa and MasterCard.
Amazing how quick they change their tune.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Better to ask forgiveness than permission.

 

[Toomanymiles]

Underaged teens getting raped on camera and nothing happens other than pornhub changing their policies. They need to get charged. This is worse than Epstein cuz that dude at least kept shit under wraps. This is blatant and if they are serious about underage sexual assualt they need to lay some charges. Otherwise maybe society should shut up about females getting raped cuz this is hardcore proof, not some he say she say shit. And if you don’t do anything about this they need to just make prostitution legal already. Cuz some girls are just meant to be hoes.

I'm on the fence on this one. I don't watch a lot of porn, (it doesn't compare with what goes on in my head), but I see both sides to this argument. I have seen a few videos, not sure if they were pornhub or some other site, that clearly cross the line of the law, or at least they seem to in my view. It's my understanding that in Canada--and probably every other western country-it is not only illegal to depict children in sexual situation--which there is a broad consensus on--but also to show actors that appear to be children having sex. That last point is what I think gets ignored, as there do seem to be a shitload of vids suggesting that the participants are kids. I can't believe it would be that difficult for any porn site to keep such stuff from being uploaded, if they really wanted to.

As for the rest of it, I think I'm pretty liberal. Rape, race, and humiliation vids, should be allowed as long as they're in someway marked as drama. Hell, if you brand everything depicting a submissive partner as "abuse" you may as well completely eliminate Japanese porn. In today's society it's almost impossible to discuss or admit, but there's a dark side to what excites people sexually. I have known plenty of women, in fact I'd guess more than half of those I've been with, get off on being controlled and "used". I'm not saying they want to be disrespected, but a lot of women definitely like the chase, the capture and the (mock) subjugation.

Pornhub fucked up. I was surprised to hear they didn’t put much attention to screening and policing the content that gets uploaded on to their site.

It’s not just possible underaged kids in videos. Another big issue is revenge porn which is hard to govern.
