You can't just ignore flagged videos when we're talking about them potentially being videos of children being raped, are you fucking serious right now? That's how you're defending them? "Oh it would have cost money to do their job correctly so it was in their interest to not do it."

The FBI got a bunch of people in prison, the charges against Pornhub still stand for three years, they just haven't went to court because they agreed to change their practices.

Having one person doing verifications working 9-5 means that a child porn video uploaded on Friday evening could stay online all weekend without anything being done about it, once it was removed Pornhub knew exactly when it was uploaded and how much time it was on their servers, so yes, they were knowingly leaving illegal content on their website, they wouldn't have had to change the way they process flagged videos if it wasn't the case. Maybe they work hard now, they didn't at the time so stop it with the "I'm defending them because they get far too much heat for the amount of work they put in to make the site ethical" bullshit, they proved its not about ethics, it's about money and they didn't care until it was made public.

Heck, if it didn't happen the civil suit would have been dismissed, it hasn't been.
