A trial program conducted by Pornhub in collaboration with UK-based child protection organizations aimed to deter users from searching for child abuse material (CSAM) on its website. Whenever CSAM-related terms were searched, a warning message and a chatbot appeared, directing users to support services. The trial reported a significant reduction in CSAM searches and an increase in users seeking help. Despite some limitations in data and complexity, the chatbot showed promise in deterring illegal behavior online. While the trial has ended, the chatbot and warnings remain active on Pornhub’s UK site, with hopes for similar measures across other platforms to create a safer internet environment.

    From where I stand being attracted to children is as acceptable as men being attracted to men

    This is the part that i’m objecting to. It’s amazing to me that this needs to be spelled out so explicitly: sexual attraction to children is as acceptable as being attracted to rape and other sexually abusive behaviors, not men being attracted to other men. Sexual relationships with children are definitionally abusive, and its depiction in media is as acceptable as depictions of rape (e.g., not particularly). If you disagree with that claim, then fucking say so, but don’t whine about me misinterpreting you when I’m direct-fucking quoting you.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m neither condoning nor encouraging the (sexual) abuse of children. Unlike you I’m just not a hypocrite about different sexual orientations/preferences that nobody chooses.

    The sexual preference you’re comparing with homosexuality is not the same as homosexuality. I don’t know how many times I need to say that before you either acknowledge it or amend your comparison.

      sexual attraction to children is as acceptable as being attracted to rape and other sexually abusive behaviors, […]

      That equation is plain wrong unless you equate thoughts to actions. First of all, not even imagined rape is actual rape. And your premise of being attracted to children being similar to being attracted to rape is also false. There likely are people for whom that is true, but it is not a prerequisite. The problem with pedophilia is, that it cannot be fulfilled in real life without abuse/rape.

      Sexual relationships with children are definitionally abusive, […]

      Yes. Where did I say anything else?

      […] and its depiction in media is as acceptable as depictions of rape (e.g., not particularly).

      Yes. Where did I say anything else?

      If you disagree with that claim, then fucking say so, but don’t whine about me misinterpreting you when I’m direct-fucking quoting you.

      You direct quoting me is evidently not the same as you understanding what I am saying.

      The sexual preference you’re comparing with homosexuality is not the same as homosexuality.

      It’s also not the same as heteosexuality. It would be pretty moot to use different words if they all were identical. What they all have in common is their sexual nature and that nobody chooses them. I’m consistently pretty clear about the distinction of sexual desire and its application in the real world; you keep conflating them. Saying sexual desire A is better or worse than sexual desire B is hypocritical. Fill in A and B arbitrarily - don’t forget pedophilia. I think we agree that there can’t be a consenting relationship between a child an an adult. And there can’t be acceptable pornographic material with actual children.

      I don’t know how many times I need to say that before you either acknowledge it or amend your comparison.

      I don’t know how many times I have to repeat and clarify what I said. You keep on ranting against things I didn’t say or even hinted at.
