A Pornhub Chatbot Stopped Millions From Searching for Child Abuse Videos

Every time someone in the UK searched for child abuse material on Pornhub, a chatbot appeared and told them how to get help.

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.

    To be clear, my intent in stating it is not to plead for sympathy but to try to give context and further understanding.

    That’s how I got it. Without knowing you, your comments sounded judgy and moralizing to me. But with context I can see that it’s not how they were meant.

    I’m much more comfortable with fetishizing lacey archaic garments.

    lacey - learned a new word today.
