UK Trial: Pornhub's Chatbot Halts Millions from Accessing Child Abuse Content (www.wired.com)

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.

Yeah...I forgot that the UK classifies some activities between consenting adults as "abusive", and it seems some people are now using that definition in the real world.

Facesitting porn (of adults) is illegal in UK for the reason that it's potentially dangerous

Which led to some amazing protests.

Weirdly, watching facesitting porn in the UK of perfectly fine, as long as it wasn’t filmed in the UK.

I can just imagine trying to defend that in court. “Your honour, it’s clear to me that the muffled moans of the face-sittee are those of a Frenchman”
