- 0:00Speaker 1: We have ways now with technology and there's third party companies.
- 0:03Speaker 1: So I would never want anybody to actually have to
- 0:07Speaker 1: give their ID to Pornhub because I would never trust
- 0:11Speaker 1: them in a million years with that content because they
- 0:13Speaker 1: exploit data. Like they're being sued right now in a
- 0:16Speaker 1: class action for data exploitation. You know, they gather so
- 0:19Speaker 1: much information already. And then they sell it to people?
- 0:21Speaker 1: They sell it to advertisers. So like when you go
- 0:23Speaker 1: to Pornhub, you think that it's all private, right? And
- 0:26Speaker 1: But they're gathering the IP address. They can find out
- 0:29Speaker 1: your zip code. From your zip code, they can probably
- 0:32Speaker 1: find your income level. They're looking at your sexual preferences.
- 0:35Speaker 1: They're determining if you're a male or a female, what
- 0:40Speaker 1: language you speak, what browser you use. I mean, they're
- 0:42Speaker 1: gathering so much information about everybody. And so there's that.
- 0:49Speaker 1: But there's third-party companies that can verify age safely, effectively,
- 0:56Speaker 1: with respecting privacy. In fact, they don't even have to
- 0:59Speaker 1: actually take your image. So it's biometric scanning. So there's
- 1:03Speaker 1: a company called Yoti where they actually will, in one second,
- 1:06Speaker 1: they can determine your age over 99% accuracy with a
- 1:11Speaker 1: facial scan using AI that's trained on thousands or millions
- 1:15Speaker 1: of images. And they just look at pixels and numbers.
- 1:18Speaker 1: They don't actually even store the actual image of your face.
- 1:22Speaker 1: And then they Erase that. So that's how they can verify.
- 1:28Speaker 1: So anybody who wants to oppose age verification for the
- 1:30Speaker 1: reason of privacy concerns, which is what Pornhub is shutting
- 1:34Speaker 1: itself down in states across the United States right now,
- 1:41Speaker 1: they're shutting themselves down in opposition to age verification. Right. Okay,
- 1:45Speaker 1: so they're saying instead of having people verify their age
- 1:49Speaker 1: to watch, we would rather shut ourselves down? Yes, because
- 1:52Speaker 1: it costs them money. Oh, because they have to hire
- 1:54Speaker 1: a third-party company to verify. Exactly. They're not allowed to
- 1:57Speaker 1: age verify. Well, I mean, it's not that they're not
- 2:00Speaker 1: allowed to. I don't think that they can. And I
- 2:02Speaker 1: don't think anybody would ever want to hand their ID
- 2:06Speaker 1: over to Pornhub. So there's this third-party sites that have
- 2:09Speaker 1: that technology that can at scale verify. So they're used
- 2:13Speaker 1: by Meta, TikTok, other companies who do this. But they're saying, oh,
- 2:18Speaker 1: it's too much. It's not cost-effective anymore. They're saying– like
- 2:21Speaker 1: Pornhub is out there and the media is saying we're
- 2:25Speaker 1: shutting ourselves down because we care about user privacy because
- 2:28Speaker 1: we don't want people handing over their personally identifying information.
- 2:30Speaker 1: But that's a lie. If they care about user privacy,
- 2:32Speaker 1: then they would care about protecting people who are un-
- 2:36Speaker 1: A non-consenting, right? Right, non-consenting. That's the most privacy. But
- 2:40Speaker 1: not only that, it's like the same company also runs
- 2:43Speaker 1: pay sites that are collecting credit card information, right? With
- 2:46Speaker 1: your name, when you put in your billing address. your
- 2:50Speaker 1: credit card details. So it's all a facade. It's all
- 2:53Speaker 1: just a facade. And so that's why I think it's
- 2:55Speaker 1: important for people to know the truth about what is
- 2:58Speaker 1: the opposition to age verification, what's really going on behind
- 3:02Speaker 1: the scenes here, and it's really about money. And we
- 3:05Speaker 1: even have their senior community manager who publicly admitted in
- 3:09Speaker 1: a Reddit thread, she was having a conversation, and she
- 3:12Speaker 1: says age verification would basically devastate their traffic. And it
- 3:17Speaker 1: costs us money to verify, and that's why it would
- 3:20Speaker 1: be a disaster for them is because it costs them money.
- 3:23Speaker 1: And so that's really what this is about. It's about money.
