It's like nobody knows how this technology works.

When you upload a video, you get to type in the tags... PornHub isn't reviewing the videos and deciding to tag them with "pre-teen", or whatever.... that's THE UPLOADER that did that.

So the solution is simple: Cancel and block any account (and delete all the content) from any uploader that is ever found to have used "youth-baiting" tags or illegal content.

Sure, the uploader can create a new account... but then all you need to do is make upload accounts have greater responsibility. A photo ID. A bank account linked. Whatever.

These articles are always so pre occupied with the PRESENTATION MEDIUM that they completely miss the individuals using that medium to post their garbage.

Fuckin hate tech journos.
