No offense, but this reads like you might not have finished the article. Here are the solutions he, cautiously, floats in the article:

    I don’t see any neat solution. But aside from limiting immunity so that companies are incentivized to behave better, here are three steps that would help: 1.) Allow only verified users to post videos. 2.) Prohibit downloads. 3.) Increase moderation.

Nothing about limiting searches.

Nicholas Kristof is also not a technology journalist, he is an op-ed columnist (a rather famous one) who mostly writes about human rights and gender equality. Not saying I'm a huge fan of his, in fact I typically think the NYT op-ed is awful, but this article seems above average for them.

Like it or not, it made waves

    ...Pornhub on Tuesday announced three steps that mirrored suggestions I made in a long investigative column over the weekend that quoted the young people who so bravely told their stories. 1.) It will allow videos to be uploaded only by people who have verified their identities. 2.) It will improve moderation. 3.) It will no longer allow video downloads, which allow illegal material to proliferate.
