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.

Our preferences and perceptions are shaped to a degree (large or small) by our experiences. Mine are most definitely colored to a significant degree by my own early childhood trauma, which makes anything approaching age-play, power-play, and CNC, even just by indirect association in my own thought processes, uncomfortable and unsexy to me.

Even if it means nothing from an internet stranger, sorry to hear you had traumatic childhood experiences. Makes sense that you are uncomfortable with said practices.

I also find scat-play pretty disgusting (tbf, that’s probably part of the kink for some)

We can agree on something here.

It absolutely does mean something and thank you. To be clear, my intent in stating it is not to plead for sympathy but to try to give context and further understanding. It wasn't until well into adulthood that I even realized that experiences that I fortunately can't even remember had such a profound impact on my on my preferences and interactions with others. Add in diagnosed neurodivergence and I've got extra fun to boot :).

Overall though, even if I'm overly sensitive about some kinks and might well suspect associations that could possibly not factually be there, I do very much hope that anyone who gets (consensually) ambushed by their lover in a skimpy school girl outfit has the time of their lives. I'm much more comfortable with fetishizing lacey archaic garments.

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.

lacey - learned a new word today.

lacey - learned a new word today.

I actually apparently misspelled. It should be "lacy".
