It's not an article, it's a hit piece,

It's an article. It just happens to be an article you disagree with.

written by a known agitator not a journalist

That's why it's in the Editorial section, not the News section. Also, "agitator" is a loaded term that is in the eye of the beholder. Some people might use "activist" or "hero."

at a time when the religious anti PH movement is at it's crescendo.

If you believe this is true, nobody on the planet change your mind. But I will tell you it comes out like hysterical raving.

And I'll tell you that your position is as equally misinformed and comes off that way. Those who have been tracking this issue and digging into the details of it understand it to be religiously motivated.

I won't claim to be "tracking this issue" and "digging into the details of it." If that's your thing, good for you.

As for it being religiously motivated, I don't believe that it is exclusively religious. I think that regular, average people and people with religious convictions can both be against rape videos and child pornography. If you're not, then I suggest you seek mental health counseling.

It's fatigue. That's what you're reading from comments like mine and the one you dismissed and judged so easily without informing yourself.

I've been "tracking this issue" and "digging into the details of it" because I'm a pornhub performer who has had payment issues since earlier this year when this campaign kicked off out of nowhere. My partner and I went through Pornhub's verification process (for which we uploaded current government issued IDs and signed forms, and were initially rejected and had to appeal). My partner and I have millions of video views in the last year, and yet despite the fun and monetary benefit of it all, I happen to view myself as a good person who is conscious of how my actions can impact others negatively, often unwittingly. So I've naturally wondered whether I should ethically be involved with Pornhub at all.

So apologies for my snark, but this campaign is not rational, and me and others like me are fatigued at those jumping to all sorts of non-sequitur conclusions based on fearmongering which is in turn based on shoddy (and at times obviously manipulated) statistics. Even IF pornhub had a verification issue (which will never be perfect), it is not AT ALL clear who has responsibility in this new age of information sharing, how morality should be controlled (god I hope it's obvious it shouldn't be controlled by finance execs), etc. Who is financing the campaign against Pornhub?

Dig into this campaign and it's obvious it's not motivated by sound understanding and reason and has its roots in religiously affiliated action groups.
