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.

They already have this data, they already used AI over it, they already sell it. Thats their business model.

I agree that's an issue, but its not specific to this nor is this dependent on this.

Yes, this is not new, it is just about normalization and testing the waters for backlash before they do something, less whiteknightey with it and they don't manage to keep it out of the news.
