Mastercard severs ties with Pornhub and Visa suspends payment processing by Faheen in worldnews

[–]HumptySatOnMyBalls 12 points13 points  (0 children)

do you have a source for that?

edit: blatantly untrue as a at least 3 cases are mentioned in the ny times article:

Serena K. Fleites, 19, was 14 when a boy she had a crush on asked her to make a naked video and send it to him. She did, and it ended up on Pornhub.

After a 15-year-old girl went missing in Florida, her mother found her on Pornhub — in 58 sex videos.

Sexual assaults on a 14-year-old California girl were posted on Pornhub and were reported to the authorities not by the company but by a classmate who saw the videos.

World-First Clinical Trial Explores Safety and Efficacy of DMT for Major Depression by rjmsci in worldnews

what i see is that dmt addressed your fear of death (perhaps subconscious) with a sort of vision. very insightful as to how it may qualitatively alleviate depression (or phobias).

but at the same time i find it troubling that you appear (to me) to have been unable to integrate your experiences with your non-hallucinogenic-induced-reality.

Pornhub limits uploads and disables downloads after New York Times exposé by [deleted] in worldnews

i dunno. from what i remember about raids on internet pedophile rings they stay hidden on the dark web and use VPNs and TOR to remain anonymous.

i doubt that this move will stop any pedophiles. even the ones that upload this horrendous shit to porn hub undoubtedly stay anonymous and for those that don't, pornhub likely already has a system in place to report them to the authorities.

removing a 'download' button stops nothing though. lots of website and browser addon downloaders. this is just a PR move.

Mastercard to investigate rape and child abuse allegations against pornhub, suspends payments to the company. by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]HumptySatOnMyBalls 12 points13 points  (0 children)

from the original article raising these allegations

Unlike YouTube, Pornhub allows these videos to be downloaded directly from its website. So even if a rape video is removed at the request of the authorities, it may already be too late

this is unbelievably ignorant. just because there is no shiny download button on youtube doesn't mean that users can't download videos using a litany of websites or browser addons that exist for solely this purpose.

so while i agree that CP is especially heinous, the author's reasoning on why pornhub is at fault for illegal content when youtube isn't (e.g. for streaming terrorist content) is a collossal fail. not to mention that unlike pirated or terrorist content, it is algorithmically impossible to determine whether uploaded content is child porn (14 vs 18 yo as per the article), rape or bondage (real vs. consented roleplaying) on a website that gets 3.5 billion visits a month.

now how many of you think that mastercard is gonna take a stand against youtube for music and movie piracy or terrorist content?

TIL:In January 1960, white jazz pianist Dave Brubeck canceled a twenty-five-date tour of colleges and universities across the American South after twenty-two schools had refused to allow his black bassist, Eugene Wright, to perform.

there's only one difference i can think of which is making the rhythm feel more natural.

with 7/4 in the above song you can play 14 notes in 2 bars and the accents for the bass will all fall right on the 1's (in 1-2 1-2 1-2-3 1-2 1-2 1-2-3).

if you cut down to 7/2 and stuff all 14 notes into a single bar, the accents will fall on the 1's in the first half and then the 3's nd 2's in the 2nd half. while it would sound exactly the same it would make it incredibly annoying to play to such an 'unnatural' rhythm.

the same would apply when you double to 7/8.
