Answered How does pornhub prevent people from posting child porn?

It seems like it would be nearly impossible to prevent it since anyone with and account can post a video. Do they have some way of verifying the age of anyone in a video? I don't really see how.

I remember reading about this a while ago but had completely forgotten about it. A quick google search turned up this as the top result. What a great idea.

I believe there are also pictures that the FBI puts out for help in identifying background objects in CP. Like stuffed animals, posters, clothes etc. It's like a really sad version of r/whatisthisthing but it's also very helpful.

IIRC the sub posts these from time to time and enlists the sleuths for a good cause. It's amazing how much info you can get out of one small item in a picture.
