Deaf man sues adult sites for not having subtitles - Eagle 95 - Jan 18, 2020
Quote:A deaf man has reportedly filed a lawsuit against a popular adult video website for alleged rights violations because he says it doesn't provide closed captioning on its videos.
Yaroslav Suris is suing Pornhub, which hosts millions of adult videos, claiming the site's lack of subtitles violates the rights of deaf and hearing impaired under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in areas of "employment, transportation, public accommodations, communications and access to state and local government programs and services," according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
If it's true, what a way to get rich lol.

They commented on it.
Quote:Pornhub vice president Corey Price -- who says the company usually doesn't comment on pending litigation -- responded to the allegations.
"We understand that Yaroslav Suris is suing Pornhub for claiming weāve denied the deaf and hearing-impaired access to our videos," he told the outlet. "While we do not generally comment on active lawsuits, weād like to take this opportunity to point out that we do have a closed captions category."

Hmm... Pornhub is into this woke marketing. I wouldn't be surprised if they had planned all this just so they can say "we do have a closed captions category".

It's good if you do. But getting sued because you don't adhere to some accessibility rules... that's something american I guess.
