And regardless, my questions still stand: was PornHub removing those videos promptly when made aware of them, and making a good-faith effort to ensure they didn't get re-uploaded? Article doesn't dive into those details. If they were, I think a private entity taking an action that could cripple their business would be akin to law enforcement shutting them down without due process or the ability to appeal.

Again, it seems "child porn" is just being used as the "can't argue with our actions because think of the children" conversation-ender it's usually used as.

Edit: Re-reading my response, I'm not sure where I got the bit about how we're talking about copyright infringement. Possible I was reading HN a lot that day and got my wires crossed between articles. But I think the rest of my comment stands on its own.
