That is maybe a tangent, I do think so this story deserves some context.
A conservative, church backed organisatin (Edit: in Germany I have to add) promoting youth protection in the internet is currently pushing all kind of funny things against pron sites. Including limiting access, in a way that amounts to censoship.
The adult film industry is here to stay. It is profiting, as is sex work in general, from desperation and weakness (by no means to tue extend that is being pushed so). That means sex workers, regardless of the details, should be protected. Accusations of assault, sexual abuse and rape should be taken serious. In short, make it legal and regulate it. Enforce the rules, protect the actors.
If the abusive assholes forcing actors to produce extreme videos, should be of the internet. And that pressure is social and psychological. It builds up, I see parallels to abusive relationships.
