Utah, FTC target adult websites over alleged child sex abuse material distribution

Utah is big in anti-porn, possible Mormon connection there.

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — The State of Utah and Federal Trade Commission targeted the owner and operator of some of the world's most popular adult content websites over alleged distribution of child sex abuse material (CSAM) and non-consensual material (NSM).

In proposed consent order, state and federal officials allege the company, Aylo, knew it had "hundreds of thousands" of CSAM and NSM videos on its websites. FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak and Utah Attorney General Derek Brown both noted that one of Aylo's employees described one of their own sites as a "gold mine for rape content."

The settlement often reflects the veracity of the claims, "chump change" is Breitbart's take.

Pornhub parent company Aylo and its affiliates have settled a lawsuit filed by the FTC and the state of Utah, which alleged that the company “deceived users” about the presence of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and non-consensual material (NCM) on its websites. The porn kingpin settled the suit for a paltry $5 million.

The Federal Trade Commission and Utah authorities have ordered the owner of Pornhub to pay a $5 million penalty for hosting content on the website that includes child abuse and other nonconsensual behavior.
