I would agree. I think that's exactly why it's concerning that there is public knowledge of at least 100 such videos. Even just on Monday, this committee heard from a witness that she tried to get removed explicit videos of her when she was 13 years old that were on Pornhub without her consent.

I guess it is the case that MindGeek or any of its at least 48 subsidiaries has monetized child sexual abuse and non-consensual material.

We lose money. With every view, a user leaves forever. The user is disgusted and never comes back.

Do any of the websites run by this extremely complex structure currently have child sexual abuse or non-consensual material in them?

There should be zero child sexual abuse material on our website, and if there's—

It's because every single piece of content is viewed by our human moderators. Number two, it goes through software that we have licensed from YouTube, like CSAI Match, and from Microsoft, like PhotoDNA for pictures. It goes through a software called Vobile.

Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
I'll start with Mr. Antoon.
We heard devastating testimony on Monday from a young woman who was victimized on your platform. Is it fair to say that Pornhub and MindGeek failed to take all the actions they could have taken a number of years ago to prevent that instance from happening?

Maybe I could step back and just explain.
The first time ever that we heard the name of Ms. Fleites was a couple of months before The New York Times article was released. The writer, Mr. Nicholas Kristof, reached out to our PR team around September. So—

Pause there, Mr. Antoon, because your company did hear from her when she asked for that content to be taken down. Is that correct?

No. For now, we only know her first and last name. We started an investigation, but we do not have enough information to see if she ever contacted us or not. I'm not saying that she's not telling the truth—not at all, and please do not misunderstand me. I'm just saying that with the first name and last name, it is impossible to know if she's contacted us—

Don't you think that's worse, that you have no idea if she contacted you? She said she did.
You, as a company that is making millions of dollars...and here is a woman who has been victimized on your platform, and you don't even know, sitting here today, that she contacted you many years ago, when she was 13, to have that content taken down. Don't you think that's even worse?

No problem, I can answer that.
With the information we have today, we cannot find anything from what Ms. Fleites is saying—nothing.
