When satire becomes serious...
Deaf man sues Pornhub, Redtube and YouPorn! “Finally barrier-free: YouPorn introduces sign language interpreters” is the title of the Postillon in an article in 2016, in which the announcement of simultaneous translation of YouPorn videos into sign language was announced. But be careful! Satire! - Really … ?
Deaf man sues porn sites
Yaroslav Suris from the USA accuses Pornhub, Redtube and YouPorn of violating the US law on the protection against discrimination against people with disabilities. That's why the man is now demanding compensation. All three companies would not provide subtitles for their films. This means Suris cannot enjoy the videos to the fullest. He has now filed a lawsuit against the sites and their parent company MindGeek in Canada in a court in Brooklyn.

His statement of claim runs to 23 pages and refers to videos that Suris wanted to watch in October and January. Deaf and hearing-impaired people would not be able to follow films without subtitles like all other users. That's why he's now demanding damages in an undisclosed amount.
Accessible videos
However, Corey Price, vice president of Pornhub, denies this accusation, saying in a statement that his site already offers a subtitles category.
A quick thought on the side: “To the fullest” – literally – the videos could then also be available for other users to consume, as this would allow them to watch the full content on their smartphone without the sound being switched on. Curious looks from the right or left are excluded.
