An online petition accusing Pornhub of profiting from videos of rape and abuse has reached over 380,000 signatures.

一份指控Pornhub從強暴與暴力影片中獲利的請願，已獲得逾38萬人連署。

The petition, founded by US anti-trafficking organisation Exodus Cry, accuses the porn site of facilitating human trafficking through insufficient safeguarding checks on videos, many of which are uploaded by users.

這份請願由美國反販運組織Exodus Cry發起，控訴這個色情網站對使用者上傳影片的安全檢查不足，因而助長人口販運。

It reads: "Pornhub is generating millions in advertising and membership revenue with 42 billion visits and 6 million videos uploaded per year. Yet it has no system in place to verify reliably the age or consent of those featured in the pornographic content it hosts and profits from."

這份請願指出「每年有420億造訪次數、600萬支影片上傳的Pornhub，從廣告、會員資格獲得數百萬（美元）收益。但它沒有可靠的系統，能夠驗證其管理與從中獲利的色情影片的年齡或內容」。

Laila Mickelwait, the founder of the petition, said: "As a practice Pornhub does not verify the age or the consent of millions of people uploading hardcore porn to their website. Their policies enable porn uploads by anonymous rapists and traffickers."

請願發起人萊拉．米克懷特說，「一般來說，Pornhub不會驗證上百萬人上傳至其網站的色情影片中的年齡或內容，他們的條款允許強姦犯與人口販運份子匿名上傳色情內容」。
