Curious: why isn't all porn sites sued for this? I don't quite get why they're only going after PH? Is it because it's harder to win a case against 1000 website

Curious: why isn't all porn sites sued for this? I don't quite get why they're only going after PH? Is it because it's harder to win a case against 1000 websites? Is it because it's more overhead to go after multiple sites and they expect the biggest return on investment only going after the biggest one? Anyone smarter than me who has a take?

(IANAL) But could it be something with where the pr0n site is registered as a business. Have something to do with its ADA required obligaitons ? Or that he has a particular preference for PH ?

Precedent: a conviction against one will encourage the others to do the right thing while avoiding the cost of having 1000's of defendants.

  If "doing the right thing" means banning videos from all online platforms except those with the capability to automatically translate sound into subtitles, I'd rather they don't do the "right thing". The end result will be lawsuit money for a few disabled people and the end of most alternative video platforms.

    No the result will be a lot of money for lawyers and a few pennies for the actual litigant.

The very first sentence says, "A deaf man has sued Pornhub and other pornographic websites" You could always try reading an article to see if it answers questions you have based on skimming a headline.
