“Porn” has done a historically awful job of filtering out exploitation and abuse, and made a lot of money from it.

- dllthomas 4y agoOn the one hand, yes. But on the other that's also been true of The Gap and Nike. Fruit companies have toppled governments, and people have been shot suppressing unionization in a host of industries. I am not convinced that the morality is enough to convince the credit card companies to forgo their cut of that "lot of money." I suspect that the bigger concern is the higher levels of fraud when many participants in a market are unusually uncomfortable turning to public courts to address disputes.

- pessimizer 4y ago> “Porn” has done a historically awful job of filtering out exploitation and abuse, Has it? Does it have an actual record of abuse* that is better than, for example, the meat packing industry, or janitorial services? ----- [*] (I don't know what you mean by exploitation, I'm assuming it's just an expression of disapproval)
