Now easy criticism: when this girlsdoporn guy started his crap, was He a registered criminal/felon ? My guess is no...
And in this case:
-1 It is useless
-2 It is not going to be enough (yeah enough)

You are mistaken. I don't find this perfectly reasonable at all. And you are right 100%. When the girlsdoporn gusy started, he wasn't a known criminal/felon.
Doing criminal background checks would not have stopped them doing business with Riley Reynolds of Hussie models either. Sure, he had 5 or so felonies on his record, but the state of California and Florida approved him for a talent agent license, despite doing a criminal background check, because to them, they weren't violent offenses, so that works for them.
Fast forward, and he's now involved in at least 3 sex trafficking investigations that I know of.
So that being said, what's the point of these criminal background checks?
In the case of Pornhub specifically, it would have solved
this issue in advance.
They could have simply said we did our due diligence. When we started doing business with these guys, they had no signs of a criminal history.
So again, to me, this is just a save their ass move by big companies, but I also get it. If doing this now can save them potential legal trouble, why wouldn't they do it?
In one case alone, it would have saved them penalties of $1.8 million to the government and a rumored $14 million to the individual women in the case.
And that's just ONE case.
So yeah, I get why they are doing it. It's in their financial best interest.
Do I think it will do shit to actually protect the women in our industry? No, I do not. Riley Reynolds proves that.
If two separate states approve a 5-time felon for a license ... then that tells you everything you need to know about how this system will work for the industry.
