Deaf Man Sues PornHUB For Making It Hard For People With Hearing Loss To Enjoy

A deaf man has sued Pornhub and other porn**graphic websites because he believes they have not put facilities in place to make deaf people enjoy their sites.

Yaroslav Suris, a New York resident, tried to watch videos on Pornhub entitled “Hot Step Aunt Babysits Disobedient Nephew,” “Sexy Cop Gets Witness To Talk” and others in October 2019 and January 2020, but could not due to the website’s lack of closed captioning, according to the lawsuit filed Thursday in the Eastern District of New York, abcnews reports.

The lawsuit alleges that Pornhub, RedTube and YouPorn are in violation of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act. Part of the ADA’s goal is to provide “full and equal enjoyment” of a public accommodation’s goods, services, facilities and privileges, according to the lawsuit.

“Websites that prevent accessibility to deaf and hard of hearing individuals is a discriminatory act,” the lawsuit reads.

The ADA cites that its purpose is “to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.”

Pornhub’s Vice President Corey Price disputed the claim that the website doesn’t offer closed captions.

“While we do not generally comment on active lawsuits, we’d like to take this opportunity to point out that we do have a closed captions category,” according to a statement from Price provided to ABC News. The statement included a link to its closed captions section.

Suris has previously sued Fox News, the New York Post and other outlets alleging similar ADA violations on their websites.
