I actually believe that if Pornhub was to shut off its lights tomorrow—which I understand how people looking from the outside think it would be a much better solution—I think it would be a horrible situation for people around the world and the 10 million Canadians a day who come to our site. We are the only site that puts in place these different processes and software, puts in place the human moderation, and creates partnerships with over 40 trusted flagging organizations, including NCMEC and IWF, so that the content can be removed. Our being there or not will not change the demand for the product, but we are the safest place on the Internet right now to consume adult content. If they weren't coming to our site, then they would go somewhere else that has absolutely no regulations, and I believe, both as Canadians and internationally, that we would be in a worse position. As a parent, that would be my position.
