PornHub sued for making porn hard for Deaf people to enjoy

Deaf man sues PornHub for making porn hard for Deaf people to enjoy...

It's free video time on PornHub

Yaroslav Suris claims that the popular porn site has denied the deaf and hearing-impaired access to its videos that others can easily enjoy.

Suris in his suit says a lack of closed-captioning violates their rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Suris says the deaf and hearing impaired can't understand the audio portion of videos on the websites. Some of the titles Suris says he watched but was completely lost on dialogue -- "Hot Step Aunt Babysits Disobedient Nephew," "Sexy Cop Gets Witness to Talk" and "Daddy 4K -- Allison comes to Talk About Money to Her Boys' Naughty Father," documents obtained from TMZ says.

Suris says he and those in similar situations would shell out dough for Pornhub's premium subscription but calls it pointless without closed-captioning. #Priorities He's suing to get Pornhub to be inclusive and add closed-captioning ... plus damages. We've reached out to Pornhub for comment, so far, no word back.

Meanwhile, Pornhub VP, Corey Price who reacted to the lawsuit, said;

"We understand that Yaroslav Suris is suing Pornhub for claiming we’ve denied the deaf and hearing impaired access to our videos.

"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."
