You're listening to? Serious inquiries only.

Hello and welcome to Serious Inquiries only. This is episode 270. I'm Thomas Smith and

got a really interesting episode coming at you today. I'll let Eli Bosnick, who I'm

sure most of you have heard and know and love, do the explaining, but Nicholas Kristoff

of the New York Times wrote an opinion piece about Hornhub alleging that there's a lot of

child trafficking and also underage porn videos, all kinds of bad stuff. Eli will detail it.

The problem is, despite him being somebody that I generally respect and read, he seems

to have been perhaps duped by a Christian anti-porn group. It's really an interesting topic.

I will note there's discussion of porn, there's discussion of sexual assault, at least in

so far as it's alleged and stuff like that. If that's something you're sensitive to,

if you don't want to hear, we discuss terms and stuff. We don't discuss anything in

gory detail or anything like that, but terms are thrown around that you can imagine. That's

a content note for you. Let's get on over to Eli and talk about this really interesting

and perhaps really harmful article. I am joined by Eli Bosnick, first time on the show,

how you doing a lie. Serious somethings? Is this? There's an inquiry going on somewhere.

I don't know what podcast is for. I just record stuff and then I make a new podcast for

later. We'll see what podcast this ends up being. How are you doing, buddy? Now I want

you to just put this on the shoes. At least they'll get something then. They probably love

it.

Super amazing natural transition to a disturbing topic. December 4th, Nicholas Kristoff,

I've always admired on the New York Times op-ed section. He released an article called

The Children of Pornhub and the subtitle is subheading his Why Does Canada Allow This Company
