“Porn Mogul Pays Over $1.5M to Settle US Sex Trafficking Investigation”

Pornhub’s parent company Aylo Holdings will pay $1.8 million to the U.S. government to resolve a charge of profiting off of sex trafficking. In the worst cases, this can mean that victims of sex trafficking are portrayed in these adult videos against their will, or even without their knowledge. By 2019, a federal grand jury in the Southern District of California indicted GDP for sex trafficking, among other charges. But it wasn’t until several months after GDP was found guilty of sex trafficking that the network’s videos were removed from Pornhub and other Aylo sites. Among other safety measures, the act requires platforms to comply with certain child protection provisions.

Google Aims to Address German Antitrust Worries Regarding Bundling of Automotive Services

It also objected to Google limiting or refusing to allow interoperability of services included in GAS with third-party services. “We are particularly concerned about the compulsory bundling of services with great market strength and reach with services that are less strong. “Google is also prepared to eliminate its contractual provisions on setting Google services as default applications or displaying them prominently in the infotainment platform,” the FCO also noted. The question of whether Google’s proposals will result in an unbundled offering of Google’s services in the automotive sector will be decisive in this context,” it added. Which may give the FCO reason enough to continue its scrutiny of Google Maps in the meanwhile.
