The head of the company, Steve Hirsch (Steve Hirsch), said that no search engine and portal have yet made significant steps in this direction. Hirsch intends to read a lecture at Yale University about this issue as part of the "sex week" there.

The head of Vivid clarified that the question of filtering porn content has nothing to do with restricting freedom of speech, but is intended to protect children.
Search engines, in turn, say that they have developed mechanisms for the so-called safe search, which allows children not to show information to adults. One of the largest video portals, Youtube, for example, contains almost no such materials or marks them in a special way.
In mid-January, Steve Hirsch publicly declared war on Internet users, saying that Vivid is suing the Pornotube website. This site publishes free videos for adults. According to Hirsch, the emergence of just this and similar sites was the reason that since 2004, sales of DVDs have fallen by 50 percent.
Among the accusations against Hirsh was the accusation that the owners of pornography do not check the age of users and participants of video clips.
