Deaf guy sues PornHub over lack of closed captioning

[ReedeFox]

A deaf guy is well and truly trying his luck after  he filed a lawsuit against PornHub for not providing closed captioning on their videos. According to Yaroslav Suris, who has been deaf since birth, the site is making it harder for the deaf community to enjoy. He said: 
 

It’s denied the deaf and hearing-impaired access to its videos that others can easily enjoy.

 
Here’s what Yaroslav Suris’ lawyer had to say: 
 

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

 
You’re probably wondering why anyone would need closed captioning for porn considering there’s never actually a plot or storyline to follow, but I guess I’m not the right demographic. Also mentioned in the court documents are videos that Yaroslav Suris wanted to watch, such as ‘Hot Step Aunt Babysits Disobedient Nephew,’ ‘Sexy Cop Gets Witness to Talk,’ and ‘Allison comes to Talk About Money to Her Boys' Naughty Father’ are  just a handful of the movies he’d like closed captioning for. Damn, I’d be mortified if someone read out the porn titles I watched. 

 

Suris says that loads of people in the deaf community would happily pay extra for a premium Pornhub account but he doesn’t see the point if they can’t understand the plot of the films.  

Yaroslav Suris is now suing PornHub for an undisclosed amount and insists they add closed captioning. PornHub haven’t yet responded to the case but I hope they don’t give this money-grabbing piece of shit a penny. If it’s truly about the closed captioning surely he’d just ask for it to be implemented and not try to shaft them for money. It’s totally fair to ask for closed captioning but seeking damages just takes the piss.
