PORNHUBA deaf man has filed a huge lawsuit against pornography sites, including Pornhab, which is considered the largest porn site in the world, claiming he cannot "enjoy the video content that appears on the site" without translation. New York resident Yaroslav Souris tried to watch videos on the porn site, Pornhab, titled "Auntie Steps a Babysitter on a Disturbed Nephew," "A Sexy Police Officer Witnesses to Speak" as well as other videos during October of last year and January of this year. However, Souris, as mentioned, was unable to watch these videos because they did not include subtitles, according to a lawsuit filed last Thursday in the Eastern District of New York state in the United States.

It is important to note that a significant portion of the purpose of the law is to provide "full and equal enjoyment" of goods, public services , Facilities and all that is implied, according to the lawsuit. "This is a discrimination when websites prevent access to the deaf and hard of hearing," Souris wrote in the lawsuit filed by the court. The law states that its purpose is "to make sure that disability has the same rights and opportunities as the rest of the population." According to a report released several years ago, the number of blind people in the world stands at about 39 million people, while 246 million others suffer from some kind of defect in their eyesight. In other words, over 285 million people suffer from visual impairment.

The same statement also included a link to a category on the site dedicated to hearing impaired, where videos with subtitles appear. Souris has previously sued Fox News, the New York Post and other media entities under the same charges of the law on their websites. He is demanding compensation and fines against Pornhab and the other sites in the lawsuit.
