“Without closed captioning deaf and hard-of-hearing people cannot enjoy video content on the Defendants (sic) Websites while the general public can,” stated court documents. The Websites (sic) numerous videos which cannot be accessed by deaf and hard of hearing individuals are in violation of the ADA (American’s with Disabilities Act) and New York laws,” the court document reads. “Videos include most of the Websites (sic) videos in addition to the videos the Plaintiff tried to access mentioned herein.”
The Brooklyn native also wants premium content and subscriptions on Pornhub but thinks it’s pointless without the closed-captioning. Pornhub Vice President Corey Price has since issued a statement to TMZ saying the site does in fact have closed-captioning.
“We understand that Yaroslav Suris is suing Pornhub for claiming we’ve denied the deaf and hearing impaired access to our videos. While we do not generally comment on active lawsuits, we’d like to take this opportunity to point out that we do have a closed captions category.”
In court, Suris is looking to receive unspecified damages and compliance with ADA and New York law. You can’ be mad at him at all. Deaf people should enjoy pleasure too.
