Deaf man sues Pornhub over lack of closed captioning

Watch the latest video at foxnews.com

Yaroslav Suris is suing pornhub cause he can't read what is going on in porn videos. It seem that the site's lack of subtitles violates the rights of deaf and hearing impaired under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) according to Suris. I find it odd that the website actually already has closed captioning. Even the Vice President of Pornhub Corey Price had this to say

"We understand that Yaroslav Suris is suing Pornhub for claiming we’ve denied the deaf and hearing-impaired access to our videos," he told the outlet. "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."

Now i can't actually post URL's to actual videos but if you search "Close Captioning in the search bar you get results with videos that have the "CC" icon near the title of the video.
