How do they know for sure they’ve hosted underage porn?
Pretty hard to tell if a girl is 17 or 18.
Rape videos can be fantasy and consensual, filmed for, you know, pornographic purposes. How are they verifying these are real rape videos?

Lot of organizations keep records of confirmed cases of this kinda stuff and can cross reference it. The issue is instead of going through proper channels, that do work, they just mass send in messages and reports, then complain on twitter when nothing happens.

Welcome Comrades! One of many steps to communism and much more evil things. When your bank can dictate what you can buy. What a wonderful world.

rip pornhub i guess. xvideos/hamster probably the best alternatives

there absolutely should be no illegal content. it's good that it's gone and they are trying to prevent it but they just went nuclear on themselves by deleting millions of perfectly legal content. i guess it was the easiest/quickest way to get of any potential illegal content and of course to quickly get approved by visa/mc again. i just think there could've been a better way to go about it but they were too focused on making sure they'd get money coming back in and they'll basically just killed themselves off. if they had taken another approach they could have kept people visiting but now there's not much reason to go there unless you want paid content.

It's an absolute shame our government didn't have the balls to step in and put a stop to it. Sad that we had to rely on the broken morals of bankers to get the job done.
 
Meh. Still got reddit. Now if reddit goes the way of tumblr and takes all the fun shit away I'll pitch a bitch.

Stop looking at porn friend. If you must bust a nut without sex, use the memory of your own sexual conquests. If you don't have any, fantasize about a woman IRL you know and want to sleep with.

It's terrible for your mind and will leave you poorly equipped for actual sexual encounters.
 
Great news. That site was used to terrorize women for too long for the enrichment of a tiny few people.

When I was in college a female acquaintance had revenge porn uploaded to one of MindGeek's hub sites. She was too traumatized to ask for it to be taken down. Took her ages to tell her friends, who then requested it be taken down and got no response. Dropped out for the year.

Turns out the ex-BF had actually had his phone stolen and everything on there had been posted. Fortunately for him he'd filed a police report that day or he would have been fucked. I think they eventually got the images removed, but I didn't follow up on it.

Making money off unverified uploading was just a disgusting practice. Absolutely no way to prove consent whatsoever, and no responsibility on the user or the site. The "friendly" image they tried to cultivate made me sick, as did how many people bought into it, as does their BS press release comparing apples to oranges numbers regarding CP reports between them and Facebook.

I mean, shouldn't the lesson be "Don't use a mobile phone to film yourself fucking"?

Hard to have sympathy for the brain-dead.
