I think Porn Hub is in trouble.
Re: I think Porn Hub is in trouble.
The more people involved, the more likely there are bad guys among them.
Especially when children are involved it is irresponsible.

Re: I think Porn Hub is in trouble.
I often fear for the mental health of the people who's job it is to view all that stuff for legal reasons - surely it must have a long term negative impact on them. I am sure that they eventually get hardened to it but at what cost to themselves I wonder.Gregovic wrote:...a lot of stuff that needs moderating is things like underage/child porn that I really don't want to see.
If PornHub has been allowing this sort of material to be uploaded and viewed on their site then they deserve all they get.

Re: I think Porn Hub is in trouble.
I knew that job couldn't be all it's cracked up to be. That must be why it is poorly moderated. Few people willing to do it, and those who are there are exhausted. I think I meant that question as a joke.
Bondage is like a foreign film without subtitles. Only through sharing and practice can we hope to understand.

Re: I think Porn Hub is in trouble.
I think that perhaps you misunderstood my comment, Shannon. I was referring to the police, and other officials, who need to watch this stuff when they are conducting a prosecution.
As I said it must have a big impact on them mentally having to view child porn as part of their job.

Re: I think Porn Hub is in trouble.
That's kind of you Sasha, and thank you. But I do seem to have gotten myself into trouble with that attempt at sparking conversation. Not sure how to redeem myself. I just came off a vacation. I certainly know the exact reason that came off my keyboard.Sashauk wrote:I think that perhaps you misunderstood my comment, Shannon.

I thought of actually volunteering to moderate for Pornhub after this morning's epiphany (for the right reasons, I assure you, as that other joke ran its course, or rather tripped and fell at the starting line), however I just don't think it would take long for me to become so outraged that I would then work against Pornhub. Rape and bullying are 2 of my triggers, and to top it off, I will do anything to protect children, failing that, I will prevent it from happening again. I would be slashing more than General Grievous with 4 lightsabres with my moderating.
I don't think they need my help to sink. They had 13,500,000 videos last week, and are down to 2,900,000 videos. For a company that started under the radar in 2004 as a place to share pirated content, diluted the industry, then bought out many studios, it did just fine. Any monetary restitution at this point would be like selling the stolen car to pay for the stolen gas.

At least xhamster is still up and running.
Happily married (but always ready to flirt), wife not into anything kinky so it's self-bondage when I can.

No need for thanks, Shanon.

As for Pornhub, I have never been a regular user of this website so I consider myself lucky I have not stumbled across content such as rape and child abuse. I did not know the facts behind PH regarding the sharing of pirated content, but I suppose any site that provides video clips like this must have a fair degree of stolen material.
Unfortunately that goes hand-in-hand with the Internet. Whilst it has enabled people like us to become more connected it has also enabled the access to pirated and illegal material. The music and film industry have been trying (and failing) for years to stop the posting of copyrighted material, but as fast as they close down one site another pops up - it must be like trying to 'whack-a-mole'.
Frankly if PH had been fully aware of what was going on - but was turning a blind eye to it for monetary reasons - then they fully deserve whatever retribution is coming their way.
Re: I think Porn Hub is in trouble.
Totally agree. I didn't know it was that bad either. Only used to get new ideas for bondage.Sashauk wrote:As for Pornhub, I have never been a regular user of this website so I consider myself lucky I have not stumbled across content such as rape and child abuse.

In Europe, a law has just been passed to tackle these matters more strictly. Unfortunately, there will always be back gates.

Re: I think Porn Hub is in trouble.
There is a simple reason we were not finding or aware of abusive content on Porn Hub; we were not looking for it. It was the recent news that turned me from this :

Re: I think Porn Hub is in trouble.
Categories like BDSM just got wiped out at pornhub. It's so bad that things like this happen because children can be involved. I never ran into that kind of content, and I don't want to. Can't even tolerate the thought. The brainless people who promote and upload such content (not the site's owners, they probably don't want that too), by doing that they only contribute to the bad discussion/judgment about BDSM and other related activities and people who practice them.
Thank god boundhub still exists, I jumped and downloaded my referenced bondage videos before the topic gets trendy and more sites get in trouble.

Re: I think Porn Hub is in trouble.
I get the intent, but that will make ANY sort of even remotely "adult" content on any website illegal basically. I REALLY hope the US isn't stupid enough to push that through, because it will definitely do way more harm than good.kinsha wrote:i'll just leave this here: the "Stop Internet Sexual Exploitation Act"
