I haven’t masturbated without a mask on since March.

That's very interesting. They did have abuse on there - hopefully they will stick with their all adult content now.

It seems they removed only un-verified videos - where the account or actors could not be verified.

Yup, I just checked and it seems like more than half of the vids I had favorited on Pornhub have been removed. Interestingly, all of the femdom mixed wrestling videos are gone. Hmm. I checked some of my other favorite sites like X-Hamster, You Porn and a couple others and it's the same thing. Luckily, I had favorited so many titles over the years that I still have a lot of spank bank material. For now that is. But this is pretty scary. No telling how far this will go. I just can't imagine whipping out my old Playboys and grabbing my lotion when I want to rub one out. I guess it's a good thing I kept my old porn VHS videos all these years.

These sites are better. Spankbag, Vporn, Porntrex ,Eporner are much better heck even Cliphunter is better!

This site is good for all the free premium porn sites. https://theporndude.com/

This may seem like a dumb question but isn’t a video self verifying? I am seeing the porn actors engage in sex acts.

Man - I just saw this... no wonder it felt empty... I will be fun to see their traffic (number of ppl per day visiting the page)... it will go down a lot for sure!

It's a dumb question since you would figure it's verification enough as it is here. Different standards though.

So what they had on the low end of things was dudes posting videos of them with a SW or other provider which is videoing an illegal act so they don't know the identity of anyone there. No means of verifying. Then we have the revenge porn where it's some guy with his GF and while the video is being filmed with consent how do we know there's consent to post that online? (This can apply to the providers in the first videos as well). Now the worst is they had a very great many instances of people who were too young.

There was one instance where a young woman was actually gang raped and it was filmed and then it was shared around on pornhub. THAT was a travesty and for a long time Pornhub gave her the cold shoulder for almost a year before public pressure got them to act. Hell they didn't decide to take these drastic steps until credit card payment processors threatened to blacklist them. I"m no finger wagging prude but that place is a hell hole of exploitation that's pretending to be good now.

There's also the girlsdoporn where PH got a lot of backlash for hosting their coerced content and that some of the women were under the age. That was last year and they were slow to react to that as well.

Considering the nature of this demographic, I would certainly hope not. But I had no idea the PornHub was doing all this dodgy stuff. I wonder if these women could file some sort of class action lawsuit.

I typo'd since I'd just woke up but I should clarify I meant it's NOT a dumb question.

Yeah aren't most of them in jail now? I think the founder got away though.

I mean jeez wait until you find out all the dodgy stuff that goes on in the hobby.

I believe so, but the guy who owned it is wanted by the FBI which is something at least.

that happens with any sort of user uploaded content. If you look hard enough even on youtube you'll fund a lot of dodgy stuff. It's just how these websites handle these sort of things determines the backlash of it all. Youtube isn't really in the media for any of this, because they take it extremely seriously. Meanwhile PH looks the other way. It's not exclusive to PH either, it's just girlsdoporn kinda started to get the ball rolling afaik.

Funny thing is youtube doesn't do a good job of policing content either though with the sheer volume I don't know how they would. But for fun go search something like "naked yoga" on youtube.

Regarding the GDP trash: I think that's it's a largely unavoidable issue: There's always evil and they can't be educated out of it. I mean does someone really need to be taught that impairing someone, purposefully isolating them, and then filming them having sex is evil? And that's even without the coercion of "We'll cancel your plane ticket home."
