Pornhub.com is likely facing its own reckoning as it comes to terms with the idea that it alone is responsible for many wrongdoings on the internet. But, there are more sites out there than just Pornhub — all of which likely are discussing changes of their own behind the scenes.
I think it’s important to remind people that porn is a part of life just as sex is. The allegations against Pornhub are very much real and should be taken with considerable concern. Although, that doesn’t mean other sites shouldn’t be looked just as muc to ensure that things are being done correctly.
It is the reckoning that brought Pornhub to the conclusion that it was time to go nuclear and reportedly remove unverified videos. The move rightfully deleted millions of videos — lots of which did actually contain videos that otherwise shouldn’t have been there. It widely is no secret that Pornhub hosted illegal content; references to children/teens, abuse against young girls/women, and more often than not videos that were recorded with consent from only one person rather than two.
The move has taught us that despite claims from tech companies it is fairly easy to actually “go nuclear” or moderate their site. It’s just a matter of public pressure to do the right thing. Because most certainly nobody is calling for its outright abolishment, that, in itself is a tad extreme considering their are consensual videos; consensual of age sex workers, and so on that populate that realm of the internet.
Most are coming to terms with the idea that the move, however, might be the death of Pornhub as we know it. The site, for the most part in its model program, hosts a bevy of fairly boring videos that are rather vanilla. It was the amateur videos that added the mystery sauce to the site.
