People upload snippets of porn to Pornhub to be shown for free, to attract people to their paid-for porn sites.

In theory, everyone is over 18 with ID on file, but (as anyone who was ever a high school student who wanted to get into a bar, and lots of illegal aliens, can testify) getting fake ID is not hard.

[RandFan]

Yeah this is true and a flaw in their model. They will get sued into the ground over this..

[SauronOfMordor]

From the article, the owners have lots of shell companies. I’m sure they anticipated trouble and have as few seizable assets as possible.

Is this one of hunter’s hang outs?

[Eagles6]

Yes, it is.

Hunter was sending links to PornHub videos to his father....perhaps even some of the underage ones!

Realistically, you are not going to stamp out underage porn without 1984-level totalitarian control over the internet, which I think is the real objective here.

What you would need is highly secure digital ID, and a requirement for every upload, posting, or video conference connection.

You could no longer post anonymously on places like FR.

And even then, that would not work.

In this internet age, any teen can have a naked video chat with someone, with the customer paying in bitcoin or cash-bought gift cards.

I agree. We have far more serious issues like sex slavery and child abductions to be concerned with.

In fact, such sites are often used by investigators to find missing children because their abductors post videos of the abducted.

That we live in a world where a site like PornHub exists tells me all I need to know about where we are on God's timeline.

Looking forward to His return.

Be glad you are innocent enough to believe that. The are sites in the "dark web" (accessible only visa TOR) that make Pornhub seem like 1930s era Disney on comparison.

A particularly unenjoyable job I had several years ago had me doing some stuff on the dark web from a national security perspective. Not fun...

[MayflowerMadam]

“Resign”?! Is that all? How about turning themselves in to the authorities for prosecution?

[gitmo]

Pornhub added that it employs moderators to screen every upload and that it removes illegal material.

Now there’s a job description from hell.

[Gay State Conservative]

Given that you know the “dark web” so well maybe you can help me find the Nigerian prince who promised me “four million USD"

[markomalley]

Look for him in Guangdong.

[Gay State Conservative]

That’s not in Nigeria!

[Carriage Hill]

SPJNK¹⁰⁰.

[darkangel82]

Trump DOJ missed a good chance to shut it down

[EEGator]

Did you traverse the “Silk Road”?

[Herakles]

This dirt bag democracy is not worth keeping!
