Pornhub bans downloads, disables uploads from unidentified users; here’s why
Pornhub, the world’s biggest porn site has announced to ban downloads and said that it will only allow the identified users to upload, a move which comes following the backlash over its content practices.
The adult entertainment website was recently the talk of the town after a Nicholas Kristof’s NYT report which alleged that Pornhub carries rape scenes, revenge pornography and other examples of explicit video taken without consent of the participants.
The allegations resulted in Pornhub banning downloads and taking other ‘major steps’ to further protect their community.
The company said, “At Pornhub, nothing is more important than the safety of our community. Our core values such as inclusivity, freedom of expression and privacy are only possible when our platform is trusted by our users. This is why we have always been committed to eliminating illegal content, including non-consensual material and child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Every online platform has the moral responsibility to join this fight, and it requires collective action and constant vigilance”
They said that effective immediately, they have removed the ability for users to download content from Pornhub, with the exception of paid downloads within the verified Model Program.
They added that only content partners and people within the Model Program will be able to upload content to Pornhub.
