okay, so p0rnhub isn’t so cool

P0rnhub prides it­self on be­ing the cheery, wink­ing face of naughty, the web­site that buys a bill­board in Times Square and pro­vides snow plows to clear Boston streets. It do­nates to or­ga­ni­za­tions fight­ing for racial equal­i­ty and of­fers steamy con­tent free to get peo­ple through Covid-19 shut­downs … Yet there’s an­oth­er side of the com­pa­ny: Its site is in­fest­ed with rape videos. A search for ‘girls under18’ (no space) or ‘14yo’ leads in each case to more than 100,000 videos. Most aren’t of chil­dren be­ing as­sault­ed, but too many are.”
Nicholas Kristof, NYT

 

I just wan­na make a post to put my thoughts on po­ten­tial stress/trouble in the sex work­er industry.

So as many of you may know, P0rnhub is tak­ing a big hit right now with cred­it card com­pa­nies no longer al­low­ing pay­ments to be processed through their cards.

Many sex work­ers are freaked over this – and I know many use the plat­form for in­come. The up­set and fear IS valid – tho, in my opin­ion, I feel the site is fi­nal­ly get­ting what’s com­ing to them.

P0rnhub has a his­to­ry of al­low­ing videos of as­saults and videos with mi­nors to re­main up on their site, while also be­ing up­loaded and re­u­ploaded. Be­cause of this, there have been many vic­tims of abuse and trau­ma that have had to re-ex­pe­ri­ence and re­live their trau­ma at the hands of this site’s neglect.

So now they’re do­ing a very long over­due purge of con­tent from their site, which, of course, in­cludes a sub­stan­tial amount of il­le­gal­ly post­ed work. This also means saved copies of videos from in­de­pen­dent sex work­ers that have been post­ed by oth­er users with­out the con­tent cre­ators knowl­edge. Any work up­loaded from non-mod­els and ver­i­fied users is lit­tle by lit­tle be­ing delet­ed, it appears.

I think this is a good thing.

P0rnhub knew there were abuse video up­loads, but only took real pre­ven­ta­tive ac­tion when it start­ed to di­rect­ly af­fect the site’s income.

This piss­es me off – of course – and shows where the moral­i­ty of these com­pa­nies lies.

Who knows how many peo­ple had to suf­fer while one of the largest p0rn com­pa­nies ba­si­cal­ly spit on vic­tims and did noth­ing to sin­cere­ly up­hold their own al­leged policies. 

Fuck you P0rnhub.
