Pornhub removed all playlists referring to poppers and trans

[11bi11guy]

I am kind of livid right now. It seems Pornhub has removed all playlists referring to poppers, and I just saw that they deleted my trans playlist too. I had dozens of videos saved to each playlist, and the poppers one was definitely one of my go-tos. I’d like some fucking answers. This is some Puritan Tumblr bullshit.

I'm with you. And soon only 'verified' users can upload videos to Pornhub. there goes our freedom. It all stems from the pressure they got over child pornography being uploaded there sometime somewhere.

As of now I'm downloading all the poppers vids before they are gone.

Same, poppers can't be searched anymore. Guess PH will loose traffic to motherless, x videos, x tube, x hamster, youporn, xnxx...

That Nicholas Kristof article was eye-opening, and child pornography and sexual slavery are huge issues that need to be addressed. I just wish there was a better way to target problematic material without sweeping up other material in the overbroad dragnet that inevitably follows something like this. Poppers trainers and trans/sissy hypno porn are not illegal and have nothing to do with child pornography, and yet my playlists got deleted anyways. Kristof’s suggestion in the article that major credit card companies should suspend operations with Pornhub is an ill-fitting remedy, throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Accepting Kristof’s invitation, as he clearly has no niche sexual interests that have been over-regulated by Puritan moralists: he is a prude, and an ignorant one at that.

Porn hub has suspend all non-verified users that want to upload any new videos; also won’t allow anyone to download any videos via the site too.

Then all credit cards should suspends all operation with stores selling knives or guns or any object that can be used to kill anyone for that matter. It's so ridiculous.

I get why they're being reactionary right now, but to ban trans porn? That's pretty discriminatory.

I have notice a trend away from offering edgy gay on PH more and more bi with women in scenes. And no longer tags on Gangbang its orgy or group. Alot of this is probally part of 40 under bluring gender roles. But let's face it single star hosting sites are driving a nail in the coffin of big porn production companies. Just like the shif way from bath houses gays are becoming mainstream prudes. Even the leather scene is loosing way to stright, bi swingers.

Gave up PornHub some time ago after I discovered Bareback Bastards

To be slightly fairer: Although child porn is one of the big problems they want to solve (and I'm not saying this is the way, just acknowledging the problem), another is "revenge porn", where a person being recorded for sex may not have given his/her consent for sharing or distribution of the recording, but it's shared anyway - sometimes to get back at one of the people in the recording for some slight or another.

Requiring verification of users to upload means that if X person claims to own the copyright to the footage and has permission from the participants, he can be identified and tracked down if it turns out that's not the case.

And yes, we all know that if you take explicit pictures or video of yourself, or others take them of you, you should expect that they'll make their way onto the web. Losing battle though it may be, however, a person still has the right to refuse to give that permission; and sometimes, the person in the videos isn't even aware there was a camera filming. 

At present, US law shields most online content hosting sites from liability as long as they take certain actions to hide or remove potentially illegal content when it's identified (the infamous "takedowns" that get a bad rep). But because such content can spread like wildfire and be impossible to track everywhere it ends up, advocates for those who are harmed by such distribution are pressuring for a change in the laws to hold such sites more accountable. These are defensive moves, designed to reduce the pressure on Congress to curtail the freedom from liability that hosts now enjoy.

And unfortunately, there are enough bad actors out there who abuse the system that the status quo is becoming unsustainable.

Porn has been under attack for a while. Things like craigslist's casual encounters, or the crackdown on tube sites, are not really about combating human tracking. 

Pornhub had something like 1,300 cases of abuse, while Facebook had 81 million, in the same time period. 

The goal isn't about the protection of vulnerable people it's about Christian interests targeting groups they don't like - like gays, sex workers, etc.

In part that's true. But Facebook and the like are less subject to pressure because they run on ads, not on subscriptions or other forms of user payment.

When you take payments from users, you have to accept credit cards. And if you accept credit cards, you're a much, much easier target for anyone trying to shut you down, whether it's for legitimate trafficking/revenge porn cases, or just for moralizing busybodies. If they make it uncomfortable enough for the credit card processors, they'll block your site from accepting that card, and then you're toast.

Pornhub did a huge purge last  night. Every single video in My Favorites is gone. According to the article below they deleted about 76% of their content.
