Pornhub purges unverified videos from its site amid criticism.

​If you are a frequent visitor of PornHub (and I won't judge you...much), you may have noticed that there aren't as many adult entertainment videos. That's because PornHub recently deleted all unverified videos from its site. The only content that remains are uploaded videos from a "content partner," or a "verified user." 
 
Pornhub will be reviewing and verifying that ALL videos meet the site's trust and safety policy. 
The site recently came under fire for not being forthright in its safety policies. People feared that this lax in enforcement may be leading to child exploitation. Many other issues were found on the site, including videos depicting revenge porn, and videos uploaded without the consent of those in the videos. 

Internet Watch Foundation reported 118 incidents of child sex abuse material on PornHub. Facebook self-reported 84 million incidents of child sex abuse material on the social media platform. 
Pornhub mentioned that they are strictly enforcing that all material uploaded is from verified uploaders, "a requirement that platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat and Twitter have yet to institute."

I'm glad that they are strictly enforcing this. I used to be a verified model on PornHub. Before you guys get all excited about this, I didn't show anything fun. I wore sexy outfits. That's all. Anyway, I did see a lot of content on PH where many of the people in the video were NOT 18 or older. Additionally, I saw a lot of videos that depicted rape, and some of the women being assaulted were NOT acting. I reported everything I saw, and when nothing was done, I took down my profile and never logged in again. 
​
I'm not a porn site hater. I just think that these sites need to be forthright on enforcing safety protocols. It sucks that Pornhub's cage needed to be rattled before they changed their policies. They should have never opened their site up for just anyone to upload videos. ID should always be checked, and it should be a lengthy process to become a model or talent.
