The cascading effects of the harassment and trauma that followed led her to leave school and fall into addiction to cope she is now sober and living in her car.Īnother woman, known only as Taylor, was secretly taped by a boyfriend performing a sex act when she was 14 he also sent the video to his friends, and that also wound up on Pornhub. She petitioned the company to take the images down, but they would quickly get re-uploaded one video of her at 14 has more than 400,000 views. They include Serena Fleites, who at 14 sent nude videos to an older boy she had a crush on he distributed the videos to his friends, and they wound up on Pornhub. But the changes come a bit too late for the women Kristof interviewed for his investigation. They will make it harder to upload illegal content with impunity, and harder to steal and spread it. These changes will hopefully go a ways toward mitigating future harm from the child sexual abuse images and taped assaults that will inevitably still get uploaded to the site. The “download” button was also removed, making it harder for videos of rape and child molestation to be reuploaded or spread. Users would now need to be verified in order to upload videos, making it easier to hold those who upload to the site accountable for the way the videos are obtained and produced. This combination of factors had made the site into a harbor for rape tapes, child sexual abuse images, revenge porn and spycam videos, and a wellspring from which such content was spread across the internet.Īlmost immediately following the publication of the Times report, Pornhub and its parent company, the Montreal-based pornography conglomerate MindGeek, announced changes to the platform. The Times investigation found that the company’ under-prioritized and understaffed content moderation division was often slow to taking illegal content down and ineffectual at preventing it from being re-uploaded, either to Pornhub or to other pages. But unlike other such platforms, Pornhub also allowed users to download the material and re-upload it elsewhere on the internet.
Like other social media sharing platforms, such as YouTube, Pornhub has historically allowed any user to upload any video they want to the site.
