Adult entertainment website Pornhub disables downloads

SAN FRANCISCO: Adult entertainment website Pornhub has announced to tweak its content policies regarding uploads and downloads after a New York Times report exposed how nonconsensual videos, often involving underage girls, are being posted on the platform. In a statement, Pornhub said it will no longer accept uploads from unidentified users.

The company said it will restrict uploads to content partners and members of the platform's Model Programme.

Once content has been uploaded, Pornhub will block downloading content entirely, no longer allowing users to export content from the site outside of paid downloads. The move came after a NYT report from Nicholas Kristof which initiated an intense backlash against the company and its content practices.

"Pornhub just announced huge changes: a.) allow uploads only from verified users; b.) no downloads; c.) improvements in moderation," Kristof tweeted on Wednesday. (IANS)
