Rape on PornHub

[Noonling]

Sorry, it's effectively another nonce thread.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-51391981

"It's impossible to miss Pornhub if you use social media," says Rose. "They've done a great job at positioning themselves as a 'woke' mission, almost transcending porn, but videos titled like mine are still on the site. There's no way of knowing if there are rapes on there and the victims don't know it."

In the viral blog post, Rose shared a detailed account of her rape, and called out Pornhub for turning a blind eye until she pretended to be a lawyer. Dozens of women and some men responded to her post, saying that videos showing them being sexually abused had also appeared on the site.

...

She set up Not Your Porn when a sex video featuring a friend of hers (who was under 16 at the time) was uploaded on to Pornhub. Kate says more than 50 women in the UK have come to her in the past six months to say that sexual videos have been posted without their consent on pornography sites. Thirty of them were uploaded to Pornhub.

Just firing off a half baked post as I'm supposed to be system testing and really can't be arsed but have to fend off Slack messages about what's happening so really happy for the distraction:

Am sure this has been raised countless times but where are the servers for these thing held and assuming they're in countries "we" have treaties with why aren't the owners liable for such stuff.

I thought the States had laws that meant revenge porn could be treated as a Sexual Assault offence and I know he UK has upskirting laws that are similar, at least. Not sure how the rest of Europe views things - I imagine the northern lot are more legislative than those hot blooded countries down the south south west of the map.

I think my point is - is it impossible for people to be held to account for hosting / posting this stuff or is it pissing in the wind to imagine that's possible?

Eh?!

[bgmnts]

Horrible story.

Rape porn is popular I think, anything taboo like that. It's almost mainstream, like incest porn.

I do remember a lot of people praising it as woke for donating to charities and stuff.  Earlier in the article:

One day in 2019, as she was scrolling through her social media feed she saw a number of posts about Pornhub. People were praising it for donating to bee conservation charities, adding caption facilities for deaf viewers, donating to aid domestic violence charities and providing $25,000 scholarships for women who want to enter the tech industry.

I'm I right in remembering from that Jon Ronson thing that pornhub owns every other common porn streaming service also?

Are they the sort of company that are as rich as a country and therefore won't get any legal threat from it?

How/why do people upload (mostly) copyrighted content to these streaming sites? Do you get to share some of the ad money, like what happens on YouTube? Or is it just the joy of airing your filth collection with the world, like whoever it was that put porn under hedges in the 80s?

[Pink Gregory]

Sure, donate to charity but still refer to female performers as slut, whore, bitch etc.

Though that's probably more the uploaders.

[imitationleather]

Say what you will, but it's been a long old time since this forum was as funny as the PornHub comments section.

IIRC Pornhub and all the other big porn streaming sites are owned by the same conglomerate that owns a huge number of porn studios, so while most of the content appears to be pirated it's actually ultimately owned by the same parent company.

Most porn involves trafficked or exploited women, many of whom will never have the opportunity to speak out about any rape. Even plenty of known porn actresses frequently suffer all kinds of health damaging injuries. What about all the psychological trauma both of the actors suffer in the aftermath? A significant proportion of the 'stars' you watch will commit suicide eventually. It's all just human misery in video form.

The mainstreamification of it is one of the more horrific things this shitty cunt world decided to move toward, it seems. I fucking hate everything.

Not doubting you. I have no disagreements that a lot of women suffer some in some/many ways in the porn industry. But have you got any data for 'Most porn involves trafficked or exploited women' - Are these Asian, Eastern European and South American women? But how does that compare to the % of porn movies pumped out (heh) by legit, above board safe industries - Western Europe (I assume has higher standards) as does the bigger companies in American porn.

I'm not in anyway denying many, many women are exploited, just more interested in the data, rather than doubting you.

I don't disagree with your sentiments - but where are your metrics from?

[Sony Walkman Prophecies]

I don't agree with the sentiment at all. Sounds like typical Conservative hysteria of the Peter Hitchen variety. Let's all go back to wanking over French lithographs and tattered old copies of Lady Chatterley's Lover, like in the good old days. No fucking thanks. 

Rapes being posted online is obviously a bad thing though, hard to imagine anyone disagreeing with that.

Not very PC to use that term, but I think it's Metricistan.

It does surprise me that there just seems to be no regulatory process if you're uploading amateur stuff, but then I guess there wouldn't be any effective process that wouldn't involve a long process that delays more videos getting onto the site. But at the same time, I would have thought these sites would face a lot more problems when this kind of thing comes up and would need to protect themselves.

Most pornstars are child abuse survivors, and have an extreme and risky attitude towards sex long before they entered the 'industry'. The innocent young virgin corrupted by the big bad porn industry is mainly a fantasy.

Having said that, I don't really approve of porn and how it's an accepted part of everyone's lives now. I don't feel good about myself when I watch it, and I don't think growing up getting your sexual education from porn is a good thing. I 'read' (wanked to) playboy and FHM, but at least I read the odd article about jackets and how to perform cunnilingus, so it was verging on culture compared to today's filth!

Are they? Most of them?
