Gone from Pornhub?

Didn’t know where to post this, but has anyone noticed that all the jock physical and male physical videos are gone from Pornhub? Anyone have a new place to watch the good old videos?

Go to XNXX the gay section male physicals check that out

Pornhub, for all intents and purposes, is dead. They decided to "clean house" and deleted everything amateur and "unverified". Just about every video I ever found interesting is gone. Someday there will be a business case study I am sure about how Pornhub shot itself in the head and put itself out of business.

Pornhub came under investigation as being suspect of distributing videos with underage models. So anything suspect has been withdrawn for inspection.

It won't be a business study. It will be a study in how to mount a smear and disinformation campaign.

Pornhub, just like Tumblr a few years ago, is suddenly discovered to be harboring objectionable material. Is this material on these sites by accident? Was it planted there so it could be discovered? Whatever the true situation was, it is a tested and time-honored technique to shut down something you are opposed to. Accuse it of impropriety, financial or sexual (which is always best) and let your media allies do the rest. Public outcry is sure to follow.

And that is that.

There will be more sites to follow. You can be sure of it. If people cannot see the creeping prudishness in society, then they are blind.

The people behind pornhub (and hamster, which is in a similar position and reacted similarly) saw this coming, and they are already reorganizing. Other sites very much will follow and grow. This happens basically to any site that gets large enough.

Fetlife will be the next target, but it's founder is....less capable of reacting to it.

You can find some of them here

Interesting that you mention Fetlife being the next target, it doesn't bill itself as a porn site and it is Canadian based. John Baku isn't in it for the money in the beginning but it grew, it was his version of Facebook but for kinky people.

The semi-shutdown of Pornhub is due to a misapplication of the Communications Decency Act which provides a high degree of criminal and civil legal immunity to hosting sites that do not proactively edit or censure content but who do take down reportedly illegal content. To my knowledge, this is exactly how Pornhub operated.

Take big tech on the other hand. Sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have been documented to have engaged in massive censorship of political ideas they dislike. This is in violation of the CDA and all CDA protections should be stripped from these big tech sites.

I’m surprised that there haven’t been a massive number of defamation lawsuits filed against these companies since they should not be able to avail themselves of CDA protections.

Because these sites are not about sexual imagery or activity. That is why. It's a very simple and utterly transparent reason. Once sex becomes involved, there are any number of very determined individuals, groups and organizations who think it their life's work, even duty, to shut down such sites.

The Tumblr/Pornhub strategy is very simple since in large part they contained material uploaded by members. Then it becomes so easy to upload illegal material and see how long before others start crying bloody murder. Or have someone in the know do so. Whatever.

Once the charges are 'underage' or 'human trafficking', there is no real defense possible anymore. It is panic and tar and feathering time.

Wonder which site will be next?

Seems like all Gyno-X Videos disappeared from pornhub as well

I've always thought it the wisest policy to save any material that interests you. Download and save. Even back in the 1990s, you never knew how long a site might be active or not. Always assume the worst. That from one day to the next the material you like will no longer be available on-line at your preferred site.

I'm overly cautious about downloading porn - pictures or videos. First, I don't need any bugs; and secondly I don't want anyone to find it on my computer even though I'm the only user 98% of the time. If something I really liked gets lost - not that big of a deal. I know stuff gets into my computer by watching porn etc. I'm careful to clear history and cookies often - which helps, but nothing protects you 100%.

Well, so I was not the only one noticing this.. hmmm, very bad, they had some great vids up there!

In addition to issues with Pornhub, it seems that you cannot download videos from Xhamster.com any more. Too bad.

There are provisions in new proposed (and certain to pass) US legislation that would prohibit downloading of pornographic material from any and all websites.

Many sites are already setting things up to be in compliance ahead of time. Which means disabling all downloading options. I am not certain if this applies to free download sites only or if pay sites are also included. Nor do I know how non-US based sites will be treated. I can envision requirements that mandate a blocking of such sites by providers.

Hard times ahead and certain to become yet more restrictive in the years to come.

I doubt any U.S. law that prohibits downloading of pornographic but non-obscene (illegal) pornography would pass a court challenge. Obscenity laws are relative well developed in the U.S. with over 50 years of litigation. Anyway, you can always shell out $20 for screen capture software which will record anything streaming on your screen. There is also the technicality to consider in that any video stream you view IS DOWNLOADED to your computer regardless of whether you save it.

The UK, however, is seriously considering a law banning pornographic material on huge social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). It would supposedly apply to only the largest internet companies but I have to assume that smaller companies would eventually be subject to the law. The EU is said to be considering similar legislation.

Big Brother is watching.

I believe you are referring to the Online Harms Bill, which addresses a much broader range of content such as online misinformation, terrorism related material etc. It isn't legislation targeted only at pornography.

This works for short length material, even though there is a considerable loss of quality involved, often in sound. Screen capture software also captures in data-intense formats which afterwards necessitates converting to a more compact format. All of this is time consuming and cumbersome: as is the intention undoubtedly.

There are two solutions to this. First with just a slight bit of technical savvy, it is possible to setup a Virtual Machine on your computer using something like VirtualBox. The beauty of this solution is that you work in an isolated environment that will not infect your main computing environment. One very nice feature is the ability to take a snapshot of your virtual environment before embarking on some kind of activity. If the worst should happen and a virus or other malware is loaded into the VM, you shut the VM down and rollback to the snapshot you took. Everything in the VM is wiped to the point the snapshot was taken.

The second issue with keeping things on your computer is to use an encrypted container through VeraCrypt of similar software. In the case of VeraCrypt, a drive letter is created that contains all the files you wish to save. To mount it, you need to encryption password. When dismounted, the drive letter goes away. Could it stand up to an NSA code cracking team? No way. But for a majority of people who may decide to peruse your machine, it will be locked.

Put everything on an external hard drive only. Connect the drive only when d/l or viewing. Disconnect when not in use, then put in a safe place, but better than where you hid naughty mags when a teenager ...

So under the pillow is a bad option??

I agree with you on the use of a VM like VirtualBox. That's really the most effective way to prevent any virus from infecting your "real" machine since you're in a completely virtual environment. As far as hiding files from prying eyes, I simply encrypt files and directories using 7zip. As you said, it won't stand up to cracking if someone really wants to, but it will prevent a casual and less tech person from seeing things.

Any suggestions on how to exchange videos with a fellow Zity member, privately, e.g. no emails.

@JimmyJohnson 7Zip is very insecure. If you know how to crack it, it only takes a few minutes with a business PC.

Why don't use VeraCrypt Container or disk instead. It's free, open Source and if you configure it the right way, nobody will get your data in your lifetime (if your using strong encryption, strong password and keyfile). There are a lot of instructions online.

You also can share a veracrypt container by ever filesharer. So you only need to exchange the password and keyfile via a secure service (xmpp, PGP...... For example)

What I've read is that the issue is that a significant part of material on this site was filmed and distributed without the consent of the participants, some of whom were minors, and that credit card processing companies threatened to ban payments to them until they clear their business. So, as precaution, they removed many, many things until they could evaluate the situation better.

As far as I know, in the United States the producers (and perhaps distributors) of pornographic movies must keep on file a proof that their actors were over age (and perhaps a proof of consent).

@Pecan_nutjob

I agree with your points. More specifically, that sites like Pornhub have a responsiblity to be able to prove the age and consent of the participants if necessary.

It's reasonable for Pornhub to say that that this proof is the responsibility of the person or organisation uploading the material, but only if they can provide the identity of the uploader. If the uploader can't be identified then the uploader can't be held to account.

The scant details required to set up a personal Pornhub account render the account holder effectively anonymous, therefore consent cannot reliably be established even if the participants are evidently adult. Rather than assess the thousands of videos individually, looking for exceptions that could be allowed to remain, it's more expedient just to delete them all leaving just the uploads from verifiable commercial sources.

The same dilemma will apply to any site where you can upload pictures of other people naked with nothing more than an email address.

@drgyn - what free program to encrypt a single video, that is easy to use, would you suggest? Also, what, free fileshare service?

Thanks

@eeetime I would suggest a VeraCrypt Container like mentioned above. VeraCrypt works with all usual platforms like Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android....

Install VeraCrypt, create a new Container sized a little above the video size and encrypt it. I would recommend a strong password using diceware method and a Keyfile (even if somebody get´s your Passphrase he also needs your Keyfile to open the container). Use a strong encryption method (maybe a combination of AES (Twofish)) and a good Hash-method (SHA-512).

You can use every Filesharer you like. There a some with Lufi System - so feel free to choose one.

Good suggestion. I'll take a look at VeraCrypt.
