Among the changes are Visa and Mastercard cutting ties with the site, which will leave many already struggling porn producers scrambling for income

authored by Republican and anti-porn crusader Sen. Josh Hawley, has largely been marked by “panic,” says porn performer Siri Dahl. Although it is largely known as a free porn website, many sex workers use Pornhub to sell their content and depend on it for their income, and they were outraged and terrified by the news. “It’s a huge blow to us as sex workers and models. It will not hurt Pornhub as they have always made money off of stolen content,” says Dee Siren, a content creator and director.

Alana Evans, president of the adult performer union APAC, sees it as “the tip of the iceberg in the war on porn,” in the same vein as anti-trafficking legislation like FOSTA/SESTA. The legislation was intended to curb trafficking on the internet but had the end result of endangering sex workers by shuttering networks like Backpage, which sex workers relied on for both income and as a vetting resource.

In recent years, Pornhub has attempted to salvage relations with content creators by starting programs like ModelHub, which allow verified performers like Alex and Cassie to sell their content on the website. Most of the performersspoke with have acknowledged that Pornhub is also fairly responsive to DMCA takedown requests when they see their pirated content on the site.

Thank you . This payment processor ban won't affect CP & only hurts legal, verified models since CP uploaders don't give PornHub their ID, address & tax info in order to be verified & receive payment on vids. Also, CP is staggeringly prevalent on FB/Twitter.

Unfortunately, we all need to take action in abandoning porn hub. Onlyfans is the way to go.

Pornhub upended. Good visual. Fuck them.

As long as it affects sex traffickers and non consensual/rape videos from making $$. Sex workers must own their bodies and their work.

Shit

Sex workers will find other jobs Pornhub was vehicle for juvenile sex assault and rape Who on earth would ever want to be associated with that?

Good 😌 because adults forget that KIDS can see this crap 💩 and that’s just WRONG 😑

This news article has a skewed narrative rather than addressing issue at hand. I don't see why reader should care about Mr.Kristoff when the sex work and illegal content should be prioritised. You don't need to do a smear attack on Kristoff to prove a point..

Pornhub upended? Insert anal joke here. What? Gather the troops, batten down the hatches, release the hounds... Wankers unite! Where's that bottle of Jergens...
