Pornhub just purged all unverified content from the platform
I'm surprised at how much impact the NYT's expose (I would personally consider it more of a hit piece) has had. I naively assumed that PornHub, as a top-10 site on the web would be immune to such a piece, but I guess I was wrong. How many of the members of the NYT and the Visa and Mastercard boards who created on this outcome watched the videos that are now down? Probably a majority of them, but that wasn't enough to stop the moral panic I guess.<p>As a side note, I think Reddit should now tread very carefully. PornHub had a lot more verification in place for people uploading porn, and even they've now been neutered by a hit piece. Hell, Reddit is somehow still in the iOS App Store despite having copious amounts of porn (and yes, underage porn too even if Reddit will deny it). They're just an opinion columnist's penstroke away from the mob coming to roost.
