• Legislation. Is it a crime to forward or teach a sex video?

Although they claim to "vigorously" condemn the use of sex videos to take revenge on a former partner, even though they claim to have "the most advanced anti-revenge policy in the industry," Pornhub has not been able to prevent the denunciation of a woman who leaps to the fore. , under the pseudonym Sophie , he has told the BBC his terrible personal story that, according to the #NotYourPorn movement, is more common than previously thought.

"I don't think I can ever eliminate those images from the Internet," Sophie laments, tearfully taped backlit and dressed in a big pamela to hide her identity, "I just feel sorry for my husband and I feel sorry for my children. When they grow up, unfortunately, they will have images of their mother out there. "

Sophie was walking quietly with her family when she received a call from her sister: her partner had found several videos in which she appeared on Pornhub. One of them had reached the top ten on the main page of the website and had hundreds of thousands of views. "I felt shocked, embarrassed and raped," she remembers now.

"Indeed, I saw myself horrified practicing oral sex with my ex-partner," he says, "and more than 600,000 people had seen it." The relationship was over years ago, and of course she never gave her consent to spread, much less massively, the sexual videos they had recorded in privacy.

No response from Pornhub

In May 2018, just knowing the existence of the images, Sophie asked the portal to remove them. However, they can still be found. Although the original publications disappeared within a week, someone generated a hundred new videos from them. The British woman says that although she repeatedly contacted Pornhub, she never got an answer. From the company they claim that they have no record of such communications.

After also going to the Police and finding no solution, Sophie contacted Kate Isaacs , creator of the #NotYourPorn campaign that fights against porn revenge, which often appears in Pornhub in the " amateur " or "made in" category. home ", two very juicy categories for advertisers, which allow the platform to profit. Isaacs seeks to promote a greater commitment to eliminate such videos.

Pornhub replies: "We consider it sexual assault"

The vice president of Pornhub, Corey Price, has responded to the controversy with a statement, underlining that the platform immediately removes any content that violates its terms of use, "and that includes content without consent."

In addition, he states that in 2015 they positioned themselves against pornography, which they consider "a form of sexual assault", and introduced a complaint form on their website. "We also use the latest digital fingerprint software, which scans any new load for possible matches with unauthorized material and ensures that the original video does not return to the platform," he says.
