Porn is harder to access
Porn is harder to access
Why the hell is every app and program out there just being prude bitches and making porn harder to access?
You're viewing a single thread.
I've got a few theories:
My guess is that certain companies are concerned about repercussions related to porn related content due to an impending buyout or IPO. Personally I don't blame them.
Advertisers hate it, payment providers hate it.
Fediverse has recently been attacked by CP spammers, and instances like the one I'm on has actually shut off image sharing all together.
Moderation is a problem globally, even if this content slips through automated filtering there will always be exposure, and always people affected. And unfortunately the tolerance for CP or even copyrighted content is precisely zero due to public backlash and the news articles.
Exactly. There are a lot of sketchy porn related businesses, and porn is ripe with abuse. Also, porn sites have a moderation problem. It is difficult to verify that the videos people upload don't contain CP (it's hard to tell someone's age just by looking at them), rape, if the people actually consented to the video being uploaded etc. PH decided to just delete all non-verified uploaders, and it is understandable why.
A lot of businesses just don't want to be associated with that, or have to moderate that, or have any involvement. And this also affects their relationship with other businesses.
Are there even sites with user-uploaded content anymore? I feel like it’s only studio content (which is safer, but we miss out on real amateur videos)
A hundred percent.
And enabling NSFW isn't enough, many people would rather choose what type of NSFW to see.
An yeah, the difference between simulated rpe and rpe doesn't come across in videos I suspect.
Even without CP, they flood everything, with no respect for topics or categories. Certainly there are times when I don’t want to see porn, but more importantly there are lots of times when I want to be able to find other things
