PornHub
The adult-entertainment website Pornhub announced Tuesday that it would be launching enhanced measures that "revenge porn" victims could use to flag content published without their consent.
Pornhub announced that it would implement a new online submission form to replace the previous policy of accepting takedown requests via email, according to The Verge
.
Revenge porn, the term for sexually explicit images are posted to the web without consent, has become a hot-button issue
. Several states have implemented laws against revenge porn, but, as with anything posted to the internet, erasing it completely is extremely difficult.
If you have any issues relating to wherever and how to use sex, you can get in touch with us at our web site. Pornhub get around 60 million visitors a day, making it one of the top online porn sites. The company did not disclose the number of revenge-porn takedown requests it receives but said complaints had fallen 38% over the past two years.
Complaints directed through the form will be investigated by Pornhub, and material will be removed as the company sees fit. The company, however, declined to elaborate on the process it used to verify complaints.
Pornhub CEO Corey Price wants users to understand that implementing the new security process is first and foremost for their protection. "Being a revenge-porn victim is embarrassing enough as it is - we would rather not make the reporting process equally awkward, or make people feel apprehensive about approaching us to begin with," Price told The Verge.
