there are many things that PH can do. they could simply require verification of both participants. or they could just reject any such videos if there is even a doubt about consent. I think recently they just axed the whole "community videos" (only because VISA and Mastercard cut ties with them), so you must be a pro to upload. or did that change already? I think the right approach is for gov to regulate this as prostitution (in Europe at least). you can't just let anyone make porn videos because women and children will get abused, same as with prostitution. you regulate it so whoever wants to do it can do it safely. if you're not a licensed porn actor then you can't upload.

If my fetish is people over-eating, does someone who stuffs their face with 10 Big Macs (completely clothed) need to get approval to upload to pornhub? Community uploads to pornhub don't feel like prostitution to me, because for the most part no one is doing it for money, merely because they're horny or enjoy it.

  well if it falls under the legal definition of porn then yes, otherwise no. I don't know what is the legal definition. right now there is no regulation at all, which is crazy. or there is but somehow it doesn't apply to pornhub. we could start with something simple and obvious that covers most videos. something is better than nothing. > Community uploads to pornhub don't feel like prostitution to me, because for the most part no one is doing it for money, merely because they're horny or enjoy it. I meant we can regulate for the same reason prostitution is regulated, to make it safer.

    But if there is no financial incentive in sex, then isn't it more like just attempting to regulate the private sex lives of individuals? Prostitution is regulated, but there is no regulation (at least in any Western country that I know of), that prevents a person from just going out and having sex with other consenting adults.
