i think the main reason is tax avoidance. These porn sites have so much content anyway that they dont stand to gain from distributing revenge porn. Unless they are super-shady, they remove stuff with a DMCA request
- zwirbl 5y agoFor the other reasons, might it have something to do with serving and profiting from non-consensual, violent and sometimes even illegal material? Like, the way it was (?) on pornhub before they were forced to remove videos from unverified accounts? People can be pro-pornography and still be offended by those practices
- jdrc 5y agotbh i don't buy that unless they have clear statistics. Facebook users upload tons more content , and surely a lot of it non-consensual. Why would porn sites, especially the big ones, care about illegal content, they have tons of content already
- spiralx 5y agoMost companies involved in the seedier side of business keep a low profile to avoid attention though. Tube sites were "disruptive" in that they let users upload copyrighted material and said "it's not us!" so it's even less surprising they'd not want their backers to be easily traced, just look at companies like Tether which have equally shady corporate structures designed to shield their owners because they're operating in - at best - legally grey areas. Fascinating story about the world's largest producer of amyl nitrates, the production of which has always been super-shadowy. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/poppers-factory https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/poppers-facto...
