      Exactly the first thought I had.

      *Gameshow Music*

      YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS, IT’S TIME TO PLAY THE WORLD’S LONGEST RUNNING GAME SHOW…

      WHICH QUEERPHOBIC PUBLIC FIGURE IS WATCHING QUEER PORN!

      Let’s Greet our Contestants, shall we?

      He’s so homophobic someone renamed a mix of Cum and Lube after him, it’s Rick Santorum!

      He’s so transphobic JK Rowling told him to tone it down, It’s Graham Linnerhan!

      Despite wearing platform shoes, he wants to make all forms of Queerness a crime, it’s Ron DeSantis!

      And finally, she’s called for Transgender Women to be executed en mass, for famous transwomen to be raped, and she’s featured in some of the Queer porn in question, it’s Lily Cade!

      Considering conservatives are the ones most likely to “sign up”(fuck that is a strange thing to type! Imagine needing to vote and comment on porn!), I’m betting on the over.

    Don’t worry though, because there’s no way your ID verification for adult sites will ever get leaked

        Dunno why your obvious joke about the effectiveness of age verification was downvoted

              Not sure if this hack has a name, but usually once someone in a comment tree makes a joke about downvotes — e.g., clowning on an edit complaining about a downvote — rules are suspended for all comments that follow, and you can accrue lots of downvote salutes FOR FREE.

              (Maybe not my comment since I’m late to the downvote party, but here you go;)

              Edit: why the upvotes? :(

                I also got the party started by being the first to downvote myself. The first person to upvote me probably made it look like I didn’t downvote myself.

                But the second person to upvote me… Now that’s the real bastard. They made my comment seem like it deserved upvotes, and ushered in others who thought this was a comment worthy of their support.

                If I ever find out who gave me that second upvote… I’d probably be like, “huh? What second upvote? What are we even talking about?”

Activity types include whether the subscriber watched or downloaded a video, or viewed a channel and events include search histories.

    This sort of thing is one of those examples why “no log, no profile” service is probably a good idea. The service could have offered the option to charge a fee for access, but not retain customer activity data. They didn’t do that. At some point down the line, someone got ahold of the data, which I imagine that their customers are not really super keen on having floating around attached to their identities.

    Probably a lot of companies out there that log and retain a lot of data about their customers.

      Good idea for consumers. Too bad nobody cares about that. Unless it’s their core business.

      This is exactly why we need GDPR

      Depending on the industry you might be required by law to keep some information for a certain period of time.

        Which is exactly why you want to deal with companies that don’t collect that data in the first place. You know, exactly what he said.

        I’ve watched pornhub a million times, but my data isn’t in this breach. Know why? Because I never made a profile or gave them one shred of information in the first place. All they could possibly have is a browser fingerprint and my VPNs various IP addresses. That is the point.

          Ok, but you’re also choosing to not use the features that would require an account. Not everyone has the same use case.

      Yep - it’s a good thing they just IP block users in ID check states or this could have been REALLY bad.

      The next argument would then be, “then the site should not exist”

      Porn ban complete.

    Sorry, but I don’t think we’re emphasising enough that Pornhub shared details of its users, such as their search history and watched videos, with an external company and that external company kept that data for over four years after their relationship ended.

    It’ll be fun finding all those “antiporn”, “antidei”, “antilgbtq+” fine people watching exactly that. Bonus points for .va domains.
