Don’t worry though, because there’s no way your ID verification for adult sites will ever get leaked
Millions of fake IDs have been leaked.
Dunno why your obvious joke about the effectiveness of age verification was downvoted
It has ONE downvote.
Approximately as many as this comment!
Edit: this ratio is wild.
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? :(
Edit edit: 1v1 me irl
gave you a downvote so it was not all for nothing
You are the Winter in my Summer, Sonor
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?”
Oh shit lol, forgot we could vote on our own shit. Ty for the slightly taller pyre
Nothing compared to your haul though. Let’s see Paul Allen’s doots
Norman Reedus sure likes his porn.
They should have done more penetration testing.
It wouldn’t have taken much effort to find that gaping back door.
They rushed. If you push it too fast it’ll blow up in your face.
Amateurs.
According to ShinyHunters, the records contain extensive data on Premium members including email addresses, activity type, location, video URL, video name, keywords associated with the video and the time the event occurred. 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
Too bad that’s being dismantled right now.
just serves as a reminder that we are all the “product.”
This is going to be fun. Let’s do some Data Analysis with this. Find the republican with the highest amount of watch time of gay porn.
South Carolina has entered the chat
to them it’s not gay unless you’re the bottom.
This is exactly why I’m cautious with websites that store people’s IDs.
No problem. Use someone else’s ID that gets leaked.
Modern problems require modern solutions
interesting
It’ll be fun finding all those “antiporn”, “antidei”, “antilgbtq+” fine people watching exactly that. Bonus points for .va domains.
.va = Vatican city officials, for those too lazy to Google.
Or .gov :)
Anyone who would sign up for a porn website using their .gov email address deserves to have it leaked
There is a subset of boomers who do this shit.
Usually it’s someone whose first email / phone was a company phone and never moved to a personal phone.
Still wild whenever I see it happen.
Older gen-x too.
Stupidity isn’t ageist I’m afraid
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.
I’ve read ‘the last legitimate login was in 2023’ so more like 2 years, but yeah
I don’t see any reference to 2023 in that article, but this:
Pornhub has not worked with Mixpanel since 2021, which means that the stolen data would be from that year or earlier
It was Reuters reporting on the same story
Pornhub’s data with Mixpanel was last accessed by “a legitimate employee account at Pornhub’s parent company in 2023,” according to the statement. “If this data is in the hands of an unauthorized party, we do not believe that is the result of a security incident at Mixpanel.”

Oh, but the children are safe and priority and that’s why they want to verify them. Oh but the children. Think about the children!!! CHILDREN!!!
Children is all US Republicans seem to be able to think about…
how much of them are conservatives watching gay or trans porn.
would be fun to crosslink that list with https://wiki.icelist.is/
PUBLISH ALL OF IT!!
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.
The most embarrassing part about this would be people finding out you actually pay for porn
Oh god the male baby boomers will never recover from this.
Gen X getting forgotten again.
They hope
This why they are against store peoples ID. And this why those websites should never do it.
Yep - it’s a good thing they just IP block users in ID check states or this could have been REALLY bad.
At some point on the Web (in my childhood, in the Russian-speaking parts - around 2002-2004) anything requiring registration was treated as some sort of closed club, and that was about just registration. Though people exposed their ICQ UINs and email addresses, so that you could chat with them (that’s the old way you’d DM a person whose post you liked).
I’m not sure about all these rules of what websites should and shouldn’t do. Perhaps websites should be always treated as some untrusted alien space that can possibly do anything. If you want to do something where such a leak is really bad, or anything worse than a pocket theft of 20$ - then perhaps such a system shouldn’t rely upon untrusted centralized service having everything.
I like the social model that existed then, though. It was somewhat global, now we have modern Web services (even if in Fediverse) that expose everything over the Web, posts, DMs and so on. Back then forums were websites, DMs were in ICQ\XMPP\Skype, email as its own thing, feeds as RSS.
The next argument would then be, “then the site should not exist”
Porn ban complete.
I’ll never understand why people create accounts in the first place
To argue in the comments 😅
I never saw it myself, but I heard someone posted the big moment of Avengers Endgame in the comments of a lot of videos.
We all saw that… cummin
Ranked matchmaking
Wanked matchmaking
Go on…
No, seriously, is the algorithm any good?
To curate and follow specific models of course. 😀

haha
… I can DL the videos?
yeah if you give the money I think I don’t know. I haven’t tried
Eh. Good I never had premium then.
(Though I suspect my porn habits were exposed in much detail otherwise via something like personalized state surveillance.)
I have heard people try to explain why they log in on porn sites: It saves your favorite videos, it recommends new videos and it makes it possible to see paid content.
All three things are reasons why I don’t want to log in. Yeah, like I want a list of my perversions attached to my name.
Just bookmark the stuff, it’s easier than making an account anyway
Just download everything, storage is cheap. No reason not to have a few TB of high resolution porn of exactly what you like.
Wow that’s not true at all…at least for most people… I wish I had the money to buy a 12tb HDD to hoard some media. It took me a year to buy 2 2tb HDDs for my jellyfin server…yes ,I’m poor in a poor country.
In case you haven’t been paying attention, RAM and storage prices are on the rise due to the data center rush.
RAM is insane but storage is cheap. You can get recertified drives for a NAS for like $16/TB.
I have a decent memory. 60% of the time, it works every time.
My bookmarks list is too big and searching doesn’t help since the names the bookmarks are given are too similar by the automatic process. Also can’t thumb up stuff without an account and bookmarking is also a statistic to show popularity of the artists work. Idk what happens on pornhub though.
My bookmarks list is too big

What are you doing Step-mark?

It’d be fine by me if gov’s weren’t so puritanical.
