    LMAO at anyone who made, or paid for, a PornHub account.

    “Yes, I would like to log into PornHUB using my GMail account, please, for my convenience” - I just checked, they have SSO for Gmail and Twitter! AHAHAHAHAHAHA I’m dying

    Yeah I never understood why anyone would create an account. It’s not like you need one to watch the videos.

    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?”

    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.

      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.
