This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
...Ive seen the fact that comments exist on these sites but genuinely who makes an account on pornhub?
How else do I share the best videos with my friends on Facebook?
True. Although, Meemaw was taken back by a few of them.
How else do I save my favourite videos?!
spoiler
Save the url in a text file you dingus
You save the file to disk like a proper pervert
Please ignore my 500GB homework folder.
I was doing that until my mom's pc memory got full so then I started using my sister's pc
PornHUB intro music plays, but morphs into Unsolved Mysteries
ROBERT STACK ENTERS AS HOST
Tonight: a mystery born not of shadowy alleyways or coded dossiers… but of a home computer. A shared machine. And a series of fateful downloads.
On the Fediverse, a decentralized corner of the internet where identities blur and reputations are built one post at a time, a user known only as "imhereforfun" endlessly consumes the storage space of his family member's computers.
What followed was a chain of events that fractured a family, erased a trail digital footprints, and left behind more empty kleenex boxes than answers.
If PornHub has any of your data, congratulations, you are an idiot.
They have endless supplies of free content you don't even have to login to watch, and they don't block ad-blockers or VPNs afaik.
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
I was expecting "we are fucked" after "here’s what we know so far".
Don’t worry though, because there’s no way your ID verification for adult sites will ever get leaked
Who knew that blackmailing people with their browser histories would bring down western civilization?
how much of them are conservatives watching gay or trans porn.
Exactly the first thought I had.
YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS, IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE WORLD'S LONGEST RUNNING GAME SHOW....
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!
PUBLISH ALL OF IT!!
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.
haha
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 can DL the videos?
yeah if you give the money I think I don't know. I haven't tried
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

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
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
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...
Why do you need to log into pornhub? I, um, a friend of mine, uses it fine without logging in...
There was a time when they were pushing the step sibling fetish real hard, like, all the videos in the front page were that, and then they put a banner saying "tired of seeing step____? Why not make an account and filter it out?"
Dunno about y'all but I can wank through the made up plot points without much trouble
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.
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.
This why they are against store peoples ID. And this why those websites should never do it.
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.
Release the pornhub files!
Pornhub has not worked with Mixpanel since 2021, which means that the stolen data would be from that year or earlier. Reuters, who contacted some Pornhub customers to confirm the breach, was able to authenticate that the user data that pertained to those customers was accurate – but was several years old which would be consistent with the Mixpanel data.
We checked our accounts and this is what we found...
2 in the pink, 200 million in the stink
The most embarrassing part about this would be people finding out you actually pay for porn
