Oh noes my porn viewing history!
Imagine the juicy search history’s people might be able to link up with bigots and racists. Let’s find JDs account, $5 there’s couch fucking videos.
If PornHub has any of your data, congratulations, you are an idiot.
They have endless supplies of free content you don’t even have to login to watch, and they don’t block ad-blockers or VPNs afaik.
I was expecting “we are fucked” after “here’s what we know so far”.
Oh, but the children are safe and priority and that’s why they want to verify them. Oh but the children. Think about the children!!! CHILDREN!!!
Children is all US Republicans seem to be able to think about…
Who knew that blackmailing people with their browser histories would bring down western civilization?
Release the pornhub files!
2 in the pink, 200 million in the stink
Oh god the male baby boomers will never recover from this.
Gen X getting forgotten again.
They hope
Yeah I never understood why anyone would create an account. It’s not like you need one to watch the videos.
Funny, I never made an account there.
The most embarrassing part about this would be people finding out you actually pay for porn
This why they are against store peoples ID. And this why those websites should never do it.
At some point on the Web (in my childhood, in the Russian-speaking parts - around 2002-2004) anything requiring registration was treated as some sort of closed club, and that was about just registration. Though people exposed their ICQ UINs and email addresses, so that you could chat with them (that’s the old way you’d DM a person whose post you liked).
I’m not sure about all these rules of what websites should and shouldn’t do. Perhaps websites should be always treated as some untrusted alien space that can possibly do anything. If you want to do something where such a leak is really bad, or anything worse than a pocket theft of 20$ - 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.
The next argument would then be, “then the site should not exist”
Porn ban complete.
Yep - it’s a good thing they just IP block users in ID check states or this could have been REALLY bad.
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.
In the unlikely event I had to create a porn site account even the NSA wouldn’t be able to link it back to me.
“Here’s what we know so far”
…
Hay guys maybe we should just let this one go, ya know l.
We don’t really need to dig any deeper, I’m sure it’s fine.
