PORNHUB AND PORN IN THE UK Hey, anyone else read the news? Do you know what's been going on in the UK vis-a-vis porn? Not only has the UK already begun banning sites that feature "unconventional sex acts", stuff that wouldn't be certified for DVD sales in the UK. This includes female ejaculation, golden showers, sexual violence, and cartoon porn including Hentai. BUT, they want every adult site to get people to verify their age and the UK govt wants Pornhub, or more accurately it's parent company, MindGeek, to do it for them! It's all pretty crazy and will result in Pornhub being even bigger! Not to mention, increase in data collection, data breaches, credit card scams ('cause that's one of the main ways they can verify ages), and a whole lot more mess. Anarchy in the UK? Not even! Here's an interesting article to read. https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/9kqp4...re-not-going-to-like -D | |

I like how unprofessional the email from PornHub is. Calling the minister by name without any title preceding it and signing off with an emoticon, it's like this "senior representative" from MindGeek is texting buddies about weekend plans. I am not sure that if I were a government official I'd be entrusting citizens' private information with a corporation of this size that can't be bothered to write in an appropriately formal and respectful manner. I thought the Brits tended to be quite old fashioned about these kinds of things. However, maybe porn is such a shady business in their uptight eyes that they assume such casual correspondence is par for the course? | |

I THINK THE ARTICLE IS FASCINATING. https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/9kqp4...re-not-going-to-like AND IT COULD MAKE MINDGEEK ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL COMPANIES IN THE WORLD. MINDGEEK IS ALREADY A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY. BUT IF THEY ARE ABLE TO CONTROL AGE VERIFICATION, AND INCREASE THEIR DATA COLLECTION CAPABILITIES, THEY COULD BE ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL COMPANIES IN THE WORLD. AND WHAT PROTECTIONS DOES A CONSUMER HAVE ABOUT THE PERSONAL DATA THEY COLLECT? ZERO. THEIR WORD THAT THEY WILL SAFEGUARD THE DATA IN A SAFE AND SECURE MANNER. RIGHT.  IF A TRUMP ADVISOR READS THIS ARTICLE, HE MIGHT SUGGEST THAT TRUMP COULD BROKER A DEAL WHERE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT PASSES AN AGE VERIFICATION LAW, FOR THE PROTECTION OF OUR CHILDREN. IN RETURN, TRUMP COULD BE A SILENT PARTNER IN MINDGEEK, WHICH APPEARS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST PROFITABLE COMPANIES IN THE WORLD. LET US ALL JOIN IN THE FIGHT AGAINST PORN. AND MAKE SOME REAL MONEY ON THE SIDE, WHILE WE'RE AT IT. CAPITALISM AT ITS FINEST. | |

THERE IS A WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE ON FABIAN THYLMANN, THE FOUNDER OF MANWIN(MINDGEEK). IT STATES THAT THYLMANN SOLD HIS STAKE IN THE COMPANY FOR €73 MILLION IN LATE 2013. THAT MAKES NO SENSE. IF THE ARTICLE STATING THAT THE IRISH SUBSCRIPTION WING OF MINDGEEK REPORTED REVENUES OF $427.17 MILLION BETWEEN 2014 AND 2015, THEN UNLESS THYLMANN ONLY OWNED A TINY FRACTION OF THE COMPANY, HE SHOULD HAVE SOLD FOR A FAR LARGER AMOUNT OF CASH. THE ARTICLE THAT LISTS THE IRISH SUBSIDIARY OF MINDGEEK IS: https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/9kqp4...re-not-going-to-like | |
