CONTENT WARNING: This message contains references to sensitive content, including sexually explicit content involving minors and non-consensual acts.
Aylo owns and operates several free, ad-based websites, including Pornhub.com, Youporn.com, Redtube.com, Tube8.com, and Thumbzilla.com, as well as subscription-based websites associated with its free sites, including Pornhubpremium.com (“Websites”).
The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the Utah Division of Consumer Protection (“Utah”) allege that some of our Websites made available videos and photos containing child sexual abuse material (“CSAM”) as well as non-consensual material (“NCM”), such as revenge porn and spy camera videos.
We’ve entered into an agreement with the FTC and Utah that requires us to take steps to keep CSAM and NCM off of our Websites. To resolve the case, we must have a comprehensive program with robust safeguards to:
- Verify that uploaders of pornographic content to our Websites are at least 18 years old;
- Verify that performers in pornographic content on our Websites are at least 18 years old;
- Verify that performers in pornographic content on our Websites have given written consent to the production and publication of the pornographic content;
- Allow performers to request to have content they appear in removed from our Websites [https://www.pornhub.com/content-removal]
- Allow registered users to report CSAM and/or NCM on our Websites by flagging content, comments, and direct messages;
- Allow users to request removal of CSAM and/or NCM from our Websites [https://www.pornhub.com/content-removal];
- Remove actual or suspected CSAM and/or NCM Aylo becomes aware of from all of our Websites; and
- Publish a report twice a year describing how we are taking steps to prevent CSAM and/or NCM from appearing on our platforms.
An independent third party will audit our practices to make sure we are taking steps to prevent CSAM and NCM from appearing on our Websites. These audits will happen every two years for the next 10 years.
