I'm convinced I've spotted illegal porn on a mainstream pornsite.

I would report it to the site first. You are actually doing them a favour, they will not keep it on if it is illegal and will most likely remove it and contact the police themselves. Although we do think of porn as a sleezy business these websites pride themselves on having safe legal porn. If you went to the police yourself the first thing they would ask you is "have you contacted the site" because with it being online material it could have been uploaded from anywhere therefor they may not have any legal power to do anything.


Yep I've expressed my concerns and wrote the name of the uploader on their forums, and upon looking at other posts on their forum I found that other people have expressed similar concerns of other videos which is very upsetting to see really.

If it's not taken down in a couple of weeks and no one from the site gets back to me, I'm very happy to take the issue further.

The only thing is, there was a link to another (probably dodgy) site on the corner of the video and it's clearly been uploaded from there onto the mainstream site, I sort of feel like I should find a forum (I doubt they have one) and post my concern there also. :s-smilie:

Have you filled out this form on their website?

http://www.pornhub.com/support

Express your concern through that, it may be more noticeable than forums. xx


Thank you that is helpful.

Although I don't have an account for the site, I'm going to make one and flag the video(s) (I think there are more but I can't bare to click on them). I think I will flag most of them aswell as messaging them directly.

Indeed it is, pruny fingers :colone:

OP should report it to the site, rather than the police. These places have protocols in place for dealing with stuff like that. It's not always intentional by the uploder either, though - some of these videos are shared by people who'd enjoyed them without putting any more thought into it.

Could be worse though - just thank **** we're not still in the p2p days. It was all too easy to download child porn without even realising it. You'd think you've downloaded a "normal" porn video or even just a regular film, and you go to open it - ten seconds later you're repartitioning your hard drive, praying to every god you can think of that nobody was watching/snooping.

Here's a thought.... What if OP isn't a muslim and doesn't give a ... what you think about this? I promise you if I knew what it entailed I would consciously try to break haram rules as often as possible as long as it did not break any of the ten commandments (the Christian ones) and didn't break the law of the country.

all done. I've flagged several videos (with my eyes shut because this stuff really turns my stomach).

I've also sent them several URLS and expressed my concerns.

Hopefully it all gets sorted asap

Thank you for all the help :-)

I'm pretty sure it is intentional by the uploader because I saw under one of his videos him directing people to another dodgy af site to watch longer videos because it's not "allowed" on pornhub.

Some people are extremely ****ed up, it's just disgusting.

Oh god, that sounds AWFUL. I very innocently stumbled across this stuff and was absolutely repulsed, I can't imagine very innocently downloading something like this. I would probably be in fits of tears...

Honestly, I don't think anything is wrong with porn, even the BDSM category as long as everyone is of age and it's all consensual. Things like this are shocking to see.
watch a better category next time

Did you just

PRUNY FINGERS

Uhm...I have no idea what you're talking about...obviously.

On a serious note, I agree. Definitely should be reported to the website.

There isn't anything wrong with that category if it's consensual smh.
Can we have some links, OP?

For science.

Certainly not.

User submitted sites will always have an issue with potentially illegal porn being submitted there are a couple of problems though firstly half of these sites are registered in countries with sod all regulation and thus the plods can't do jack about it. Second proving such a thing is rather hard and thirs you're most likely mistaken seeing as porn producers go out of their way to make the people in it seem as young and convincing as possible.
I think it'd be pretty impossible for them to verify anything about the video, but letting the site know it's there is a pretty good idea so they don't end up sued for somebody else's bs if it turns out to be bad stuff.
