Since it's not easy (impossible?) to verify age in videos. I'd assume this will start effecting all the other porn sites as well.

Sucks big time..

This might result in more adult theaters opening up across the US (I hope)

I really regret the lose of a huge amount of free content, but I am thinking the argument of "we're not responsible for what people put on our site" is running into the reality of "aiding and abetting the commission of a felony."

I read the article that was linked from the main article. It was horrific what happened to the young woman. It was 2009 where she was 14 years old forced at knifepoint and raped for 12 hours by three men which was posted on Pornhub. She had to go as far as pose as a lawyer to get the video taken down after she contacted them saying she was a minor and was assaulted and to please take the video down. I can understand Pornhub's stance even though a bunch of the videos I watched too were taken down because they were posted by regular users that was not illegal content. I get the message "this video isn't available in your country" There is still plenty of videos on the site. If it runs rampant people could try to enforce that Pornhub be taken down completely.

Similarly when the parent groups years ago got on Yahoo's case for selling adult products in their marketplace Yahoo removed all it including all adult Yahoo groups and adult user chat rooms. By now groups and the chat rooms are defunct.

Xhamster has followed suit today and removed a lot of content from their site. Guess it will be a trend for the moment with all of the major porntube sites

I guess I'm lucky I like the right kind of porn because all this hasn't affected anything I like to watch.

Ah well safety first I suppose. I would be horrified to come across any video of underage content. Bad enough I didn't realize Traci Lord's was introduced to the industry @ 16 by faking her birth certificate and being exploited by one's who knew better and were subsequently prosecuted. I watched and jacked to her for many year's before learning the truth that she left the industry only 2 day's after turning 18 sigh. I write it off now as I was deceived by her and... Once seen I know cannot be unseen.

Will members be notified if the decision is made to take down Jackinchat? It's really a bummer when a website is taken down without notice. It just disappears and no one has any idea what happened.

No problem with underage, or any other illegal or inappropriate content on this well-moderated forum of course, but when the Bible-thumpers go on an anti-porn crusade, you never know what might happen. This would be a great opportunity for the torches and pitchforks crowd to attack any site with adult sexual content.

Like 90% of porn sites are owned by the same company, MindGeek (PornHub included).
