Pornhub said it has banned uploads by unidentified users in an attempt to prevent "non-consensual material" and videos of children being sexually abused.
"Going forward, we will only allow properly identified users to upload content," the pornographic-video-sharing website said in a statement yesterday. For now, "only content partners and people within the Model Program will be able to upload content to Pornhub. In the new year, we will implement a verification process so that any user can upload content upon successful completion of identification protocol."
