Over the years, we have remained steadfast in taking proactive measures to ensure the safety of our creators, users, and platform. We know that creators and users alike rely on our platform to be a safe, stable, and respectful space. That’s why we verify uploaders and have strict moderation protocols requiring mandatory proof of consent and identity for all performers in Model content. This ensures content on our site meets the highest standards of identity verification and consent.
Why Does it Matter?
Protecting the legal and consensual work of verified Models and building trust with our community is essential in the digital age. By requiring verified identification documents (IDs) and consent for performers, we help combat the distribution of non-consensual content and add an important layer of safety and security. This also ensures that the right creators are getting paid for the views in their work. These measures go beyond compliance. They build a community based on trust, respect, and accountability.
How we Establish a Safe Environment
Our approach to safety features many layers:
- Verified Creators Only: Only verified creators who complete our process and submit ID can upload content to our platform.
- Thorough Moderation: Every upload is reviewed by both advanced technology and trained human moderators to ensure it meets our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
- ID and Consent for All Performers: We validate proof of identity and consent for everyone featured in content uploaded through our Model Program.
- Secure Collaborator Tagging: Our Collaborators tagging feature ensures performers who are already verified Models on Pornhub grant consent before content featuring them is approved and published.
- Accountability: We cooperate with law enforcement and work with reputable organizations worldwide through our Trusted Flagger Program, to quickly address any content that may violate our standards.
- Disabled Downloads: Free videos are not available to download. We removed the ability for users to download content from Pornhub several years ago. In tandem with our fingerprinting technology, this helps prevent previously removed content from being re-uploaded.
- Continuous Policy Updates: We regularly update our Trust and Safety policies to respond to new challenges and protect both creators and users.
As of June 30, any content that did not meet our performer verification standards was disabled and removed from our site. If your content was removed in error, please contact models@pornhub.com. Our team will work to validate our records and reinstate any videos that are compliant with our Terms of Service. Our priority is to keep your compliant content active and if eligible, monetized.
These ongoing efforts help ensure that only content meeting our requirements remains available, giving you peace of mind that your work is respected and protected. It also helps stop stolen content from being uploaded to other sites, lowers the risk of AI-generated content using your likeness without your consent, and makes it easier to investigate and resolve performer disputes, along with providing many other protections.
Setting a Higher Standard
Our verification and moderation processes go well beyond what the law requires because we believe in building a safer internet. Our hope is that in leading by example, other platforms will also adopt these as standards, even though they are not required by law.
We are committed to continuously making updates to keep our site safe. As with all updates to our policies, we work with and inform our community first and roll out our updates in phases to ensure clear communication with all our Models.
Thank You to Our Model Community
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible Model community for your ongoing commitment to safety and transparency and for sticking with us through these updates to our protocol. By consistently uploading IDs and consent documentation for all your additional performers, you help us maintain the highest standards of consent and transparency. That’s what helps make this platform a safer place for all adults. Your efforts not only protect your own content but also reinforce how the adult industry can effectively self-govern and reinforce consent as a core value in our operations.
