The largest porn site will introduce biometrics for user verification

In a recent announcement, the largest porn site Pornhub announced that it will use biometric technology

to verify users uploading videos. The service will do this to prevent scandals related to the distribution of child abuse materials.

In addition, Pornhub intends to expand its team of moderators and release a “transparent” report on its actions.

Vice recalls that in December Pornhub was accused ofposting materials related to child sexual abuse. Because of this, major payment operators, including Visa and Mastercard, have suspended the provision of Pornhub services indefinitely. Sex workers using the platform didn't like the story either.

Pornhub has already banned all unverifiedusers and forbade them to publish anything on the site. The site has also removed all content from unverified sources. Users will now be forced to provide an up-to-date photo and passport before they can upload a video.
