(POLYGON) — YouTube’s crackdown on hate speech, bullying and conspiracy-theory videos has sent some in search of alternatives, and it looks like PornHub might be their answer.
The search began when people began posting screenshots of gun videos — content that YouTube recently announced it was placing stricter restrictions on — that ended up in PornHub’s safe-for-work section. Gun videos are now part of a YouTube policy prohibiting certain kinds of content that are strictly prohibited, and will be removed from the website. According to the policy, this covers any video that:
Intends to sell firearms or certain firearms accessories through direct sales (e.g., private sales by individuals) or links to sites that sell these items. These accessories include but may not be limited to accessories that enable a firearm to simulate automatic fire or convert a firearm to automatic fire (e.g., bump stocks, gatling triggers, drop-in auto sears, conversion kits), and high capacity magazines (i.e., magazines or belts carrying more than 30 rounds).
