Pornhub users now have to input their passport details to access the site
It's just come to light that PornHub is now asking millions of users to login to the site using their personal details as well as their passport. Don't start stressing just yet though as it's only affecting users in Russia at the moment.
The Russian government has been trying for years to make it harder for people in the country to access porn websites, with officials saying that PornHub is harming the development of children. Hmm, I think there's a lot more fucked up shit in Russia harming the development of children.
Russian users are asked to log in to social network site VKontakte, which then links to a section where they can input their passport info as well as their date of birth. Apparently it's only done so that the website can be sure that the user is old enough but like many people have been saying, it also leaves users vulnerable to hackers. We all know what happened with the Ashley Madison users.
It won't be long until the UK are imposing the same rules and in all honestly I'm just not sure this is a good thing. Thoughts?
