Warning: This story contains some offensive language

So-called spy-cam porn has existed in China for at least a decade, despite the fact that producing and distributing porn is illegal in the country.

But in the past couple of years the issue has become a regular talking point on social media, with people - particularly women - swapping tips on how to spot cameras as small as a pencil eraser. Some have even resorted to pitching tents inside hotel rooms to avoid being filmed.

    They wiped out all the non professional porn awhile ago. 90% of it so was deleted over night. Everything is tied to an onlyfans or studio now

      because the ‘actors’ could not be verified they were of appropriate age, or if they had consented to being in mass distributed pronography. it was a needed change, which is why i think putting restriction on the access to porn is a bad idea, because only the closest thing to reputable sites will honor the demand, leaving only the skuzziest of options available

        I just miss user generated content. Not just a porn thing. I get what you’re saying. But you’re essentially what I hate about the internet. What you’re saying means mass commercialization. Everywhere must be a seller and we are buyers. I prefer the internet when it was regular people creating things.

        Maybe like forums where you need to be a member. But even the smaller sites are all mostly owned by the same company. They all pull from the same source it’s just different categories. The days of user created porn haven’t been a thing for a while.

          I see new stuff all the time on public sites. I suppose it depends on what you’re looking for.

          None of the sites are corporate. None of them have paid memberships. It’s all ad based if anything.

                Aaaand you’ve got my attention.

                I don’t like video tho, just pictures, so I followed Tumblr till it went down and then NewTumbl until it went down and now a third-gen clone that doesn’t have anywhere near the niches but is getting better, and pretty soon it’ll go down too.

            I bet you don’t notice it but they’re mostly all tied to an onlyfans somewhere. It was an effort by the porn sites to remove them. Anything that wasn’t verified is purged

              Oh sure there are a good number of OF watermarks. I should be more clear, this isn’t women. Women don’t do get nude for free haha. This is dudes, and we all know dudes will have sex on camera for free.

      They? Are you talking about pornhub? According to the article, this clearly wasn’t pornhub.

        Pornhubs parent company owns like 95% of all pornsites that host porn videos. When they scrubbed their content, everything trickled down. This video is in China. It’s an entirely different system there.

            These sites are paid for and you get links from telegram. This is in China. They haven’t allowed unverified porn on the internet for awhile now.
