Is this the end of amateur porn?

Hi guys. I have just noticed that my own silly little Xtube account has had all my pics and videos delated this morning! I notice my all-time fav Xtube video two guys mutual masturbating in the woods has also now gone! My own stuff was all very tame on Xtube me peeing and just in lycra and life jackets which I find a kinky and a turn on! I see that you can't upload to Pornhub right now as they have big problems as after a report suggested they had child content and rape content on their site, so the credit card companies have withdrawn their services from Pornhub! And they are dealitng videos, so I'm told and are having to build a complete new verification system for the new year. Anyone else lost there Xtube videos? Kev.

I just checked my Xtube account and it’s the same. All of my pictures and videos are gone and my profile is basically blank. All of my bio information is gone. I’ve also gone from 99+ favorite videos to 39. A massive amount of data appears to have been deleted. From what’s left, it looks like they “blanked out” the profile of anyone that wasn’t verified. If there is trouble, I wonder if they’re trying to save their own asses by erasing everything.

Hi, thanks I was maybe thinking it was just my account on Xtube but looks like they have done a load of accounts thanks for confirming yours has also gone! Like you say there must be trouble I feel to do this kind of wipeout! Thanks, Kev.

Looks like big trouble across the PornHub network which includes Xtube https://www.vice.com/en/article/jgqjjy/pornhub-suspended-all-unverified-videos-content

My videos on X-Tube from the past few years has been deleted.... sadly!

Thanks for that I had read a little bit about this so it seems that why this has been done drastic action none the less. I suppose when you sign up to the likes of Xtube or Pornhub if you read the small print it says they have the right to remove content at any time they like! So not much anyone could do its a shame as I lost some old clips that I don't have any longer but hey ho that's not the end of the world is it. I do think it would have been fair and proper to tell people what was happening to there accounts first mind! But typical of today! Thanks, Kev.

Unfortunately, I believe that this is a way the religious right takes control over porn on the internet...and I'm not some conspiracy theorist nutter either. They can't win in the court system, so they yell, "child porn" and the porn sites have no choice than to remove amateur porn. If there is no way to get money, Porn Hub is out of business. The same thing happened with apps. At one time, you could post nudes on apps like Grindr, but no longer. The App Stores had to ban nudes because of complaints. The claim at the time was that children could get access to nude photos through apps. I have had photos on apps purged because I was told you could see my pubic hair. I'm a furry guy and my "pubic hair" goes all the way to my neck! These groups also claimed that Craig's List was being used for human trafficking, so they had to shut down their personals. The companies don't even bother to purge the specific content they are complaining about, they just do a large sweep to stay in business. Basically, any business that has to use a CC company for processing their membership is in jeopardy of having to comply with these new rules. When will this stop? Expect this site to have restrictions place on it as well.

Same has happened to my account too. Real bummer as I don't have copies of the videos I made:-(

Yep. I thought Sod Xtube and deleted my empty account last evening for good. I'm sure a lot of stuff in time will come back but just don't like how this was done they could have given everyone a bit of warning stuff was going to have to be taken down I feel butt here you go will be interesting to see how all this pans out in the future weeks and months for sure. Thanks to all Kev.

Ah this is crap. I've lost all the vids of me having fun with friends that were on xtube. Wish they had given us time to backup our stuff. Very disappointing. Seems the end of user generated content for these sites :(

are they really deleted? or will they be restored if you provide ID for "Amateurs"? and if that is the case, I guess there is no way to delete for real without providing ID as well.

disappointing, a lot of the vids i like to watch are now gone

It's really awful that they did this! So frustrating!

I got this email back from Xtube this morning so I feel that if anyone feels their content is going to come back on reading this I doubt that is going to happen as my content was so very tame on the Xtube site some I would not have even called some porn and the rest was very soft porn.

I noticed videos for verified members stays up, but not for those who aren't verified.....

Just end this I sent another email to Xtube in response to the first one I got back from Xtube which I posted here yesterday. My second email to Xtube. Why have you deleted all my videos! What a load of rubbish this is you tell me that my content did not comply with your Term Of Service! This content had been on your Xtube site years! For Goodness sake, you are a porn site! I feel this may be due to the fact that Pornhub has run into problems with really serious issues of child content and rape content on their site which Xtube is owned by Pornhub. Why was my stuff not vetted before it was uploaded to your site many years ago if it did not meet your Xtube terms of service! Why leave it on your site years then suddenly take it down? Why was no warning told to us users that this was going to happen so we could have saved our content if we so did wish! You have broken the terms and conditions of the contact between the many users and yourself on Xtube by doing this and removing content without telling us first it has to go! I know people that are already looking into the legalities of what you have done here! But all I ask is that you tell the truth at Xtube? And not give me and others some bull and rubbish about me breaking the terms and conditions when my own videos and pictures have been on your Xtube site for 4+ years or longer. yours K********* This is the response I got back today from Xtube re what I asked yesterday as above there answer is as below. Subject: [#BQG-415-40072]: Why have you deleted all my videos! We only accept content uploads from verified users. Thank you. Please take 1-2 minutes to complete a short feedback for our customer support. This helps us improve our services for you as a customer. Regards, AndriaS Well, that was short and sweet, to say the least! It seems they can't still tell the truth that's all I asked to tell people the truth I have now deleted my own empty Xtube account thanks for the replies on this. Best wishes, Kev.

Fortunately, you have not lost anything else apart from your account. Your virginity, your health, your smile, and your hot gear still there for us to enjoy here :-)

Very well said! My thoughts entirely how I feel about this, in fact, it's quite liberating to put to fingers up to Xtube! Very well said and thank you for saying that Kev.

I've had all of my videos. and photos deleted as well. Luckily I may still have some copies of some videos lying around somewhere but it was a massive slap in the face to not even get a heads-up or way to recover it directly on the platform.

I loved your videos and can only hope we'll get to see them again somehow... :)
