Shocking!!! As PornHub Is Set To Buy Tumblr

Less than two years after buying Tumblr as part of its Yahoo acquisition, Verizon is reportedly trying to sell the blogging platform. Pornhub has also announced that it wants to buy Tumblr and end the site's Verizon-imposed porn ban. Now, PornHub is interested in purchasing Tumblr with a view to restoring its adult adult content in 2013.

If PornHub purchases Tumblr, the company could profit from adult content that they don't own and potentially exploit sex workers.

"We've long been dismayed that such measures were taken to eradicate erotic communities on the platform, leaving many individuals without an asylum through which they could comfortably peruse adult content," Price said.

At the time of the ban, PornHub urged Tumblr users who still wanted to share adult content to move to their platform.

However, because PornHub is notorious for being a tube website which plays unfiltered adult content without necessarily giving its performers or creators the credit it deserves, John Constantine of TechCrunch said that the adult entertainment giant might not be the savior disillusioned former Tumblr users are looking for.

However, this all changed in December 2018 when the website banned all pornographic material, including "female-presenting" nipples - although there were some exceptions if this content could be classed as art.

“Given Pornhub parent company MindGeek's record of exploitation of adult performers, that could be a disastrous proceeding for the world of kink," as  he wrote.
