This is not a porn site.

It is a record of what platforms in the adult industry announced, and what actually happened afterward.

There is no explicit material here, and there never will be.

What this site does

  • NewsAge verification law, payment processor decisions, platform policy changes, data breaches, court rulings. Reported as they happen, with the document attached.
  • InformationPlain explanations of how these platforms are structured, how performers are actually paid, what a takedown request can and cannot do, and what happens to material once it has been uploaded.
  • AggregationScattered records pulled into one place. Legislation, corporate registrations, platform terms of service and court dockets sit in different systems in different countries. Here they sit next to each other.
  • AnalysisWhat the assembled record shows. Clearly marked as our reading, and never mixed with the record itself.

The method

Every entry has the same shape. A claim was made publicly, on a date, in a document anyone can check. Something followed, or nothing did. Both halves are cited.

AnnouncedA platform announces verified consent documentation for all uploads.
Then whatThe verification process is never described. The announcement stays online.
AnnouncedA site states it complies with a named jurisdiction's age verification law.
Then whatNo verification is required at the point of entry.
AnnouncedPerformers are told earnings are held in escrow and paid on schedule.
Then whatPayouts stop. The processor says it never held the account.

Our standard

Documented record and opinion are kept apart and labelled. Where a claim rests on a filing, the filing is cited. Where it rests on our reading of two documents placed side by side, we say so plainly.

We take no payment, affiliate commission or advertising from any adult platform, and we never will. There are no referral links on this site and there will not be any. That is the whole basis on which this is worth reading.

We correct errors. If something here does not match the record, write to us with what you have and it will be fixed.

Why bother

This is one of the largest industries on the internet and one of the least examined. Coverage tends to arrive as moral argument or as marketing, and rarely as a record of what companies committed to and whether they did it. The people with the least protection in it are the performers.

The legislation exists. The filings exist. The press releases exist. Nobody is reading them next to each other. That is the entire gap this site is built to fill.

In development

The first entries are being assembled now. If you are a journalist, researcher, regulator or attorney working in this area, or you have documents that belong in the record, get in touch.

The Adult Industry, Analyzed: Six Steps

Web3Porn.com covers the business, law and technology of the adult industry, with consent, privacy and healthy use first.

0 of 6 complete
Much of the industry has moved from studios to independent creators selling directly to subscribers, who keep a larger share of revenue.

Subscription platform

A growing number of US states require adult sites to verify visitors' ages. In 2025 the US Supreme Court upheld Texas's age-verification law.

Age verification law

Legitimate platforms verify the identity and age of everyone who appears in content and keep consent records. Content without verified consent has no place anywhere.

Consent records

Adult sites are frequent targets for data breaches. Private browsing, a reputable VPN and careful payment choices reduce exposure.

Data exposure

Card networks restrict adult merchants, so some creators accept crypto. Public blockchains are traceable, which is a privacy trade-off, not a shield.

Payment processor

Time limits, blockers and honest check-ins help keep use in balance. If it is crowding out sleep, work or relationships, a qualified counselor can help.
