Lawmakers in the US are passing age-verification laws targeting explicit content sites like Pornhub.
#StopDataPorn activists have filed a GDPR complaint against Pornhub, accusing the site of illegally processing personal data without consent and sharing it with unknown third parties.
#StopDataPorn claims that Pornhub's actions violate GDPR Article 9, as they don't ask for consent when processing personal user data and engage in undisclosed sharing of personal information.
Researchers have gathered evidence for the complaint, focusing on Pornhub's recommendation algorithm, which assigns sexual preferences without individuals' knowledge.
