    Legalize porn in Pakistan to benefit the economy: Yasir Hussain

    Actor Yasir Hussain shared his thoughts on the topic of adult entertainment in Pakistan. During a discussion on the podcast, ‘Excuse Me with Ahmad Ali Butt’Yasir Hussain was asked, “Should there be adult entertainment in Pakistan?”

    Yasir replied “There’s no need to promote adult entertainment. Those who want it will find it anyway. Pakistan ranks among the top countries for watching porn, often competing with Saudi Arabia for the top spot. It’s shameful, but true. Large surveys don’t lie, this is happening. So, why not legalise it and let the government and people make money from it? He firmly stated, “I don’t want to be a part of it, I don’t want to watch or promote adult content.”

    While talking about content, which Yasir likes to watch, he said, “I want to watch Punjab’s juggat (a form of comedy), I want to watch Amanullah, Sohail Ahmed, Iftikhar Thakur, Honey Albela, and Sahawat Naz’s content.”

    Yasir Hussain has worked in dramas like Badshah Begum, Baandi, and Baaghi. He also worked in films like Karachi Say Lahore, Taxali, and Rabbit.

  • Pornhub bans downloads after expose alleges videos of abuse

    Pornhub bans downloads after expose alleges videos of abuse

    Pornography website Pornhub has outlined new measures against illegal content on its platform after the New York Times reported finding videos depicting child sex abuse and rape on the site.

    The paper asserted that among the 6.8 million new videos posted on the site each year, a majority “probably involve consenting adults, but many depict child abuse and non-consensual violence.”

    Pornhub, the Times said, also lets users download videos directly from its site, which allows anyone to repost clips repeatedly and without limit.

    “Today, we are taking major steps to further protect our community,” said a statement on Pornhub. “Going forward, we will only allow properly identified users to upload content. We have banned downloads.”

    Only content partners and people who earn ad revenue from their videos will be able to upload videos to the site.

    “In the new year, we will implement a verification process so that any user can upload content upon successful completion of identification protocol,” the statement read.

    Paid downloads remain possible, says the company, adding that it has also strengthened its moderation process.

    On Monday officials at MasterCard and Visa launched a probe into their links with the site, warning that they would cut ties with the parent company, MindGeek if it turns out that the site is not following the law. Meanwhile, PayPal had stopped processing payments to Pornhub last year.

    Pornhub told AFP in a statement that it has “no tolerance” for content that shows sexual abuse of children.

    Pakistan reportedly tops the list of most porn-searching countries.

  • Twitter reacts to ‘Pornhub popup’ during CNN’s live coverage of US election

    In a rather awkward incident, a Pornhub popup has allegedly appeared during CNN’s live coverage of the United States (US) presidential election.

    According to the details, as the neck-and-neck race for the key to the White House between Democratic challenger Joe Biden and American President Donald Trump stretches over four days now, someone at CNN seems to be in dire need of a distraction.

    A video doing rounds over the internet shows senior American journalist Wolf Blitzer commenting on the endless counting of votes in Pennsylvania while news anchor John King, who is said to not have slept for more than six hours since Tuesday, stands on the other side of the studio, in front of a big interactive screen.

    It isn’t later that King notices what is being claimed to be a Pornhub popup on the screen. A quick gesture and the alleged porn site label, perhaps visited at that moment by someone in the editorial office, disappears.

    The anchor is then seen giving someone a “death stare”, leaving netizens wondering if he knew who it was.
