LE††UCE PREY
Adult entertainment site Pornhub has offered free premium memberships in response to the coronavirus pandemic. A blog post on the company’s website states: “[W]e’ve decided to play our part in encouraging everyone to stay home and are launching Free Premium worldwide until April 23.” During the pandemic, Pornhub has reported increased traffic to its website that the company says is correlated to the spread of coronavirus and the implementation of “quarantines, social distancing and work-at-home efforts encouraged or required by most states.”
This Pornhub offer has concerned Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, which has been labeled a “Hate Group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center and David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network.
But on Wednesday’s edition of “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins,” listeners were given grave warnings about the increase in Pornhub ’s web traffic. Perkins said that the adult entertainment industry was aiming its efforts at vulnerable members of society and “literally preying upon these people” and that the offer of free premium content was “creating a lot of problems.”
“While they may be offering the service at no charge, it comes with a high price,” Perkins said.
Pornhub has been free to use all along. The premium membership is ad-free, high speed, and higher definition. More bang for your buck if you will.
