Nice PR play by PornHub in Vice

Pornhub was the only porn site that returned a request for comment. They issued me a statement calling Thomas?s conclusions ?not only completely false, but also dangerously misleading.? In their lengthy, compelling rebuttal, Pornhub pointed out the vast amount of server space they would need to store users? viewing histories?they get 300 million requests a day, and they estimate that storing all of that would require 3,600 terabytes of space. Not to mention that sifting through all of it would be nearly impossible and maddeningly time-consuming. ?Pornhub?s raw server logs contain only the IP and the user agent for a very limited time, never a browser footprint,? a Pornhub spokesperson wrote me in an email.

What MindGeek failed to mention is they also own the company that serves ads on all of their sites. That entity collects a ton of information on users.
