I've seen some extremely questionable thumbnail images in some places but I have no idea how to report such things w/o being on the LIST myself. Sites are generally off shore I assume to avoid FBI oversite?

This article really makes me think porn should probably be more regulated and probably left to the professionals. It's insane that these sites don't require proof on consent from all parties involved.
HACK JOKE ALERT
But has porn ever tried "Don't Try This At Home" PSAs RE: amateur porn like WWE did RE: Backyard wrestling in the '00s/early 2010s.
"I've performed in an 87 person gangbang"
"I've gotten over 36 different STDs"
"I ruptured my asshole. Tore it apart."
"I've performed in scenes with Ron Jeremy."
"We're committed performers and sometimes even we make mistakes and are hurt in the line of duty. Whatever you do...don't try this at home!"

The thing is, though, that putting further restrictions on PornHub won't do anything to stop or slow sex trafficking because there will always be sites that will be smaller in traffic but grander in reliance on user-generated content. You won't be able to crack down on all of it without making the creation, distribution, and consumption of adult content illegal...which is a direct violation of the First Amendment.
Even the requirement of proof of age and consent for user-generated content could be seen as an invasion of privacy. There isn't much of an easy answer to this issue, unfortunately.
Further restrictions to the uploading of content should be implemented. I'm just not sure how they'd go about it.

*big sigh*
As a frequent consumer of the genre, I've learned the best way to avoid doing something illegal is to stick with viewing via platforms that are confirmed legal and regulated. If the actress doesn't have some sort of profile on the IAFD I'm leery. There are verifiable companies that produce fake amateur style content for those that prefer that style, and you're generally safe from accidentally stumbling onto something that's going to get you on a registry.
It's bad enough the performers only get paid the day of filming, and receive no royalties from the subsequent sale of the videos. Tack on pornhub probably is a bigger DMCA headache than youtube, I think the free part of the site is just a bad idea altogether, for creators (sans the performers & companies that now contract their content with Pornhub).
One good thing I've noticed in modern pornography is that the creators utilizing platforms like Onlyfans (et al...) are better at policing the "hub" sites and sending takedown notices than the major studios. Say what you will about the quality of DIY porn careers, it is damn near impossible to find bootlegged versions of a good number of the creators and good for them for taking control.
Child sex trafficking is unforgivable to me and in 2020 there has got to be a tech way to reverse track the source of illegal videos popping up on the "hub" sites. And frankly, it takes a sick fuck to just carry out the crime from the start, much less escalating it to uploading on such a public platform. I feel bad for the one victim interviewed, videos she was forced to film as a child, she's worried will affect her adult professional life. So not only do we have, as a culture, sex shaming legal consenting adults for porn careers, we have to worry about VICTIMS being shamed too!? Not very encouraging for people needing to reach out for help.
In my limited circle of friends in real life and the internet that work in various forms of "sex work" they're the biggest advocates for stopping child & adult sex trafficking. On the most basic level, that trafficking exists, puts a stink on their very legal and consenting professions, getting lumped in unfairly by an uneducated public. I don't know what exactly the major studios could do as far as social advocacy goes, obviously no one wants a PSA prefacing their "alone time" but the less illegal stuff there is, the more legitimacy can be gleaned from the public eye on their work.

Whenever I see @SFH break something down like that, I always think of that exchange between Dave Chappelle and M.C. Gainey from Con Air:
"It's amazing the shit you white trash know."
Said with love, of course.

In a Huge Policy Shift, Pornhub Bans Unverified Uploads
On Tuesday, Pornhub announced that it is banning downloads, restricting uploads, and expanding its content moderation efforts.
www.vice.com
So Pornhub is basically McDonalds, a scapegoat of an entire industry. Burger King and Taco Bell, I mean XVIDEOS and xHamster breathe huge sighs of relief.

XVideo and XHamster were mentioned in the New York Times article and NYT actually said XVideos had even less standards than PornHub but since it wasn't the focus, I guess they let it slide?

To creeps, this day will go down as Black Monday.
I don't know why I forgot that other sites like RedTube and YouPorn are under the Pornhub umbrella, so all those are getting sent to the bushes too.
Not a good day for jerking off

There are enough content creators partnered with the site that cover most niche interests that everyone should still be pretty much still catered to. They might have to discover new performers, but there's still enough "free stuff" posted to appease the masses.
