I’ve obtained an e mail. It’s from YouPorn, they usually say it’s pressing.

This needs to be fascinating. Let’s see what it has to say.

Effectively, the YouPorn brand and nicely-formatted message definitely makes it appear like it has come from the porn video website.

And, uh-oh, it appears YouPorn’s AI algorithm has detected me in a intercourse video that has been uploaded!

Now, I could be forgetful… however I’m moderately certain that I’ve by no means knowingly appeared in a sexually specific film, not to mention uploaded it to YouPorn.

However how intelligent of YouPorn’s AI system to detect that it was me within the video, after which get in contact to warn me.

It makes me surprise what sort of AI know-how they’re utilizing right here. I imply, usually you wouldn’t anticipate even the neatest AI system to have the ability to inform who an individual was by the sort of physique components which are prone to be taking prime place in a video like this.

Oh properly, if it’s “superior know-how” that explains it. Appears like they’re fairly highly effective…

Ouch! So, if I don’t need the video printed on YouPorn I’ve to allow them to know inside seven days.

So, I suppose all I’ve to do is click on on the hyperlink to take a look at the video. Appears affordable.

However, rattling it, there’s an issue.

You see, the hyperlink within the e mail YouPorn has despatched me doesn’t go anyplace. There’s no web site tackle to go along with the https:// !

I’m going to have to search out another strategy to cease the video being printed.

Appears like they’ve bought some fairly cool know-how at YouPorn for coping with this type of scenario.

Aha! That is extra prefer it. However I’m unsure if a “fundamental specific” service that forestalls re-uploading of my saucy intercourse video to twenty web sites (I heard there are extra porn web sites than that) is sweet sufficient, even when it solely prices $199.

Safety in opposition to the video being re-uploaded to over 300 of YouPorn’s community of companion web sites for simply $699 appears like a greater deal. However dangle on, that is only for one 12 months! I don’t wish to have to wash up this mess once more in 12 months time… I want the perfect safety obtainable to take care of my squeaky clear on-line popularity.

Now this sounds extra prefer it. All the previously-mentioned safety “plus digital safety by MediaWise® and Safeguard” (something that has a registered trademark image has bought to be spectacular, proper?) “…primarily based on facial recognition information for 3 years.”

Three years isn’t pretty much as good as perpetual, nevertheless it’s higher than one 12 months. And so they appear to be guaranteeing that “any content material with my biometrics can be blocked”.

All for a mere $1399.

The place do I pay?

Hmmph. I’ve to pay by cryptocurrency? That appears slightly unorthodox. However hey, perhaps YouPorn is simply making an attempt to guard my privateness. In any case I wouldn’t essentially need my companion to identify a fee to YouPorn on my bank card invoice.

Let’s take a look at that hyperlink.

Darnit. That hyperlink doesn’t work both! I’m simply going to must assume that YouPorn has bought a intercourse video of me, as I can’t double-check for myself.

No, thank YOU.
