Why XVideos content spreads quickly

XVideos has limited automated moderation compared to Pornhub. NCII content frequently remains live for longer periods, and re uploads under different titles are common.

South Korea legal framework

Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes article 14 (illegal filming) and 14-2 (deepfake intimate images, added 2020). Filming: up to 7 years imprisonment or fine up to KRW 50 million. Distribution for profit: up to 10 years. Deepfake intimate images: up to 5 years.

The civil erasure right under PIPA right to delete plus Information and Communications Network Act takedown procedures is enforceable against XVideos regardless of where XVideos processes the data, where the data subject is in South Korea.
