Properly, the YouPorn brand and nicely-formatted message actually 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 might be forgetful… however I’m moderately positive 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 form of physique components which can be prone to be taking prime place in a video like this.

Ouch! So, if I don’t need the video revealed 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 cheap.

However, rattling it, there’s an issue.

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

I’m going to have to seek out another strategy to cease the video being revealed.

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

Aha! That is extra prefer it. However I’m undecided 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 nice sufficient, even when it solely prices $199.

Safety towards the video being re-uploaded to over 300 of YouPorn’s community of associate web sites for simply $699 appears like a greater deal. However cling 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 very best safety accessible to take care of my squeaky clear on-line popularity.

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

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

All for a mere $1399.

The place do I pay?
