Tech support explained that PornHub has four ways to verify a co-star:
- Upload a photo of the co-executor holding his/her own ID, followed by clear photos of the front and back of the ID, and these cannot be screenshots;
- real-time scanning of the co-executor's face and uploading an ID card;
- confirmation with an electronic signature, face scan, and ID card;
- submission of identification documents together with the consent form of the co-executor.
Addendum
It is noted that in , in the absence of co-producer verification, PornHub will leave the video on moderation until all participants complete the necessary actions.
