Porn 2.0, is named after "Web 2.0", refers to pornographic websites featuring user-generated content, including social networking features such as user-based categorizing, webcam hosting, blogs and comments.[1][2][3] This is in contrast to the static content offered by "Web 1.0" porn sites. Porn 2.0 sites may offer features similar to mainstream Web 2.0 services such as video communities, (Metacafe, Vimeo, YouTube) social sites, (Tumblr, Twitter), general blogging platforms, (Blogger, DailyBooth, Lookbook.nu) and photo hosting services (Flickr, Photobucket, Picasa).
Since their inception, Porn 2.0 Web sites have gathered great popularity, but have meanwhile encountered various legal and other difficulties. Among these difficulties are concerns about the digital content copyright, trade media and affiliating partnership advertising. Other concerns include the idea of sharing versus privacy and the legal ramifications of large quantities of free, user-generated pornographic content on the Internet.
Unlike Web 2.0 ventures such as Meta Platforms, Myspace or YouTube, Porn 2.0 was initially unable to find a strategy that proved to be commercially profitable. High server costs from hosting the large amount of user-generated content paired with little to no user-generated income put Porn 2.0 websites in a challenging financial position. Because Porn 2.0 services were initially free of charge to users, the only source of revenue for these sites was from advertising placement.[citation needed]
By the late 2010s content subscription service websites such as OnlyFans were allowing adult-content creators to directly monetize their content.[4]
One of the central issues to Porn 2.0 is Copyright infringement.[5] Porn 2.0 websites have come under attack as being potentially harmful to the economics of more traditional pornography outlets such as DVD sales and monthly paid subscription adult sites.[6]
The distribution of sexually explicit images or videos of individuals without their consent is called revenge porn. The practice began in pornographic magazines in the late 20th century. The uploading of such images to the Internet to humiliate and intimidate people has become a significant societal issue in the 21st century.
Uploading material without a model's consent is usually prohibited by a website's terms of use, although some sites such as Voyeurweb allow non-consensual photos and move offices frequently to avoid the legal issues this might otherwise entail.[7] Photos and videos of non-consenting models are often obtained through the use of hidden cameras and the sexualization of their nudity. A woman going nude for a shower at her gym, for example, may be filmed without her knowledge and have the video distributed as porn.[8][9]
News media have suggested the possibility of a future Porn 3.0, based on the use of technologies such as 3D stereoscopy, multi-angle DVD,[10] neural impulse actuators, animation using AI technologies,[10] and peripheral controller and devices[10] similar to game controller vibration or Teledildonics, eliminating less probable technologies such as holograms.
