Bad video where the creator refuses to say the word porn, and spends 2 minutes justifying why they doxed a minor and why that was not their fault.

The video author recaps the whole saga about porn hub purging all the unverified content.

I don't typically watch YT vids that people who I don't know recommend cause I don't want YT to start suggesting low quality crap. Can anyone fill me in on what happened here?

Yes, and I've seen this brought up a bunch recently. I think somebody has some weird personal grudge against her, and has been editing Wikipedia pages and submitting fake "tips" to gossip outlets to report on it. Most of the actual reports of Elles being underage have been deleted, likely because they weren't true. I haven't found any piece of material from a reputable source reporting this, either. I've looked into this before, and I've found no actual proof that she uploaded anything illegal, or that her award was ever rescinded.

NSFW LINKS: The most "proof" I could find is that comparing the oldest available Archive.org backup of the page to the current page shows that some of the header images have been removed, but her name and award title were never mentioned in the text of either version of the article.

EDIT: Intereting. The account that made the original claim on the Wiki article shares the same name as TraffickingPub, an org founded by Laila Mickelwait who seems to be one of the original people making this claim, and is currently selling a book titled Takedown: Insight the Fight to Shut Down PornHub for Child Abuse, Rape, and Sex Trafficking. The only other Wiki edits I can see that they've made were grammatical corrections on other porn-related articles.

Now, I'm not one to espouse conspiracy theories, but I don't think it should be ignored that the earliest reports of this claim appear to come from somebody with a financial incentive to make these claims, so interpret these findings how you wish.

EDIT: I won't be surprised if this thread or OP's video end up deleted soon. From everything I can see, Elles is likely very good at takedown requests by now. Especially considering she got OP once already.
