Victims of Revenge Porn Mount Class Action Suit Against GoDaddy and Texxxan.com

“I don’t think that society really realizes how rampant it is,” Sarah, a victim of revenge porn, told Betabeat in a feature we wrote last month about the effort to put a stop to sites that take intimate photos of women and publish them without their permission. “And right now,” she added, “there’s not a lot that victims can do about it.”

Last week, however, several women–some affiliated with Sarah’s organization, End Revenge Porn–joined a class action lawsuit with the hopes of taking down a prominent revenge porn website. Read More

Revenge Porn King Hunter Moore Claims He’s Getting His Own TV Show

Hunter Moore, the web’s vilest revenge porn entrepreneur, announced on Twitter early this morning that a television show he has been working on has been picked up. Mr. Moore is notorious for running the revenge porn hub Is Anyone Up, where scorned people submit racy pictures of their exes without their permission. The site was shut down last year, but Mr. Moore has been planning to launch another site, HunterMoore.TV, for the last few months. Read More

Use MS Paint to Make Your Favorite Porn Pics Safe for Work

Care of Uproxx comes Betabeat’s new favorite site, Porn SFW, which collects user-submitted images of porn that have been made safe for work by superimposing silly Microsoft Paint drawings overtop of them. Basically, people take screenshots of gross porn scenes and then use Microsoft Paint to make the images ostensibly safe for work (though we wouldn’t recommend sending them to your boss any time soon).

Robots Will Soon Fulfill All Your Sexy Nurse Fantasies

Ah, the medical professional fantasy: pretty mundane fodder for a generation reared on porn, but still immensely popular. Bedding a nurse is the number one fantasy among men, in case you haven’t been to a Halloween party in the past 25 years.

Now, some futurists are predicting that robots will have a dual function in our impending utopian society: not only will they care for us when we’re sick, but they’ll also satisfy our sexual fantasies in the process. Read More

This Handy Vibrator Is a Great Place to Store Your Pitch Decks

USB drives, it seems, are never around when you need them. Not only that, they’re frequently boring looking, amounting to barely more than little pieces of plastic and metal painted monochrome colors. It’s time to disrupt USB drives, don’t you think? Michael Topolovac, cofounder of Crave, certainly does, and that’s why he designed a USB drive that is also a vibrator. Wait…what? Read More

‘Hillbillies’ Apparently the Hottest Thing in Internet Porn

A spot of news you can use from TMZ, if you think pornography obsessed with perpetuating steretypes is copacetic: “Rednecks” and/or “hillbillies” are reportedly the toast of the Internet adult content business. Movies with titles like  ”Real White Trash” and “Ozark Sex Fiend” are booming. Or, as TMZ puts it: “Redneck porn — no teeth? No problem.”

Because rural poverty is hilarious.

Somebody Accidentally Turned iTunes Russia Into a Porn Bazaar

One way to get attention for your product launch: Free porn.

Except, it’s probably not what Apple had in mind when it launched iTunes in Russia and 55 other countries yesterday, only to see the section for TV shows and movies bombarded with ads for porn sites and escort services.

Worse, under a section for “more films in different languages,” iTunes displayed actual pornographic content.    Read More
