#2PornHub: The last bastion of a free and good internet. There is also some porn.
I think 10 years ago people would have laughed at the idea that a federal law pushed gun enthusiasts into pornographic websites.

#3Why pornhub and not vimeo or dailymotion?

#4I'm not saying this is one of those stories, but Pornhub does a lot of PR stunts that exist just to get their name in the news. And since we live in the clickbait economy, outlets will gladly go along with it.

What federal law? YouTube is a private company and they decided they didn't want this content on their platform.

SESTA/FOSTA and (probably) CLOUD act.
I severely doubt this is because of politics on guns, I'm not a pro-gun enthusiast but I do enjoy videos showing safe gun care or historic guns (or just the slingshot channel).
Reddit and Youtube have both removed the same kind of content from their platform, this is not limited to gun enthusiasts but also includes various other content.
People like Cody, who runs Cody's Lab, have made videos on how to make a bullet out of mercury. It's entirely impractical for any real world usage but it's nonetheless informative and educational, especially since he explains the safety precautions taken.

Because those gun enthusiasts are very, very enthusiast.

#8I know "tits and guns" is an established expression when talking about somewhat simplistic movies...
But this is taking it a bit too literal :)

I like Forgotten Weapons. It has serious historical information, and I will be pissed off if Google deletes it.
It seems to be that the principle behind net neutrality -- that of a common carrier -- shouldn't just apply to the ip layer, but should also sometimes apply to higher levels of the technology stack, especially when a provider has a large market share.

#10I can't see PornHub continuing to allow these videos. It's not really in keeping with the core product, and previous stunts give the impression that they tend towards the left wing. I give it a week for them to start removing gun videos.
