Why was PornWikileaks banned out of curiosity?

[HiMyNameisBobbie]

Wouldn't it fall under freedom of speech or were they violating it somehow?

I'm just curious what exactly happened with them

Pornwikileaks was never "banned". The site was bought by Bang Brothers and they shut the site down. Most in the industry were happy to see that since it had the real names of performers and other things that the stars and companies hated. So it was never banned just bought and shut down by a porn company.

As Craig says, it wasn't banned, it was bought out and closed.

Regardless of the reason why it was closed however it's a damn good thing that it was closed because it was creepy as fuck.

It gave creeps an easy way to track down pornstars in real life, find out their personal details, harrass them, follow their personal lives, speak to their friends and family and generally be nothing short of stalkers.

A lot of women were also unhappy to be outed as prostitutes/escorts. As the other posters wrote, it allowed doxxing.

Although I never agreed with the doxxing (sending "care packages" to family/employers was especially disgusting), I felt some of their points were valid. It quickly devolved into a asslathering shrine of worship for Donny Long.

Donny later bought the domain of adultfy1dotcom, which in the past was a harmless gossip site, so he could have a space to resume his rants, but that ended fairly quickly and the site now routes to another of his sites, xxxcamj0bsdotcom.

no, it has no freedom of speech implications because no party involved is a state actor. you don't know what that means? look it up.

they were bought out and shut down. the site did seem unnecessarily cruel though. a lot of entries would have a bunch of weird nasty personal insults in them along with the doxxing.

It Mostly these actress friends or clasmates that were leaking out their real names to everyone. reddit or other streaming websites are still giving out their real names on comments

Some of the HDDs were manufactured in 2001 and 2003 in that video. Must have seen a lot of mileage or BBs just burning some decommissioned junk from their own inventory

What does the date of manufacture have to do with the price of fish?

The USAF still uses B52's...
