Where to Find Porn Without Tumblr

WIRED writer Emily Dreyfuss joins the Gadget Lab to talk about Tumblr's porn ban and where active members of that community are headed next.

The internet is for porn. Lately, though, platforms have become squeamish about hosting it. Facebook doesn’t allow nudity. Neither does Instagram. Patreon put the kibosh on creators adult content. Now, microblogging site Tumblr—previously one of the most porn-friendly platforms, especially for niche interests—announced a ban on pornographic content and nudity earlier this week.

So, where’s all the porn now? We pose the question to WIRED senior writer Emily Dreyfuss, who shines the spotlight on two websites that could fill the void—and, in a strange way, return us to the promises of the early internet.
