18 U.S.C. § 2257
Last updated:
U.S. federal law can impose performer age-verification and recordkeeping duties on producers of certain sexually explicit visual depictions. Whether a duty applies depends on the law and the actual activity.
The role of findthatporn
findthatporn searches third-party catalog metadata and loads permitted official provider video players automatically in authorized search results after entry. Playback starts through the provider’s playback control. We do not produce original video recordings, offer user uploads or host the source video files.
Remote hosting alone does not determine whether an activity is legally that of a producer. Applicable duties depend on the law and the actual activity; this description is not a blanket exemption from 18 U.S.C. §§ 2257–2257A or a claim that findthatporn or every provider complies.
Where to ask about records
For a particular video, consult the source provider’s records statement and the producer or named records custodian. findthatporn does not present itself as custodian of third-party performer records and cannot verify a performer’s age from catalog metadata.
To flag a missing records statement or suspected unlawful listing, send us its listing and source URLs. Do not send unlawful media or performers’ identity documents.
Adults only; confirmation is not verification
Visitors must be at least 18 and meet any higher age requirement where they are. Our adult confirmation is the visitor’s self-declaration, not verification of their identity or age, nor proof of a performer’s age, consent or records status.
