2257 Record-Keeping Compliance Statement
This statement explains the role of EarnPorn.com in relation to U.S. federal record-keeping rules commonly known as 18 U.S.C. §§ 2257 and 2257A, and related regulations. EarnPorn is an editorial and educational website about adult creator income, creator platforms, webcam platforms, traffic, privacy and monetization strategies.
Short version
EarnPorn.com does not produce, film, upload, host, sell, distribute or publish sexually explicit visual depictions of performers. EarnPorn is an editorial resource that publishes guides, platform comparisons, creator signup information, monetization education and links to third-party services.
Because EarnPorn does not create or host performer content, EarnPorn is not the custodian of performer identity records for third-party adult platforms, creators, studios, agencies, webcam sites, subscription sites or affiliate programs that may be mentioned or linked from this website.
This page is a compliance and transparency statement. It is not legal advice and does not replace advice from a qualified attorney.
1. EarnPorn’s role
EarnPorn.com is an independent adult-industry editorial and educational website. Our content may include adult creator guides, platform signup walkthroughs, comparisons, monetization strategies, privacy-first creator advice, webcam model guides, SEO/traffic education and affiliate disclosures.
EarnPorn does not operate as an adult content production studio, webcam platform, subscription platform, adult tube site, clip store, content host, user-upload platform or performer agency.
EarnPorn does not maintain private performer identity files for third-party adult content because EarnPorn does not produce or host the explicit visual depictions that would require those records.
2. No production or hosting of explicit performer content
EarnPorn does not knowingly display, host or store sexually explicit visual depictions involving performers on this website. Our pages are intended to be informational, editorial and educational.
Any screenshots, platform references, brand names, interface examples, logos, buttons, links or descriptions used on EarnPorn are for educational, commentary, review, comparison, platform navigation or affiliate disclosure purposes.
If EarnPorn links to a third-party platform where adult content may exist, that third-party platform, creator, producer, publisher or operator is responsible for its own age verification, performer consent, content moderation, records, legal compliance and record-keeping obligations.
3. Third-party platforms and external links
EarnPorn may discuss or link to third-party adult creator platforms, webcam platforms, affiliate programs, subscription platforms, clip stores, creator tools, payment tools or related services. These third parties are independent from EarnPorn.
Third-party websites are responsible for their own compliance with applicable law, including any 18 U.S.C. § 2257, 18 U.S.C. § 2257A, 28 C.F.R. Part 75, age verification, performer consent, content moderation, payout, tax, privacy, safety or platform-specific obligations that apply to them.
EarnPorn does not control third-party websites, does not review every item of content that may appear on third-party platforms, and does not act as record custodian for those third parties.
4. 18 U.S.C. §§ 2257 / 2257A position
To the extent that any third-party website, platform, producer, creator, agency or advertiser produces or publishes content that is subject to 18 U.S.C. §§ 2257 or 2257A and related regulations, the required records should be maintained by the appropriate producer, publisher, platform operator, records custodian or other legally responsible party.
EarnPorn does not create the underlying adult performer content and does not hold itself out as the records custodian for such third-party material.
If a specific third-party platform or creator is required to maintain records, users should refer to that third party’s own 2257 statement, compliance page, legal notice, terms of service, records custodian information or support process.
5. Age, consent and prohibited material
EarnPorn is intended only for adults aged 18 or older, or the legal age for adult content in the user’s jurisdiction if higher.
EarnPorn does not support, allow, encourage or knowingly promote:
- Content involving minors or anyone under the legal age required for adult content.
- Non-consensual intimate material or any content created, shared or distributed without consent.
- Trafficking, coercion, exploitation, revenge pornography, stolen content or illegal sexual material.
- Attempts to bypass platform verification, age checks, identity checks or content rules.
- Misleading users into creating adult content without understanding the risks, obligations and platform requirements.
Any platform, creator, advertiser or third party referenced by EarnPorn is expected to operate legally, verify age, obtain proper consent, follow applicable law and comply with its own policies.
6. Affiliate and sponsored links
Some EarnPorn pages may contain affiliate, referral, sponsored or commercial links. If a user clicks certain links and signs up or purchases a service, EarnPorn may earn a commission at no extra cost to that user.
Affiliate relationships do not make EarnPorn the producer, host, publisher or records custodian of third-party adult content. Affiliate links are commercial relationships with third-party platforms or services, not ownership or control over their content, creators, compliance files or performer records.
EarnPorn aims to disclose affiliate and sponsored relationships where relevant and to keep editorial information separate from paid visibility or advertising relationships.
7. Reporting concerns
If you believe that EarnPorn has accidentally linked to, referenced or displayed material that is illegal, non-consensual, underage-related, infringing, misleading or otherwise unsafe, please contact us promptly through our Contact page.
If your concern relates to copyright, ownership or unauthorized use of protected material, please use our DMCA page.
If your concern relates to content hosted by a third-party platform, you should also contact that third-party platform directly through its own abuse, legal, compliance or support process, because EarnPorn does not control third-party hosted content.
