Porn 2.0 is a term derived from "Web 2.0" that describes pornographic websites featuring amateur content and interactive social networking features, such as user-generated categorization, webcam hosting, blogs, and comment sections.[1][2][3] This is in contrast to the static content offered by "Web 1.0" porn sites. Porn 2.0 sites may offer features similar to mainstream Web 2.0 services such as video communities, including Meta café, Vimeo, and YouTube, as well as social sites, (Tumblr and Twitter), general blogging platforms, (Blogger, Daily Booth, and Lookbook.nu) and photo hosting services (Flickr, Photobucket, and Picasa).
Since their inception, Porn 2.0 sites have gathered great popularity but have encountered various legal and other difficulties. Among these difficulties are concerns about digital content copyright, trade media, and affiliating partnership advertising. Other concerns include the idea of sharing versus privacy and the legal ramifications of large quantities of free, amateur pornographic content on the Internet.
