Summary

The first episode of the season is an intimate conversation between our two hosts, Asa and Alex. We talk about Alex’s new role as (the first) public-facing spokesperson of Pornhub, common misconceptions about the adult industry, and all of the questions about Pornhub you’ve probably wondered but never had the opportunity to ask. Terms of Service is a Pornhub podcast on censorship and the politics of free speech co-hosted by Asa Akira, a Pornhub brand ambassador and renowned performer, and Alex Kekesi, Pornhub’s Head of Brand and Community. With guests from the arts, film, and fashion - alongside sex work advocates, porn stars and academics, Terms of Service discusses the diverse, and often overlooked, aspects of censorship including deplatforming, cancellation, and shadowbanning, banking and financial discrimination, and the uneven treatment of adult performers on social media. Season 1 guests include celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, downtown podcasters The Ion Pack, sex work advocate and AVN MILF of the year Cherie Deville, and more.

Welcome to Terms of Service, a new Pornhub Podcast. This is a show where I Asa Akkera a porn star along with my boss Alex Guchese the VP of Brand a community at Pornhub talk with people from

0:19.9

various industries and points of view regarding matters of censorship,

0:23.7

deplatforming, free speech, and the most interesting thing in the world, sex.

0:28.7

So I guess to start hello who are you?

0:35.0

Hi I'm Alex Kacassi and I'm porn hubs VP of Brandon community.

0:40.0

Okay what does that mean?

0:42.0

That's a great question.

0:44.0

So it is a new role within Pornhub, but it's a role that I'm really excited about.

0:51.1

I've been with the company for a little under 10 years now and in that time

0:56.5

I've really enjoyed the work that I've done more directly I guess with performers and with the larger sex work industry and I think what this

1:07.1

is going to allow me to do in being more visible in the role is to successfully bridge a little bit better the links between the more

1:17.8

corporate side of the pornography industry and the actual sex work community itself and to really, you know, with that bridging,

to a brand that, like I said, has been sort of at the forefront of the industry for a while but just to help people sort of better understand us and who we are and what we're about.

2:10.0

Yeah, and I can say, you know, as a sex worker, I think that feels like something that's really needed because I think so often when it comes to sex work, you know, whether people are against us or for us, there is always
