18 U.S.C. § 2257 Statement

Last Updated: October 20, 2025

I. Our Position and a Crucial Clarification

This document outlines the operational policy and ethical commitment of xporndude.com (the “Site”) regarding the record-keeping practices of third-party content producers, specifically concerning the United States federal law 18 U.S.C. § 2257 (“2257”).

It is essential to understand the following:

  1. Exemption and Non-Applicability: Our Site is an information directory and review service, not a primary or secondary producer of sexually explicit content. As such, our Site is exempt from and not directly subject to the record-keeping requirements mandated by 18 U.S.C. § 2257. We do not produce, film, photograph, or create any sexually explicit content. Our function is limited to providing reviews, commentary, and links to third-party websites that host such content.

  2. No U.S. Jurisdiction: Our operations are governed exclusively by the laws of Taiwan, as stated in our Terms and Conditions. This policy does not, in any way, constitute a submission to United States jurisdiction. This statement is provided voluntarily for informational purposes and to clarify our operational standards.

The purpose of this statement is to transparently declare our internal standards and the ethical expectations we have for the third-party sites we feature. It is a voluntary declaration of our business principles, not an acknowledgment of any legal obligation under U.S. law.

II. Our Ethical Standard and Operational Policy

While we are exempt from 2257, it is our firm policy, as a matter of due diligence and ethical commitment, to only link to third-party content producers who appear to adhere to all applicable laws in their respective jurisdictions.

  1. For U.S.-Based Producers: This includes our expectation that they maintain the age and identity records required by 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and display appropriate custodian of records information as required by law.

  2. For Non-U.S. Producers: We expect compliance with all applicable age verification and record-keeping laws in their respective jurisdictions.

  3. Our General Commitment: It is our guiding principle that all models, actors, actresses, and other persons depicted in the content on adult websites reviewed and linked from our Site were 18 years of age or older at the time the content was produced.

We view a producer’s compliance with its local laws as a critical indicator of its legality and ethical standards.

III. Our Role and Limitations

Our role is strictly limited to that of a directory and review service. We emphasize the following limitations:

  • No Content Production: We do not produce, film, create, upload, or host any sexually explicit content. We do not employ, contract with, or direct any models or performers.

  • No Control Over Third-Party Content: We have no control over the content production practices, record-keeping, or age verification procedures of third-party websites we review and link to.

  • Limited Review Scope: We conduct selective reviews of third-party sites, which may include assessing visible indications of their legal compliance and reputation (such as the presence of custodian of records statements). However, we cannot and do not verify the actual existence or adequacy of third-party record-keeping practices.

  • Sole Responsibility of Producers: The ultimate legal responsibility for creating, maintaining, and providing access to 2257 records (or equivalent records under applicable law) lies solely and entirely with the respective third-party content producers.

  • No Access to Records: We do not possess, control, maintain, or have access to any 2257 records or age verification records from third-party producers. Any requests for inspection of such records by authorized government entities or law enforcement must be directed to the content producers themselves at their designated custodian of records.

  • Link Removal Authority: We reserve the right to remove links to any third-party website at any time, for any reason, at our sole discretion, including if we have concerns about their legal compliance.

IV. Reporting Potential Non-Compliance of Linked Sites

We take the legality of the sites in our directory seriously. If you have reason to believe that a website linked from our Site features content produced by a party not in compliance with its applicable record-keeping obligations, or if you believe content features performers who were underage at the time of production, we strongly encourage you to report it to us immediately.

How to Report:

Please send a detailed report to [email protected] including:

  • The specific URL of the page on our Site that links to the concerning website
  • The URL of the third-party website in question
  • A detailed description of your concerns
  • Any supporting evidence or information

Our Response:

Upon receiving a credible report, we will:

  1. Promptly review the matter and investigate the claims
  2. Assess visible compliance indicators on the third-party website
  3. If we determine, at our sole discretion, that there is a significant concern regarding a linked site’s compliance, we may immediately remove all links and references to that site from our directory
  4. Report serious concerns to appropriate authorities if warranted

We take all reports seriously, but we cannot guarantee investigation of every third-party site or verification of compliance. Our actions are based on our good faith assessment of the information available to us.

V. Cooperation with Law Enforcement

Consistent with our commitment to ethical operations and as stated in our Terms and Conditions and Disclaimer, we reserve the right to cooperate with law enforcement agencies in cases of suspected illegal activity. If we become aware of potentially illegal content involving minors, we will take appropriate action, which may include reporting to relevant authorities and removing links to the offending sites.
