Fiasco happened as prominent websites relied on the domain vid.me to embed streaming videos in their articles. The Washington Post, New York Magazine, and Huffpost, among others, saw their stories now displaying porn videos instead of the once-embedded intended ones. The incident, first reported by Motherboard, was spotted yesterday by a user DOXIE, who has shared many more examples in their Twitter thread: Twitter hasn t noticed but a now-defunct video hosting/advertising platform (VidMe) let their domain expire so it was purchased by a porn website, now there is NSFW porn all over the regular internet.
