Woman Falsely Accused of Being a Porn Star Awarded $1 Million
A woman falsely identified as a porn star on a Kansas City radio show was awarded $1 million in damages by the U.S. District Court.
Ashley Patton filed the suit against the radio station’s owner, Entercom Kansas City, claiming she experienced mental suffering, shame and humiliation as a result of the mistake. The jury ultimately awarded Patton $250,000 in actual damages and $750,000 in punitive damages, the Kansas City Star reported.
The incident occurred on a 2012 broadcast of “Afentra’s Big Fat Morning Buzz” on 96.5 The Buzz, hosted by Afentra Bandokoudis, known as “Afentra,” and Daniel Terreros, known as “Danny Boi.”
During the show, the hosts asked listeners if they knew of any local porn stars. After two text messages referencing an Ashley Patton, the hosts Googled her name and turned up pornographic images of a woman with a similar name, Ashley Payton.
Not realizing their mistake, the station posted a list of the names culled during the show on its website along with a link to the podcast.
When Patton complained to the radio station several times, they removed it.
Patton’s lawyer Arthur Benson argued to the court that the station’s employees acted with reckless disregard to the truth and the company needed to be accountable for their actions.

Google Reverses Blogger Porn Ban Following 'Ton of Feedback'
Google issued an update on its recent decision to ban sexually explicit content on its Blogger network. The update essentially reverses the most egregious changes to a policy that would, as one consequence, have forced longtime users of the platform to either scrape their blogs of content or become essentially invisible to all but invited guests. But Google is not backing down all the way. Instead, in conceding defeat on its desired plan, it resolves to double-down on what it calls "our existing policy prohibiting commercial porn."

Bing to Launch Mobile-Friendly Ranking Algorithm
Microsoft’s Bing announced plans to prioritize sites that are optimized to serve up in mobile query results on its search engine.
The company already has begun tagging search results as "mobile-friendly," enabling users to skim through the search results to know the ones that quickly answer their questions, according to Shyam Jayasankar, program manager at Microsoft.
The ranking takes several factors into consideration, such as navigation, readability, scrolling and compatibility.
In the U.S. last year, Bing had roughly 6 percent of the mobile search market, compared with Google's 83 percent, according to figures from StatCounter.

Czech Teacher Fired After Students Find Her Porn Debut Online
The unnamed teacher, who supposedly traveled from her home town of Ceska Lipa to the country's capital of Prague for a "casting call," wound up doing a 40-minute sex scene with an equally unidentified male after sitting for a gonzo-style interview where viewers learned that she's a mother of two who's separated from her husband and is really into physical fitness.
But of course, almost no one is anonymous on the internet, and certainly not people who do Web sex scenes and hope nobody they know will see them ('cause they almost inevitably will be seen), and this teacher's students either got off on or had a good laugh at her expense—until one student's parent busted her son looking at it and blew the teacher's cover to the head teacher, who promptly fired her.
"I do not want to judge the teacher because I do not know why she did it, but it is not all right when 15-year-old children see it and gossip about it," the parent told Czech news site IDNES. "She had intercourse with a complete stranger for money in front of camera and that is not in accordance with the educational role which should be offered by teachers."
Once the performance hit the fan, however, the teacher was ready with her excuses.
"I was looking for an extra job and I found some advertisement looking for toned figures for a photo shooting," she said. "I thought it was for underwear. I think they drugged me with cocaine. I am sure that something was there. My behavior was changing and I felt very relaxed and comfortable.
"I would not be able to do something like this in normal circumstances," she added.

PornHub launches ‘sexploration’ crowdfunding campaign to make a smutty movie in space
PornHub, the adult video website that you’ve probably never even heard of let alone visited (right?), has launched a crowdfunding project to make a sex tape in space.
The company is looking to raise an ambitious $3.4 million on Indiegogo to get its plan off the ground and is promising ‘out of this world’ rewards – none of which include actually going into space. If the campaign reaches its goal, the shoot should blast off sometime late next year.
If what you really want is a copy of the resulting video, then the cheapest tier to get that is $25. For $500, you can get a shout out that will appear on the bloopers reel, or for $1,000 you can have a chat on the phone with either of the ‘stars’ in the movie.
The most expensive pledge is $150,000 and will net you one of the two space suits used in the shoot.
