Be careful of straightaway believing things on the Internet, eg unnecessary FUD in this case. We need to confirm such doubtful or far-fetched news with 2 or 3 other reliable sources.
In the court of law, you need very convincing proofs or evidence to convict the suspect or suspicious criminal of guilt, not just mere allegations, hearsay or rumours. Any such evidence about the CIA/FBI's involvement in prawnhub.?
Eg Is it safe or not safe to feed your pet-dogs/cats raw meat.? There are Internet articles stating it is safe and beneficial to do so. This is very likely not true. Is it safe for us to eat raw meat daily.?

I am always careful to consider such claims. It makes very much sense that authorities and powerful people have a hand in this adult industry businesses. How can they be surviving for so long for years, why do porn websites employ the most advanced tracking technology first hand and how could the authorities gain access to their visitor database?
Are Porn Websites Tracking You?https://www.techworm.net/2016/10/porn-websites-tracking.htmlGoogle And Facebook Secretly Track Your Activity On Porn Sites, Microsoft Reportshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/201...s/#a33ed42f7ad5QUOTE
Nearly 100 million people watch porn daily. Porn is one of the most searched keyword on Google, Bing and other search engines. While Google, Facebook and other ‘normal’ websites track you, it would be naive on your part to assume that the popular porn websites like Prawnhub and X-video don’t track you.
Yes, they track you and they meticulously compile that data to show you specific ads. It is also rumoured that some of them sell data to the highest bidder as dirty data is often the most coveted data.
Adult websites generate one of the largest traffic on the web. This is something people are often to shy to bring up or admit it it public.
That kind of traffic it generates is too lucrative to ignore to highest bidders who are interested to pay for it.
Google and Facebook’s Tracking Software Is Widely Used On Porn Sites, Shows New Studyhttps://www.theverge.com/2019/7/18/20699025...nito-mode-studyQUOTE
Visitors to porn sites have a “fundamentally misleading sense of privacy,” warn the authors of a new study that examines how tracking software made by tech companies like Google and Facebook is deployed on adult websites.
The authors of the study analyzed 22,484 porn sites and found that 93 percent of them leak data to third parties, including when accessed via a browser’s “incognito” mode. This data presents a “unique and elevated risk,” warn the authors, as 45 percent of porn site URLs indicate the nature of the content, potentially revealing someone’s sexual preferences.
“[E]veryone is at risk when such data is accessible without users’ consent, and thus can potentially be leveraged against them,” write the authors. “These risks are heightened for vulnerable populations whose porn usage might be classified as non-normative or contrary to their public life.” This might include countries where homosexuality is illegal, for example, or instances when a public figure’s sexuality is not public knowledge.
But while it’s clear that people are being tracked when visiting porn sites, it’s less certain what happens to this data, and in what cases it can be linked to someone’s identity.
Trackers made by Google and its subsidiaries, for example, appeared on 74 percent of the porn sites the researchers examined. But the company denies its software is collecting information that is used to build advertising profiles.
Do you know that adult websites were one of the first in the industry to deploy device fingerprinting technology?
