Chaturbate is one of the leading adult entertainment platforms, but has also recently garnered media attention due to its controversial nature. Recent leaks of personal and financial records of performers on Chaturbate has raised serious concerns regarding safety and treatment on its platform.
Some viewers are worried about their privacy while streaming on Chaturbate, particularly with 2-way camming. Although cam models are capable of viewing your footage via your camera (and many do), you have the option to broadcast screen and microphone streams with an alias or even disable the camera altogether so only your chats are visible by models.

Even with these precautions in place, some performers still find themselves exposed to the public on the internet. Therefore, it is vital that performers protect their privacy as best possible when streaming live performances online by using a stage name, not providing information that could tie back to real life, and taking measures to hide location when streaming – these tactics should help reduce chances of doxxing while keeping personal details safe.
As a digital security expert, I find it alarming that so much sensitive data has leaked from Chaturbate platforms recently, raising serious questions about their security measures and raising serious concerns for performers’ safety and wellbeing. Therefore, Chaturbate must prioritise performers’ safety by implementing stringent content moderation policies and increasing its security measures to keep its platform safe for everyone using it.
